2 Samuel 23:16
And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
KJV
Irruperunt ergo tres fortes castra Philisthinorum, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ erat juxta portam, et attulerunt ad David : at ille noluit bibere, sed libavit eam Domino,
Vulgate
καὶ διέρρηξαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοὶ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἔλαβαν καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Δαυείδ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν πιεῖν αὐτό· καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ κυρίῳ
LXX
And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah.
