10. He[H1931] arose,[H6965] and smote[H5221] the Philistines[H6430] until[H5704] [H3588] his hand[H3027] was weary,[H3021] and his hand[H3027] cleaved[H1692] unto[H413] the sword:[H2719] and the LORD[H3068] wrought[H6213] a great[H1419] victory[H8668] that[H1931] day;[H3117] and the people[H5971] returned[H7725] after[H310] him only[H389] to spoil.[H6584]

12. But he stood[H3320] in the midst[H8432] of the ground,[H2513] and defended[H5337] it, and slew[H5221] [H853] the Philistines:[H6430] and the LORD[H3068] wrought[H6213] a great[H1419] victory.[H8668]
13. And three[H7969] of the thirty[H7970] chief[H7218] went down,[H3381] and came[H935] to[H413] David[H1732] in[H413] the harvest time[H7105] unto[H413] the cave[H4631] of Adullam:[H5725] and the troop[H2416] of the Philistines[H6430] pitched[H2583] in the valley[H6010] of Rephaim.[H7497]
14. And David[H1732] was then[H227] in a hold,[H4686] and the garrison[H4673] of the Philistines[H6430] was then[H227] in Bethlehem.[H1035]

17. And he said,[H559] Be it far[H2486] from me, O LORD,[H3068] that I should do[H4480] [H6213] this:[H2063] is not this the blood[H1818] of the men[H376] that went[H1980] in jeopardy of their lives?[H5315] therefore he would[H14] not[H3808] drink[H8354] it.
