1 Samuel 30:6-15

6And DavidH1732 was greatlyH3966 distressedH3334; for the peopleH5971 spakeH559 of stoningH5619 him, because the soulH5315 of all the peopleH5971 was grievedH4843, every manH376 for his sonsH1121 and for his daughtersH1323: but DavidH1732 encouragedH2388 himself in YhwhH3068 his GodH430.1 7And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Ahimelech’sH288 sonH1121, I pray thee, bring me hitherH5066 the ephodH646. And AbiatharH54 broughtH5066 thither the ephodH646 to DavidH1732. 8And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 at YhwhH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291 afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answeredH559 him, PursueH7291: for thou shalt surelyH5381 overtakeH5381 them, and without failH5337 recoverH5337 all. 9So DavidH1732 wentH3212, he and the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, and cameH935 to the brookH5158 BesorH1308, where those that were left behindH3498 stayedH5975. 10But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291, he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376: for two hundredH3967 abode behindH5975, which were so faintH6296 that they could not go overH5674 the brookH5158 BesorH1308.

11And they foundH4672 an EgyptianH4713H376 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH3947 him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 him breadH3899, and he did eatH398; and they made him drinkH8248 waterH4325; 12And they gaveH5414 him a pieceH6400 of a cakeH1690 of figs, and twoH8147 clusters of raisinsH6778: and when he had eatenH398, his spiritH7307 came againH7725 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 young manH5288 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH6003H376; and my masterH113 leftH5800 me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 agone I fell sickH2470. 14We made an invasionH6584 upon the southH5045 of the CherethitesH3774, and upon the coast which belongeth to JudahH3063, and upon the southH5045 of CalebH3612; and we burnedH8313 ZiklagH6860 with fireH784. 15And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Canst thou bring me downH3381 to this companyH1416? And he saidH559, SwearH7650 unto me by GodH430, that thou wilt neither killH4191 me, norH518 deliverH5462 me into the handsH3027 of my masterH113, and I will bring thee downH3381 to this companyH1416.
