2 Samuel 23:10-15 World English Bible (WEB)

10. He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.

11. After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.

12. But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.

13. Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

14. David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

15. David longed, and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
