Are not the Abanah and
Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the
waters of Israel? Could I not have washed in them and been
cleansed?” So he turned and went away in a
rage.
But as one was felling a beam, the
axe head fell into the
water: and he
cried, and said,
Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron
axe head fell into the
water. “Oh, my master,” he
cried out, “it was borrowed!”
And he answered, Thou shalt not
smite them: wouldest thou
smite those whom thou hast taken
captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and
water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
“Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
And it came to pass on the
morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and
dipped it in
water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and
Hazael reigned in his
stead.

dipped it in
water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-
hadad died, and
Hazael reigned in his place.
Hearken not to
Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the
waters of his
cistern:
Do not
listen to
Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink
water from his own
cistern,
I have
digged and
drunk strange
waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
I have
dug wells and
drunk foreign
waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
And the rest of the acts of
Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a
pool, and a
conduit, and brought
water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the
water of the well of
Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
David longed for
water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of
water from the well near the gate of
Bethlehem!”
And the three
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: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,

So they came up to
Baal-perazim; and David
smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of
waters: therefore they called the name of that place
Baal-perazim.

Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a
bursting flood, God has
burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place
Baal-perazim.
And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of
affliction and with
water of
affliction, until I return in peace.
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.
he consulted with his leaders and commanders about
stopping up the
waters of the springs outside the city, and they helped him carry it out.
So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the
brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much
water?
Many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find

Then
Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink
water: for he
mourned because of the
transgression of them that had been carried away.
Then
Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and walked to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. And while he stayed there, he
ate no food and
drank no

mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
Moreover the
Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the
water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out.
