15 E três dos trinta comandantes desceram a Davi, na rocha junto à caverna de Adulão, enquanto o acampamento dos filisteus estava no vale de Refaim.

16 E Davi estava então na fortaleza, enquanto havia uma tropa de filisteus em Belém.

17 Davi teve um desejo, e disse: Quem me dera beber da água do poço de Belém, que está junto à porta!

18 E aqueles três irromperam pelo acampamento dos filisteus, e tiraram água do poço de Belém, que está junto à porta, tomaram dela, e a trouxeram a Davi. Davi, porém não a quis beber; em vez disso, derramou-a ao SENHOR,

19 E disse: Deus me proíba de fazer isto! Beberia eu o sangue destes homens com suas vidas? Pois eles arriscaram suas vidas para a trazerem.Por isso ele não a quis beber. Isto fizeram aqueles três guerreiros.
