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 armed with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place."
8
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite who sat in the chief seat among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite. He lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
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 there gathered together for battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
10
He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand cleaved unto the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day, and the people returned after him only to despoil.
11
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12
But he stood in the midst of the ground and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory.
13
And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines pitched camp in the Valley of Rephaim.
14
And David was then in a stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem
15
And David longed, and said, "Oh that one would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"
16
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
