@ 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
;
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:5
@ And
Davids
two
wives
were taken
captives
,
Ahinoam
the
Jezreelitess
Yizr@, and
Abigail
the
wife
of
Nabal
the
Carmelite
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:7
@ And
David
said
to
Abiathar
the
priest
,
Ahimelechs
son
, I pray thee, bring me
hither
the
ephod
. And
Abiathar
brought
thither the
ephod
to
David
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:8
@ And
David
enquired
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.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:11
@ And they
found
an
Egyptian
H4713in the
field
, and
brought
him to
David
, and
gave
him
bread
, and he did
eat
; and they made him
drink
water
;
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
H6003; and my
master
left
me, because
three
days
agone I fell
sick
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:18
@ And
David
recovered
all that the
Amalekites
had carried
away
: and
David
rescued
his
two
wives
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:19
@ And there was nothing
lacking
to them,
neither
small
nor
great
, neither
sons
nor
daughters
, neither
spoil
, nor any thing that they had
taken
to them:
David
recovered
all.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:20
@ And
David
took
all the
flocks
and the
herds
, which they
drave
before
those
other
cattle
, and
said
, This is
Davids
spoil
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:21
@ And
David
came
to the two
hundred
men
, which were so
faint
that they could not
follow
David
, whom they had made also to
abide
at the
brook
Besor
: and they went
forth
to
meet
David
, and to
meet
the
people
that were with him: and when
David
came
near
to the
people
, he
saluted
them.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:22
@ Then
answered
all the
wicked
men
and men of
Belial
b@, of
those
that
went
with
David
, and
said
, Because they
went
not with us, we will not
give
them ought of the
spoil
that we have
recovered
, save to every
man
his
wife
and his
children
, that they may lead them
away
, and
depart
.
strkjv@1Samuel:30:23
@ Then
said
David
, Ye shall not do
so
, my
brethren
, with that which the
LORD
hath
given
us, who hath
preserved
us, and
delivered
the
company
that
came
against us into our
hand

@ For who will
hearken
unto you in this

part
alike
