09:030:011 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;
09:030:012 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.
09:030:013 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.
09:030:014 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.
09:030:015 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.
09:030:016 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.
09:030:017 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.
09:030:018 And David recovered all that the Amalekites
had carried away:
and
David rescued his two wives.
09:030:019 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.
09:030:020 And David took all the flocks and the herds,
which they drave
before
those other cattle, and said, This is David’s
spoil.
09:030:021 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.
09:030:022 Then answered all the wicked men and men
of Belial, 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.
