2 Samuel 23:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ And David longed, and said, “Oh, that one would give me a drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!”

¹⁶ Then the three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took and brought it to David, who would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,

¹⁷ and said, “O LORD! Far be it from me that I should do this! Is not this the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore, he would not drink it. These things these three mighty men did.
