2 Samuel 23:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ and he was very thirsty. He said, “I wish I had a drink from the well by the gate at Bethlehem.”

¹⁶ The Three Warriors^[a] sneaked into the Philistine camp and got some water from the well near Bethlehem's gate. But after they brought the water back to David, he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as a sacrifice ¹⁷ and said to the Lord, “I can't drink this water! It's like the blood of these men who risked their lives to get it for me.”

The Three Warriors did these brave deeds.
