*
Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had ,
who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom ,
together with all Israel ,
to make him king ,
according to the word of LORD concerning Israel .
*
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had :
Jashobeam ,
the son of a Hachmonite ,
the chief of the thirty .
He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time .
*
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo ,
the Ahohite ,
who was one of the three mighty men .
*
He was with David at Pasdammim ,
and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle ,
where was a plot of ground full of barley .
And the people fled from before the Philistines .
*
And they stood in the midst of the plot ,
and defended it ,
and killed the Philistines .
And LORD saved them by a great victory .
*
And three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David into the cave of Adullam .
And the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim .
*
And David was then in the stronghold ,
and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem .
*
And David longed ,
and said ,
Oh that a man would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem ,
which is by the gate !
*
And the three broke through the army 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 LORD ,
*
and said ,
My God forbid it of me ,
that I should do this .
Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy ?
For with [
the jeopardy of ]
their lives they brought it .
Therefore he would not drink it .

for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them ,

*
And he killed an Egyptian ,
a man of great stature ,
five cubits high .
And in the Egyptian '
s hand was a spear like a weaver '
s beam .
And he went down to him with a staff ,
and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian '
s hand ,
and killed hi
