13. At harvest time three of the thirty leading men came to David at the cave of Adullam when a troop from the Philistine army was camping in the valley of Rephaim.
14. While David was in the fortified camp, Philistine troops were at Bethlehem.
15. When David became thirsty, he said, “I wish I could have a drink of water from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem.”
16. So the three fighting men burst into the Philistine camp and drew water from the well. They brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. He poured it out ⌊as an offering⌋ to the Lord and said,
17. “It’s unthinkable that I would do this, Lord. This is the blood of men who risked their lives!” So he refused to drink it.These are the things which the three fighting men did.
