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!”
16 So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord.
17 And he said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this! Is this not athe blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.
18 Now aAbishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.
