14 and David is then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines is then in Beth-Lehem, 15 and David longeth and saith, 'Who doth give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which is by the gate?' 16 And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which is by the gate, and take it up, and bring in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah, 17 and saith, 'Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?' and he was not willing to drink it; these things did the three mighty ones. 2 Samuel 23:14-17, Young's Literal Translation.
