4 Maccabees 3:14

14 and found the spring, and from it boldly brought the king a drink.

4 Maccabees 3:14 In-Context

12 When his guards complained bitterly because of the king's craving, two staunch young soldiers, respecting the king's desire, armed themselves fully, and taking a pitcher climbed over the enemy's ramparts.
13 Eluding the sentinels at the gates, they went searching throughout the enemy camp
14 and found the spring, and from it boldly brought the king a drink.
15 But David, though he was burning with thirst, considered it an altogether fearful danger to his soul to drink what was regarded as equivalent to blood.
16 Therefore, opposing reason to desire, he poured out the drink as an offering to God.
