1 Chronicles 11:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And David longed, and said, (A)Oh, that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem that is at the gate.
18 Then these three brake 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: but David would not drink of it, but poured it for an oblation to the Lord,
19 And said, Let not my God suffer me to do this: should I drink the [a]blood of these men’s lives? for they have brought it with the jeopardy of their lives: therefore he would not drink it: these things did these three mighty men.
