2 Samuel 23:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ At that time David was in a protected place. And some of the Philistine soldiers were in Bethlehem.

¹⁵ David had a strong desire for some water. He said, “Oh, I wish someone would get me water from the well near the city gate of Bethlehem!” ¹⁶ So the three warriors broke through the Philistine army. They took water out of the well near the city gate of Bethlehem. Then they took it to David. But he refused to drink it. He poured it out on the ground before the Lord.
