David pours out to the LORD the water the three mighty men drew from the well of Bethlehem

세 용사가 길어 온 베들레헴 우물 물을 다윗이 여호와께 부어 드림

2 Samuel 23:13–17: three of the thirty chief men go down, and come to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines is encamped in the valley of Rephaim. David is then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines is then in Bethlehem. David says longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” The three mighty men break through the army of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and take it and bring it to David; but he will not drink of it, but pours it out to the LORD. He says, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he will not drink it. The text says, “The three mighty men did these things.”
