¹³ And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

¹ And David goeth thence, and is escaped unto the cave of Adullam, and his brethren hear, and all the house of his father, and go down unto him thither;

¹⁸ and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁵ The king of Libnah, one; The king of Adullam, one;

³⁵ Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,

²² And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁵ And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁶ and David `is' then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines `is' then in Beth-Lehem,

¹⁷ and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that `is' at the gate!'

¹⁸ And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that `is' at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

¹⁹ and saith, `Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink it; these `things' did the three mighty ones.

⁹ And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,

⁵ And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁵ Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.
