1 Chronicles 11:15 In-Context

13 He was with David at Pas-dammim. The Philistines were gathered there for battle, where part of a field was full of barley. When the people ran away from the Philistines,

14 he and David stood in the middle of the field, held their ground, and defeated the Philistines. So the LORD achieved a great victory.

15 Three of the thirty commanders went down from the rock to David at the fortress of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines camped in the Rephaim Valley.

16 At that time David was in the fortress, and a Philistine fort was in Bethlehem.

17 David had a craving and said, "If only someone could give me a drink of water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem."
