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;

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.
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.

Then David
and the people
that were with him lifted up
their voice
and wept,
until they had no more power
to weep.
And David's
two
wives
were taken captives,
Ahinoam
the Jezreelitess,
and Abigail
the wife
of Nabal
the Carmelite.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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;
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.

And David
said
unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said,
I am a young man
of Egypt,

to an Amalekite;
and my master
left
me, because three
days
agone I fell sick.

And when he had brought him down,
behold, they were spread abroad

because of all the great

that they had taken
out of the land
of the Philistines,

which rode

And David

And there was nothing lacking

neither sons
nor daughters,
neither spoil,
nor any thing that they had taken
to them: David
recovered
all.

and they went forth
to meet
David,

that were with him: and when David

to the people,
he saluted
them.

Then answered

Because they went

that we have recovered,
save to every man

and his children,
that they may lead them away,

And it was so from that day
forward,
that he made
it a statute

unto this day.
And when David
came
to Ziklag,
he sent
of the spoil
unto the elders
of Judah,
even to his friends,
saying,
Behold a present
