1 Samuel 30:1 And it came to pass, when David1732 and his men582 were come935 to Ziklag6860 on the third7992 day,3117 that the Amalekites6003 had invaded6584 the south,5045 and Ziklag,6860 and smitten5221 Ziklag,6860 and burned8313 it with fire;784 cr 2 And had taken the women802 captives,7617 that were therein: they slew4191 not any,376 either great1419 or small,6996 but carried them away,5090 and went3212 on their way.1870 cr

1 Samuel 30:3 So David1732 and his men582 came935 to the city,5892 and, behold, it was burned8313 with fire;784 and their wives,802 and their sons,1121 and their daughters,1323 were taken captives.7617 cr 4 Then David1732 and the people5971 that were with him lifted up5375 their voice6963 and wept,1058 until they had no more power3581 to weep.1058 cr 5 And David's1732 two8147 wives802 were taken captives,7617 Ahinoam293 the Jezreelitess,3159 and Abigail26 the wife802 of Nabal5037 the Carmelite.3761 cr 6 And David1732 was greatly3966 distressed;3334 for the people5971 spake559 of stoning5619 him, because the soul5315 of all the people5971 was grieved,4843{Heb. bitter} every man376 for his sons1121 and for his daughters:1323 but David1732 encouraged2388 himself in the LORD3068 his God.430 cr 7 And David1732 said559 to Abiathar54 the priest,3548 Ahimelech's288 son,1121 I pray thee, bring me hither5066 the ephod.646 And Abiathar54 brought5066 thither the ephod646 to David.1732 cr 8 And David1732 enquired7592 at the LORD,3068 saying,559 Shall I pursue7291 after310 this troop?1416 shall I overtake5381 them? And he answered559 him, Pursue:7291 for thou shalt surely5381 overtake5381 them, and without fail5337 recover5337 all. cr 9 So David1732 went,3212 he and the six8337 hundred3967 men376 that were with him, and came935 to the brook5158 Besor,1308 where those that were left behind3498 stayed.5975 cr 10 But David1732 pursued,7291 he and four702 hundred3967 men:376 for two hundred3967 abode behind,5975 which were so faint6296 that they could not go over5674 the brook5158 Besor.1308 cr

1 Samuel 30:11 And they found4672 an Egyptian376 4713 in the field,7704 and brought3947 him to David,1732 and gave5414 him bread,3899 and he did eat;398 and they made him drink8248 water;4325 cr 12 And they gave5414 him a piece6400 of a cake1690 of figs, and two8147 clusters of raisins:6778 and when he had eaten,398 his spirit7307 came again7725 to him: for he had eaten398 no bread,3899 nor drunk8354 any water,4325 three7969 days3117 and three7969 nights.3915 cr 13 And David1732 said559 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said,559 I am a young man5288 of Egypt,4713 servant5650 to an Amalekite;376 6003 and my master113 left5800 me, because three7969 days3117 agone I fell sick.2470 cr 14 We made an invasion6584 upon the south5045 of the Cherethites,3774 and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah,3063 and upon the south5045 of Caleb;3612 and we burned8313 Ziklag6860 with fire.784 cr 15 And David1732 said559 to him, Canst thou bring me down3381 to this company?1416 And he said,559 Swear7650 unto me by God,430 that thou wilt neither kill4191 me, nor518 deliver5462 me into the hands3027 of my master,113 and I will bring thee down3381 to this company.1416 cr

1 Samuel 30:16 And when he had brought him down,3381 behold, they were spread abroad5203 upon all6440 the earth,776 eating398 and drinking,8354 and dancing,2287 because of all the great1419 spoil7998 that they had taken3947 out of the land776 of the Philistines,6430 and out of the land776 of Judah.3063 cr 17 And David1732 smote5221 them from the twilight5399 even unto the evening6153 of the next day:4283{Heb. their morrow} and there escaped4422 not a man376 of them, save four702 hundred3967 young5288 men,376 which rode7392 upon camels,1581 and fled.5127 cr 18 And David1732 recovered5337 all that the Amalekites6002 had carried away:3947 and David1732 rescued5337 his two8147 wives.802 cr 19 And there was nothing lacking5737 to them, neither4480 small6996 nor great,1419 neither sons1121 nor daughters,1323 neither spoil,7998 nor any thing that they had taken3947 to them: David1732 recovered7725 all. cr 20 And David1732 took3947 all the flocks6629 and the herds,1241 which they drave5090 before6440 those1931 other cattle,4735 and said,559 This is David's1732 spoil.7998 cr

1 Samuel 30:21 And David1732 came935 to the two hundred3967 men,582 which were so faint6296 that they could not follow3212 310 David,1732 whom they had made also to abide3427 at the brook5158 Besor:1308 and they went forth3318 to meet7125 David,1732 and to meet7125 the people5971 that were with him: and when David1732 came near5066 to the people,5971 he saluted7592 7965 them.{Or, asked them how they did} cr 22 Then answered6030 all the wicked7451 men376 and men of Belial,1100 of those582{Heb. men} that went1980 with David,1732 and said,559 Because they went1980 not with us, we will not give5414 them ought of the spoil7998 that we have recovered,5337 save to every man376 his wife802 and his children,1121 that they may lead them away,5090 and depart.3212 cr 23 Then said559 David,1732 Ye shall not do so,6213 my brethren,251 with that which the LORD3068 hath given5414 us, who hath preserved8104 us, and delivered5414 the company1416 that came935 against us into our hand.3027 cr 24 For who will hearken8085 unto you in this matter?1697 but as his part2506 is that goeth down3381 3381 to the battle,4421 so shall his part2506 be that tarrieth3427 by the stuff:3627 they shall part2505 alike.3162 cr 25 And it was so from that day3117 forward,4605{Heb. and forward} that he made7760 it a statute2706 and an ordinance4941 for Israel3478 unto this day.3117 cr
