1 Samuel 30:11-15

11David's men found an Egyptian man in a field. They took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and food to eat.

12They gave him some dried figs and some raisins. Then he became stronger, because he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days.

13David asked the man, ‘Who is your master? Where do you come from?’ The young man answered, ‘I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite man. My master left me here three days ago because I was ill.

14We had attacked the south part of Judah, where the Kerethites live. We also attacked the land where the people of Caleb's clan live. We destroyed Ziklag with fire too.’

15David said to him, ‘Can you take me to find these men?’ The man said, ‘Please promise me in God's name that you will not kill me. Promise me that you will not take me back to my master. If you do that, I will lead you to find them.’
