David longed for water and said,“ Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the Lord.“ God forbid that I should do this!” he said.“ Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it.
