An Act of Valor and Sacrifice

2 Samuel 23:13-17

During harvest season three of the thirty leaders went down and came to David at the cave of 'Adulam when a company of P'lishtim had set up camp in the Refa'im Valley.

At that time David was in the fortress, and the garrison of the P'lishtim was in Beit-Lechem

David had a craving and said, "I wish someone could give me water to drink from the well by the gate of Beit-Lechem!"

The three warrior-heroes broke through the army of the P'lishtim, drew water from the well by the gate of Beit-Lechem, took it and brought it to David. But he wouldn't drink it. Instead, he poured it out to ADONAI

and said, "ADONAI! Heaven forbid that I should do such a thing! Am I to drink the blood of men who went and put their lives in jeopardy?"- and he would not consent to drink it. These are the things the three warrior-heroes did.
