2 Samuel 23:9-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9. and after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had withdrawn.

10. He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and clung to the sword, and the Lord brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.

11. Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.

12. But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, defended it and struck the Philistines; and the Lord brought about a great victory.

13. Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.

14. David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

15. David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"
