"David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!""
— 1 Chronicles 11:17, NASB
“And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth–lehem, that is at the gate!”
“And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate! ”
“David longed, and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"”
“David was thirsty and said,“How I wish someone would give me some water to drink from the cistern in Bethlehem near the city gate!””
“And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.”
“And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem by the doorway into the town!”
“And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth–lehem, that is at the gate!”
They took their stand in the midst of the plot and defended it, and struck down the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.
David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"
So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which 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, "Be it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
As for Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them; and he had a name as well as the thirty.
