And David longed and said, "Oh that one would give me of the water of the well of Bethlehem that is in the gate, for to drink."

And the three brake through the host of the Philistines and drew of the water of the well of Bethlehem that was in the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless David would not drink of it, but offered it to the LORD,

weaponed with bows, and could handle stones, arrows and bow as well with the left hand as with the right, and were of Saul's brethren, even of the tribe of Benjamin.

And they put them in order by lot, one with another that there should be rulers in the sanctuary and lords before God as well of the sons of Ithamar as of the sons of Eleazar.

And these cast lots next to their brethren the sons of Aaron, before David the king and Zadok and Ahimelech and the ancient heads and priests of the Levites: as well the youngest brother as an ancient head.

And they cast Lots indifferently how they should wait: the small as well as the great, the scholar as well as the schoolmaster.

And they cast lots: the small as well as the great in the households of their fathers, from gate to gate.
