David pours out to the LORD the water the three drew from the well of Bethlehem by the gate

이 세 사람이 길어온 베들레헴 성문 곁 우물 물을 다윗이 여호와께 부어드림

1 Chronicles 11:15–19: three of the thirty chief men go down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines are encamped in the valley of Rephaim. David is then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines is in Bethlehem at that time. David longs, and says, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” The three break through the army of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, take it, and bring it to David; but David will not drink any of it, but pours it out to the LORD, and says, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” The text goes on, “For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.” Neither edition names the three. The Korean Revised Version has the risk inside David’s question (생명을 돌아보지 아니하고 갔던 사람들의 피를 어찌 마시리이까, how shall I drink the blood of the men who went without regard for their lives?), and no sentence for “For they risked their lives to bring it.”
