*
David was then in the stronghold ,
and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem .
*
And David said with longing , "
Oh ,
that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem ,
which is by the gate !"
*
So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines ,
drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate ,
and took it and brought it to David .
Nevertheless David would not drink it ,
but poured it out to the LORD .
*
And he said , "
Far be it from me ,
O my God ,
that I should do this !
Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy ?
For at the risk of their lives they brought it ."
Therefore he would not drink it .
These things were done by the three mighty men .
