David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem — And David said with longing, Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate! — David, besieged in his stronghold, expressed a longing for water from his hometown's well. The desire is nostalgic, for the familiar taste of home.
