John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 11:19

Shall I drink the blood, &c. — It put him into the utmost confusion, to think three brave men should hazard their lives, to fetch water for him. In his account, it turns the water into blood. It is to the honour of great men, not to be prodigal of the blood of those they employ.

(e) That is, this water, for which they risked their lives.
