1 Chronicles 11:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ David expressed this desire: “Who will give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem inside the gate?” ¹⁸ The Three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well^[a] of Bethlehem inside the gate. They took it and brought it to David. However, David was not willing to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord. ¹⁹ He said, “I should be cursed by God if I did that. Shall I drink the blood of these men? They risked their lives to bring it to me.” He was not willing to drink it. The three elite warriors carried out these actions.
