1 Samuel 30:8-23
8And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291H310 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 remainedH5975. 10But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291, he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376: for two hundredH3967 abode behindH5975, who were so faintH6296 that they could not go overH5674 the brookH5158 BesorH1308. 11And they foundH4672 an EgyptianH376H4713 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH3947 him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 him breadH3899, and he ateH398; 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 to him, To whom belongest thou? and from where art thou? And he saidH559, I am a young manH5288 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH376H6003; and my masterH113 leftH5800 me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 ago I fell sickH2470. 14We made an invasionH6584 upon the southH5045 of the CherethitesH3774, and upon the land 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 to 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. 16And when he had brought him downH3381, behold, they were spread abroadH5203 upon allH6440 the earthH776, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and dancingH2287, because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947 from the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and from the landH776 of JudahH3063. 17And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 them from the twilightH5399 even to the eveningH6153 of the next dayH4283: and there escapedH4422 not a manH376 of them, except fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5288 menH376, who rodeH7392 upon camelsH1581, and fledH5127.1 18And DavidH1732 recoveredH5337 all that the AmalekitesH6002 had carried awayH3947: and DavidH1732 rescuedH5337 his twoH8147 wivesH802. 19And there was nothing lackingH5737 to them, neitherH4480 smallH6996 nor greatH1419, neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, neither spoilH7998, nor any thing that they had takenH3947 to them: DavidH1732 recoveredH7725 all. 20And DavidH1732 tookH3947 all the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241, which they droveH5090 beforeH6440 thoseH1931 other cattleH4735, and saidH559, This is David’sH1732 spoilH7998.
21And DavidH1732 cameH935 to the two hundredH3967 menH582, who were so faintH6296 that they could not followH3212H310 DavidH1732, whom they had made also to abideH3427 at the brookH5158 BesorH1308: and they went forthH3318 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, and to meetH7125 the peopleH5971 that were with him: and when DavidH1732 came nearH5066 to the peopleH5971, he greetedH7592H7965 them.2 22Then answeredH6030 all the wickedH7451 and worthlessH1100 menH376, of thoseH582 that wentH1980 with DavidH1732, and saidH559, Because they wentH1980 not with us, we will not giveH5414 them any of the spoilH7998 that we have recoveredH5337, except to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his childrenH1121, that they may lead them awayH5090, and departH3212.3 23Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Ye shall not do soH6213, my brethrenH251, with that which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 us, who hath preservedH8104 us, and deliveredH5414 the companyH1416 that cameH935 against us into our handH3027.
