וַיִּבְקְע֨וּ הַשְּׁלֹשָׁ֜ה בְּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ־מַ֙יִם֙ מִבּ֤וֹר בֵּֽית־לֶ֙חֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּשַּׁ֔עַר וַיִּשְׂא֖וּ וַיָּבִ֣אוּ אֶל־דָּוִ֑יד וְלֹֽא־אָבָ֤ה דָוִיד֙ לִשְׁתּוֹתָ֔ם וַיְנַסֵּ֥ךְ אֹתָ֖ם לַיהוָֽה׃
E i tre prodi irruppero nel campo dei Filistei, attinsero acqua dal pozzo di Betlemme che è presso la porta, la presero e la portarono a Davide; ma Davide non volle berla, e la versò al Signore.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
One verse says, he made a libation for the Eternal, but another verse says, he covered. He who says ויסך, supports Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba165He does not read the masoretic וַיַּסֵּךְ from the root נסך “to pour, offer a libation” but וַיָּֽסֶךְ, root סכך “to cover”.. He who says, he made a libation, supports Bar Qappara. Rebbi Huna in the name of Rebbi Yose: He had a problem with the rules of captives166Probably what is the prerogative of the king in appropriating female prisoners of war. Rabbinic theory explains that Tamar was not David’s daughter but the daughter of David’s wife Maˋakha from the time before the latter was taken prisoner by David and forcibly converted by the rules of Deut. 21:10–14 (Babli 21a); therefore, she was unrelated to Amnon who could have married her under rabbinic rules.. Rebbi Simeon ben Rebbi said, he desired to build the Temple167It is unclear to what this may refer, but in any case it would be a case for the Sages of Bethlehem before the capture of Jerusalem.
