  • 1 Sam 30:1-9 : 1 On the third day, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, they found that the Amalekites had invaded the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it to the ground. 2 The Amalekites had taken the women and everyone in the city captive, from the youngest to the oldest. They had not killed anyone but had taken them away as prisoners and gone on their way. 3 When David and his men came to the city, they saw that it had been burned, and their wives, sons, and daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until they could weep no more because they had no strength left. 5 Both of David’s wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken captive. 6 David was greatly distressed because the people talked about stoning him. They were all bitter in spirit because of their sons and daughters, but David found strength in the Lord his God. 7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Bring me the ephod." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Should I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?" The Lord answered, "Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them and rescue the captives." 9 David and the six hundred men with him set out, and they came to the Besor Valley, where some stayed behind. 10 David continued the pursuit with four hundred men, while two hundred stayed behind because they were too exhausted to cross the Besor Valley. 11 They found an Egyptian man in the field and brought him to David. They gave him bread to eat and water to drink. 12 They also gave him a piece of pressed fig cake and two clusters of raisins. After he ate, he revived, because he had not eaten food or drunk water for three days and three nights. 13 David asked him, "Who do you belong to, and where are you from?" He answered, "I am an Egyptian, the servant of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me three days ago because I fell ill." 14 "We raided the Negev of the Kerethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag." 15 David asked him, "Can you lead me to this raiding party?" He answered, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor hand me over to my master, and I will lead you to them." 16 He led David down to them, and there they were, scattered over the countryside, eating, drinking, and celebrating because of the great spoil they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah. 17 David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. None of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.
