2 Samuel 23:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem by the gate, and carried and brought it to David. But he would not drink it, but poured it out [in worship] to the Lord. ¹⁷ And he said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should drink this. [Is it not the same as] the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he would not drink it. These things the ^[a]three mighty men did.

¹⁸ Now Abishai the brother of Joab the son of Zeruiah was chief of the ^[b]thirty. He wielded his spear against three hundred men and killed them, and gained a reputation beside the three.
