2 Samuel 23:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ David was extremely thirsty^[a] and said, “If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!” ¹⁶ So three of the warriors broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord. ¹⁷ David said, “Lord, I would never do such a thing! Is this not the blood of men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.
