Eleazar, as part of the Three, broke through Philistine lines in Bethlehem to get a drink for David from a well near the gate while they were encamped in the Cave of Adullam, but David poured the water out as a drink offering to Yahweh, saying, " Is it not the blood of men who went at the risk of their lives ?"

John Bright, speaking on the second reading ( 13 March 1866 ), ascribed Mr . Lowe's hostility to Horsman's influence, and depicted Horsman retiring into what may be called his political cave of Adullam, to which he invited every one who was in distress, and every one who was discontented .
