*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 agone I fell sick .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away :
and David rescued his two wives .
*
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 .
*
And David took all the flocks and the herds ,
which they drave before those other cattle ,
and said ,
This is David '
s spoil .
