1
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
;
2
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
.
3
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
.
4
Then David
and the people
that
were
with him lifted up
their voice
and wept
,
until they had no more power
to weep
.
5
And David's
two
wives
were taken captives
,
Ahinoam
the Jezreelitess
,
and Abigail
the wife
of Nabal
the Carmelite
.
6
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
.
7
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
.
8
And David
inquired
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
.
9
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
.
10
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
.
11
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
;
12
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
.
13
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
.
14
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
.
15
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
.
16
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
.
17
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.
18
And David
recovered
all
that the Amalekites
had carried away
: and David
rescued
his two
wives
.
19
And there was
nothing
lacking
to them, neither
sm
all
n
or
great
,
neither sons
n
or
daughters
,
neither spoil
,
n
or
any
thing
that they had taken
to them: David
recovered
all
.
20
And David
took
all
the flocks
and the herds
,
which
they drave
before
those
other
cattle
,
and said
,
This
is
David's
spoil
.
21
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.
22
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
.
23
Then said
David
,
Ye shall not do
so
,
my brethren
,
with that which the LORD
hath given
us, who hath preserved us, and delivered
the company
that came
against
us into our hand
.
24
For who will hearken
unto you in
this
matter? but as his part
is
that goeth down
to the battle
,
so
shall
his part
be
that tarrieth
by the stuff
:
they shall part
alike.
25
And it was
so
from that day
forward
,
that he made
it a statute
and an ordinance
for Israel
un
to this
day
.
26
And when David
came
to Ziklag
,
he sent
of the spoil
unto the elders
of Judah
,
even
to his friends
,
saying
,
Behold
a present
for you
of the spoil
of the enemies
of the LORD
;
27
To
them
which
were
in Bethel
, and to
them
which
were
in south
Ramoth
,
and to
them
which
were
in Jattir
,
28
And to
them
which
were
in Aroer
,
and to
them
which
were
in Siphmoth
,
and to
them
which
were
in Eshtemoa
,
29
And to
them
which
were
in Rachal
,
and to
them
which
were
in the cities
of the Jerahmeelites
,
and to
them
which
were
in the cities
of the Kenites
,
30
And to
them
which
were
in Hormah
, and to
them
which
were
in Chorashan,
and to
them
which
were
in Athach
,
31
And to
them
which
were
in Hebron
,
and to
all
the places
where David
himself
and his men
were wont to haunt
.
