1 Chronicles 11:16

David’s Mighty Men

15Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.16At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.17David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
