5
Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlastingcovenant,ordered in all things, and sure : for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow .
6
But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away , because they cannot be taken with hands:
7
But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterlyburned with fire in the same place .
8
These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat , chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eighthundred, whom he slew at onetime.
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 that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away :
10
He arose , and smote the Philistinesuntil his hand was weary , and his handclave unto the sword: and the LORDwrought a greatvictory that day; and the peoplereturnedafter him only to spoil .
11
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of groundfull of lentiles: and the peoplefledfrom the Philistines.
12
But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORDwrought a greatvictory.
13
And three* of the thirtychief went down , and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistinespitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14
And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15
And Davidlonged , and said , Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
