11 And after him was aShammah the son of Agee the Hararite. bThe Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines.
12 But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.
13 Then athree of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at bthe cave of Adullam. And the troop of Philistines encamped in cthe Valley of Rephaim.
14 David was then in athe stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 And David said with longing, “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
