2 Samuel 23:14-17

14And DavidH1732 was then in an holdH4686, and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in Beth–lehemH1035.

15And DavidH1732 longedH183, and saidH559, Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of Beth–lehemH1035, which is by the gateH8179!

16And the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 brake throughH1234 the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of Beth–lehemH1035, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: nevertheless he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it outH5258 unto YhwhH3068.

17And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from me, O YhwhH3068, that I should doH6213 this: is not this the bloodH1818 of the menH582 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These things didH6213 these threeH7969 mighty menH1368.
