1 Chronicles 11:7-17

7 And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.
8 And he built the city round about, even from the Millo round about; and Joab renewed the rest of the city.
9 And David became continually greater; and Jehovah of hosts was with him.
10 And these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves valiant with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of Hachmoni, the chief of the captains; he brandished his spear against three hundred, slain [by him] at one time.
12 And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite; he was one of the three mighty men.
13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines were gathered together to battle; and there was [there] a plot of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.
14 And they stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.
15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam, when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!
