Contextual Overview

10 Now, these, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, - according to the word of Yahweh, concerning Israel. 11 And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David, - Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred - slain at one time. 12 And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite, - he, was among the three heroes; 13 he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, - and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines; 14 so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, - and Yahweh wrought a great victory. 15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam, - a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim. 16 Now, David, then was in the stronghold, - and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem. 17 And David longed, and said - Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate? 18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, - yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh; 19 and said - Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.
