But David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD, 19 And said, My God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men who have risked their lives? For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore, he would not drink it. These things were done by these three mighty men. 20 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three.
