2 Samuel 23:15-17

21st Century King James Version

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

¹⁶ And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.

¹⁷ And he said, “Be it far from me, O Lord, 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 did these three mighty men.
