13 E três dos trinta principais desceram e vieram em tempo da colheita a Davi à cova de Adulão: e o acampamento dos filisteus estava no vale de Refaim.

14 Davi então estava na fortaleza, e a guarnição dos filisteus estava em Belém.

15 E Davi teve desejo, e disse: Quem me dera a beber da água da cisterna de Belém, que está à porta!

16 Então os três valentes irromperam pelo acampamento dos filisteus, e tiraram água da cisterna de Belém, que estava à porta; e tomaram, e trouxeram-na a Davi: mas ele não a quis beber, mas derramou-a ao SENHOR, dizendo:

17 Longe seja de mim, ó SENHOR, que eu faça isto. Eis de beber eu o sangue dos homens que foram com perigo de sua vida? E não quis bebê-la. Os três valentes fizeram isto.
