1 Samuel 30:9-12

9So David and his 600 men went to the Besor Valley, where some were left behind.

10David and 400 men went in pursuit, while 200 men who were too exhausted to cross the Besor Valley stayed behind.

11David’s men found an Egyptian in the open country and took him to David. They gave him food to eat and water to drink.

12They gave him a slice of fig cake and two bunches of raisins. After he had eaten, he revived. (He hadn’t eaten any food or drunk any water for three whole days.)
