09:029:008 And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what
           hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with
           thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the
           enemies of my lord the king?

09:029:009 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art
           good in my sight, as an angel of God:  notwithstanding the
           princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with
           us to the battle.

09:029:010 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master’s
           servants that are come with thee:  and as soon as ye be up
           early in the morning, and have light, depart.

09:029:011 So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning,
           to return into the land of the Philistines.  And the
           Philistines went up to Jezreel.

09:030:001 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;

09:030:002 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.

09:030:003 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.

09:030:004 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their
           voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

09:030:005 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the
           Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

09:030:006 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.

09:030:007 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray
           thee, bring me hither the ephod.  And Abiathar brought thither
           the ephod to David.

09:030:008 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.

09:030:009 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.

09:030:010 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.
