2 Samuel 23:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ David grew homesick and said, “How I wish someone would bring me a drink of water from the well by the gate at Bethlehem!” ¹⁶ The three famous soldiers forced their way through the Philistine camp, drew some water from the well, and brought it back to David. But he would not drink it; instead he poured it out as an offering to the Lord ¹⁷ and said, “Lord, I could never drink this! It would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives!” So he refused to drink it.

Those were the brave deeds of the three famous soldiers.
