1 Paralipomenon 11:18

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Tres ergo isti per media castra Philisthinorum perrexerunt, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem quæ erat in porta, et attulerunt ad David ut biberet. Qui noluit, sed magis libavit illam Domino,
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ διέρρηξαν οἱ τρεῖς τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ, ὃς ἦν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἔλαβον πρὸς Δαυείδ, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν Δαυεὶδ τοῦ πιεῖν αὐτό· καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ κυρίῳ
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּבְקְע֨וּ הַשְּׁלֹשָׁ֜ה בְּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ מַ֨יִם֙ מִבּ֤וֹר בֵּֽית לֶ֨חֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּשַּׁ֔עַר וַיִּשְׂא֖וּ וַיָּבִ֣אוּ אֶל דָּוִ֑יד וְלֹֽא אָבָ֤ה דָוִיד֙ לִשְׁתּוֹתָ֔ם וַיְנַסֵּ֥ךְ אֹתָ֖ם לַיהוָֽה

Haydock's commentary

These. Hebrew, "The three (or perhaps, three of the mighty men) brake through the host of the Philistines....by the gate, and took, and brought it to David. But David would not drink it; and he poured it out unto the Lord," by way of prayer, (Kennicott) or of thanksgiving. (Josephus)
