1 Chronicles 11:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ And David longed and said, “Oh that one would give me a drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem that is at the gate!”

¹⁸ And the three 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. But David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the Lord

¹⁹ and said, “My God forbid me that I should do this thing! Shall I drink the blood of these men, who have put their lives in jeopardy? For with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
