genesis 24:14 and let it come to pass that the damsel to whom i shall say let down thy pitcher i pray thee that i may drink and she shall say drink and i will give thy camels drink also let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant isaac and thereby shall i know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master

The reason "Drink" has a capital "D", has to do with grammar. In the Bible,in the King James Version, there are not quotation marks around what someone says. If something someone says does not have quotation marks, they capitalized the first word of the quote. If you look at the New American Standard Bible, a more recent version, there are quotations.
