Verse 17 is found in chapter 11 of 1 Chronicles. David’s mighty men are presented as men who strengthened his kingdom. The episode of the three warriors who risk their lives to obtain water from Bethlehem demonstrates their personal loyalty to the king. David, however, refuses to drink it and pours it out before God, interpreting the water as something obtained at the cost of his men’s lives.
