Contextual Overview
10 These are the leaders of David's strong men. They gave him much help in his nation, together with all Israel, to make him king. It was just as the Lord had said would happen with Israel. 11 These are the names of David's strong men. There was Jashobeam the son of Hachmonite, the head of the thirty. He killed 300 men with his spear at one time. 12 Then there was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite. He was one of the three powerful soldiers. 13 He was with David at Pasdammim when the Philistines were gathered there to battle, where there was a piece of ground full of grain. And the people ran away from the Philistines. 14 But he and his men stood on the piece of ground and fought for it, and killed the Philistines. The Lord saved them by His great power. 15 Three of the thirty leaders went down to the rock and into the cave of Adullam where David was staying. The Philistine army was staying in the valley of Rephaim. 16 David was in a strong-place, while the Philistine soldiers had their place in Bethlehem. 17 David had a strong desire. He said, "O, if only someone would give me water to drink from the well by the gate of Bethlehem!" 18 So the three men broke through the Philistine army. They took water from the well by the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it to David. But David would not drink it. He poured it out to the Lord, 19 and said, "Far be it from me that I should do this before my God. Should I drink the blood of these men? For they put their lives in danger to bring it." So he would not drink it. These things are what the three powerful soldiers did.
