*
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had ;
Jashobeam ,
an Hachmonite ,
the chief of the captains :
he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time .
*
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo ,
the Ahohite ,
who was one of the three mighties .
*
He was with David at Pasdammim ,
and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle ,
where was a parcel of ground full of barley ;
and the people fled from before the Philistines .
*
And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel ,
and delivered it ,
and slew the Philistines ;
and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance .
*
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David ,
into the cave of Adullam ;
and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim .
*
And David was then in the hold ,
and the Philistines '
garrison was then at Bethlehem .
*
And David longed ,
and said ,
Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem ,
that is at the gate !
*
And the three brake 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 :
but David would not drink of it ,
but poured it out to the LORD ,
*
And said ,
My God forbid it me ,
that I should do this thing :
shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy ?
for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it .
Therefore he would not drink it .
These things did these three mightiest .
*
And Abishai the brother of Joab ,
he was chief of the three :
for lifting up his spear against three hundred ,
he slew them ,
and had a name among the three .
