1 Samuel 30:8-23

8And DavidH1732 inquired of Jehovah, sayingH559, If I pursueH7291 after this troopH1416, shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answered him, PursueH7291; for thou shalt surely overtakeH5381 them, and shalt without fail recover all. 9So DavidH1732 wentH935, he and the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, and cameH935 to the brook BesorH1308, whereH834 those that were leftH3498 behind stayed. 10But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291, he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376; for twoH3967 hundredH3967 stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook BesorH1308.

11And they foundH4672 an EgyptianH4713 in the fieldH7704, and brought him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 him breadH3899, and he did eatH398; and they gaveH5414 him waterH4325 to drinkH8248; 12and they gaveH5414 him a piece of a cakeH1690 of figsH1690, and twoH8147 clusters of raisinsH6778: and when he had eatenH398, his spiritH7307 came again to him; for he had eatenH398 no breadH3899, nor drunkH8354 any waterH4325, threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915. 13And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saidH559, I am a youngH5288 manH376 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH6003; and my masterH113 leftH5800 me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 ago I fell sickH2470. 14We madeH6584 a raidH6584 upon the SouthH5045 of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to JudahH3063, and upon the SouthH5045 of CalebH3612; and we burnedH8313 ZiklagH6860 with fireH784. 15And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Wilt thou bringH3381 me downH3381 to this troopH1416? And he saidH559, SwearH7650 unto me by GodH430, that thou wilt neither killH4191 me, nor deliverH5462 me up into the handsH3027 of my masterH113, and I will bringH3381 thee downH3381 to this troopH1416.

16And whenH834 he had brought him downH3381, behold, they were spreadH5203 abroad over all the groundH776, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and dancing, because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947 out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the landH776 of JudahH3063. 17And DavidH1732 smote them from the twilight even unto the eveningH6153 of the nextH4283 dayH4283: and there escapedH4422 not a manH376 of them, saveH4422 fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5288 menH376, who rodeH7392 upon camelsH1581 and fledH5127. 18And DavidH1732 recovered all that the Amalekites had takenH3947; and DavidH1732 rescuedH5337 his twoH8147 wivesH802. 19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither smallH6996 nor greatH1419, neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, neither spoilH7998, nor anything that they had takenH3947 to them: DavidH1732 broughtH7725 backH7725 all. 20And DavidH1732 tookH3947 all the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241, which they drove before those other cattleH1241, and saidH559, This is David’s spoilH7998.

21And DavidH1732 cameH935 to the two hundredH3967 menH376, who were so faint that they could not follow DavidH1732, whom also they had made to abide at the brook BesorH1308; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 to meetH7122 DavidH1732, and to meetH7122 the peopleH5971 that were with him: and whenH834 DavidH1732 cameH935 near to the peopleH5971, he saluted them. 22Then answered all the wickedH7451 menH376 and base fellows, of those that wentH1980 with DavidH1732, and saidH559, Because they wentH1980 not with us, we will not giveH5414 them aught of the spoilH7998 that we have recovered, save to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart. 23Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Ye shall not do soH3651, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath givenH5414 unto us, who hath preservedH8104 us, and delivered the troopH1416 that cameH935 against us into our handH3027.
