1SA-30:1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come
to Ziklag on
the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and
Ziklag, and
smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
1SA-30:2 And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein:
they slew not
any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on
their way.
1SA-30:3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold,
[it was] burned
with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters,
were taken
captives.
1SA-30:4 Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted
up their voice
and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
1SA-30:5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the
Jezreelitess,
and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
1SA-30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake
of stoning
him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man
for his sons
and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD
his God.
1SA-30:7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son,
I pray thee,
bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the
ephod to David.
1SA-30:8 And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue
after this
troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for
thou shalt
surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
1SA-30:9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were]
with him, and
came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind
stayed.
1SA-30:10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two
hundred abode
behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the
brook Besor.
1SA-30:11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought
him to David,
and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink
water;
1SA-30:12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two
clusters of
raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him:
for he had eaten
no bread, nor drunk [any] water, three days and three nights.
1SA-30:13 And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou?
and whence [art]
thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an
Amalekite; and
my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
1SA-30:14 We made an invasion [upon] the south of the
Cherethites, and upon
[the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of
Caleb; and we
burned Ziklag with fire.
1SA-30:15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to
this company?
And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill
me, nor deliver
me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to
this company.
1SA-30:16 And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were]
spread abroad
upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of
all the great
spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines,
and out of the
land of Judah.
1SA-30:17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the
evening of the
next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred
young men,
which rode upon camels, and fled.
