1 Samuel25:11

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water , and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men whom I know not whence they be?

He speaketh thus, either because in those hot and dry parts Water was scarce and precious: or, Water is here put for any kind of Drink, as Bread is oft taken for all sorts of Meat.

Marginal references: Heb. slaughter.
