2 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 2 Samuel 23:13 The three men remembered in these verses were apparently not the “three” of vv. 2 Samuel 23:8 but rather members of the “thirty” listed in vv. 2 Samuel 23:18. This episode may have occurred while David was fleeing Saul, or possibly during one of the Philistine attacks in 2 Samuel 5:17. Oh, that someone would give me water... from the well of Bethlehem. David’s words are not a command. It probably did not occur to him that someone might actually act on his words.
