NASB
"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!""
— 2 Samuel 23:15, NASB
“And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth–lehem, which is by 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 gate!””
“And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate.”
“And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of 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, which is by the gate!”
But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, defended it and struck the Philistines; and the LORD brought about a great victory.
Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, while the troop 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 mighty men 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 he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;
and he said, "Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. And he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name as well as the three.
