Overhearing him, some of his most fearless men who loved David decided that they would take the risk to bring him water from Bethlehem. In a cloak-and-dagger operation they succeeded in creeping behind the Philistine lines, drawing the water, and getting out again.When they presented David with a container filled with water from the well in Bethlehem, he was surprised and deeply touched. This was when he made a very surprising decision.

As he raised the cup to his lips to drink, he stopped. Suddenly, he realized what an extremely selfish act it was to jeopardize even inadvertently the lives of these brave and loyal men just so that he could get momentary pleasure from that hometown taste. He gradually lowered the cup and then poured the water onto the ground, saying, “‘Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this! . . . Is it not the blood of men who went at the risk of their lives?’ And David would not drink it” (2 Samuel 23:17).
