2 Samuel 23:14-15
stronghold <04686> [an hold.]
garrison <04673> [garrison.]
thirsty <0183> [longed.]
Bethlehem <01035> [Bethlehem.]
Bethlehem signifies the "house of bread," and the place was likewise noted for excellent water. There Christ was born, who is the "bread of life," and who also gives us the "water of life." "The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
