His words were on my tongue.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>The God of Israel spoke to them.

Truly, he makes these things happen. </p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>"Worthless people are like thorns.

He used a spear to kill 800 men on one occasion. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Next in rank to him was Eleazar, another one of the three fighting men. He was the son of Dodo and grandson of Aho. Eleazar was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. When the soldiers from Israel retreated, <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>he attacked and killed Philistines until his hand got tired and stuck to his sword. So the LORD won an impressive victory that day. The army returned to Eleazar, but they only returned to strip the dead.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Next in rank to him was Shammah, the son of Agee from Harar. The Philistines had gathered at Lehi, where there was a field of ripe lentils. When the troops fled from the Philistines, <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>he stood in the middle of the field and defended it by killing Philistines. So the LORD won an impressive victory.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>At harvest time three of the thirty leading men came to David at the cave of Adullam when a troop from the Philistine army was camping in the valley of Rephaim. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>While David was in the fortified camp, Philistine troops were at Bethlehem. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>When David became thirsty, he said, "I wish I could have a drink of water from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem." <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/23-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>So the three fighting men burst into the Philistine camp and drew water from the well. They brought it to David, but he refused to drink it.

This is the blood of men who risked their lives!" So he refused to drink it.
