1 Chronicles 11:17 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11
15 Trois des trente chefs descendirent auprès de David sur le rocher dans la caverne d’Adullam, lorsque le camp des Philistins était dressé dans la vallée des Rephaïm.
16 David était alors dans la forteresse, et il y avait un poste de Philistins à Bethléhem.
17 David eut un désir, et il dit: Qui me fera boire de l’eau de la citerne qui est à la porte de Bethléhem?
18 Alors les trois hommes passèrent au travers du camp des Philistins, et puisèrent de l’eau de la citerne qui est à la porte de Bethléhem. Ils l’apportèrent et la présentèrent à David; mais David ne voulut pas la boire, et il la répandit devant l’Éternel.
19 Il dit: Que mon Dieu me garde de faire cela! Boirais-je le sang de ces hommes qui sont allés au péril de leur vie? Car c’est au péril de leur vie qu’ils l’ont apportée. Et il ne voulut pas la boire. Voilà ce que firent ces trois vaillants hommes.
