1 Chronicles 11:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ David really wanted some water. He said, “I wish someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” ¹⁸ So the three mighty warriors fought their way past the Philistine guards. They got some water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem. They took the water back to David. But David refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as a drink offering to the Lord. ¹⁹ “I would never drink that water!” David said. “It would be like drinking the blood of these men. They put their lives in danger by going to Bethlehem.” The men had put their lives in danger by bringing the water back. So David wouldn’t drink it.

Those were some of the brave things the three mighty warriors did.
