And Abiathar{H54} brought{H5066}{(H8686)} thither the ephod{H646} to David{H1732}. 8 And David{H1732} enquired{H7592}{(H8799)} at the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Shall I pursue{H7291}{(H8799)} after{H310} this troop{H1416}? shall I overtake{H5381}{(H8686)} them? And he answered{H559}{(H8799)} him, Pursue{H7291}{(H8798)}: for thou shalt surely{H5381}{(H8687)} overtake{H5381}{(H8686)} them, and without fail{H5337}{(H8687)} recover{H5337}{(H8686)} all. 9 So David{H1732} went{H3212}{(H8799)}, he and the six{H8337} hundred{H3967} men{H376} that were with him, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to the brook{H5158} Besor{H1308}, where those that were left behind{H3498}{(H8737)} stayed{H5975}{(H8804)}. 10 But David{H1732} pursued{H7291}{(H8799)}, he and four{H702} hundred{H3967} men{H376}: for two hundred{H3967} abode behind{H5975}{(H8799)}, which were so faint{H6296}{(H8765)} that they could not go over{H5674}{(H8800)} the brook{H5158} Besor{H1308}. 11 And they found{H4672}{(H8799)} an Egyptian{H376}{H4713} in the field{H7704}, and brought{H3947}{(H8799)} him to David{H1732}, and gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him bread{H3899}, and he did eat{H398}{(H8799)}; and they made him drink{H8248}{(H8686)} water{H4325}; 12 And they gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him a piece{H6400} of a cake{H1690} of figs, and two{H8147} clusters of raisins{H6778}: and when he had eaten{H398}{(H8799)}, his spirit{H7307} came again{H7725}{(H8799)} to him: for he had eaten{H398}{(H8804)} no bread{H3899}, nor drunk{H8354}{(H8804)} any water{H4325}, three{H7969} days{H3117} and three{H7969} nights{H3915}. 13 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, I am a young man{H5288} of Egypt{H4713}, servant{H5650} to an Amalekite{H376}{H6003}; and my master{H113} left{H5800}{(H8799)} me, because three{H7969} days{H3117} agone I fell sick{H2470}{(H8804)}. 14 We made an invasion{H6584}{(H8804)} upon the south{H5045} of the Cherethites{H3774}, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah{H3063}, and upon the south{H5045} of Caleb{H3612}; and we burned{H8313}{(H8804)} Ziklag{H6860} with fire{H784}. 15 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} to him, Canst thou bring me down{H3381}{(H8686)} to this company{H1416}? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Swear{H7650}{(H8734)} unto me by God{H430}, that thou wilt neither kill{H4191}{(H8686)} me, nor{H518} deliver{H5462}{(H8686)} me into the hands{H3027} of my master{H113}, and I will bring thee down{H3381}{(H8686)} to this company{H1416}. 16 And when he had brought him down{H3381}{(H8686)}, behold, they were spread abroad{H5203}{(H8803)} upon all{H6440} the earth{H776}, eating{H398}{(H8802)} and drinking{H8354}{(H8802)}, and dancing{H2287}{(H8802)}, because of all the great{H1419} spoil{H7998} that they had taken{H3947}{(H8804)} out of the land{H776} of the Philistines{H6430}, and out of the land{H776} of Judah{H3063}. 17 And David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them from the twilight{H5399} even unto the evening{H6153} of the next day{H4283}: and there escaped{H4422}{(H8738)} not a man{H376} of them, save four{H702} hundred{H3967} young{H5288} men{H376}, which rode{H7392}{(H8804)} upon camels{H1581}, and fled{H5127}{(H8799)}.
