In context
7For after David had been attacking the Philistines the whole day, he with the soldiers of his nation slew many of them;
8then when evening came, sweating and very weary, he came to the royal tent, about which the entire host of our ancestors was encamped.
— 4 Maccabees 3:9 —
10but the king, being very much athirst, although he had numerous springs, could not by their means quench his thirst;
11but a certain irrational longing for the water in the enemy’s camp grew stronger and fiercer upon him, and consumed him with languish.
