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 it cometh
to pass, in
the
coming
in
of
David and his men to Ziklag ,
on the third day, that the Amalekites have
pushed
unto
the south, and unto
Ziklag, and smite
Ziklag, and burn
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.
and they
take
captive
the women who
`are'
in
it;
from
small
unto
great
they have
not put
any one
to
death
, and
they
lead
away, and go
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.
And
David cometh
in
--
and his men --
unto
the city, and lo
, burnt
with fire ,
and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters have
been
taken captive!
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 lifteth
up
--
and the people who
`are'
with him --
their voice and weep
, till
that
they have
no power to weep.

two wives were
taken captives
, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the
wife of Nabal the Carmelite .
And the
two wives of
David
have
been
taken captive
, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail 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 hath
great
distress,
for the people have
said
to
stone
him, for
the soul of all the people hath
been
bitter
, each
for his sons and for his daughters ;
and
David doth
strengthen
himself in Jehovah
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 saith
unto
Abiathar the priest, son of
Ahimelech
, `Bring
nigh,
I pray thee, to
me the ephod ;'
and Abiathar bringeth
nigh
the ephod unto
David ,
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
.
and David asketh
at Jehovah
, saying, `
I pursue after this troop --
do
I overtake it
? '
And He saith
to
him, `
Pursue ,
for thou dost
certainly
overtake, and dost
certainly
deliver
. '
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.
And
David goeth
on
, he and six hundred men who
`are'
with him, and they
come
in
unto
the brook of
Besor, and
those left have
stood
still,
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
David pursueth
, he and four hundred men ,
(and
two hundred men
stand
still
who
have
been
too
faint to
pass
over the brook of
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 find
a
man,
an Egyptian ,
in the field, and take
him unto
David, and give
to
him bread, and he eateth,
and they cause
him to
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 give
to
him a piece of a bunch
of dried
figs, and two bunches
of raisins ,
and he eateth
, and
his spirit returneth
unto

eaten bread nor drunk 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
, servant to an Amalekite ;
and my master
left
me, because
three
days
agone
I fell
sick .
And David saith
to
him, `Whose
`art'
thou? and whence `
art '
thou? '
And he saith
, `An
Egyptian
youth
I `
am '
, servant to a
man,
an Amalekite ,
and my lord
forsaketh
me, for
I have
been
sick three
days,
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.
we pushed
`to'
the south of the Cherethite
, and against
that
which `is'
to Judah, and against
the south of Caleb ,
and Ziklag
we burned with fire. '
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
.
And David saith
unto
him, `Dost
thou bring me down unto
this troop
? '
and he saith
, `
Swear to
me by God --
thou dost
not
put
me to
death
, nor dost
thou
shut
me up
into the hand
of my lord
--
and I bring thee down unto
this troop
. '
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.
And he bringeth
him down, and
lo
, they are
spread out
over
the
face
of
all the earth, eating ,
and drinking, and feasting
, with
all the great spoil which
they have
taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
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.
And David smiteth
them from the twilight even unto the evening of the morrow,
and there hath
not escaped
of them a
man
, except
four hundred young men who
have
ridden
on
the
camels, and are
fled.
And David recovered
all that the Amalekites had
carried
away:
and
David
rescued
his two wives.
And David delivereth
all that the Amalekites have
taken;
also
his two wives hath
David
delivered
.
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.
And there hath
not
lacked
to them `anything'
, from
small unto
great, and
unto
sons and
daughters, and
from
the
spoil, even
unto
all
that they had taken to themselves,
the
whole
hath
David brought
back,
And David took
all
the flocks
and the herds
, which
they drave
before those
other
cattle, and said
, This is David's spoil.
and David taketh
the whole
of
the
flock,
and of
the herd
, they have
led
on
before these
cattle, and they
say
, `
This `
is '
David's spoil. '
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.
And David cometh
in
unto
the two hundred men who
were too
faint to
go
after
David, and
whom they cause
to abide at the brook of
Besor ,
and they go
out
to meet David, and to meet the people who
`are'
with him ,
and David approacheth
the people, and
asketh
of
them of
welfare
.
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
.
And every
bad
and
worthless
man
, of the
men
who
have
gone
with David, answereth
, yea,
they
say,
`
Because that
they have
not gone
with us we do
not give to
them of the spoil which
we have delivered
, except
each
his wife and his children, and
they lead away and go
.
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 .
And
David saith
, `
Ye do
not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah
hath given to
us, and
He
doth
preserve
us, and doth
give
the troop
which
cometh
against us into our hand ;
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.
and
who doth
hearken to
you in this thing
? for
as the portion
of
him
who
was
brought
down
into
battle, so also
`is'
the
portion
of
him
who
is
abiding
by the vessels
--
alike they
share
. '
And it was
so
from that day forward, that he made
it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
And it cometh
to
pass
from that day and
forward, that he appointeth
it for
a statute and for
an ordinance for Israel 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
for you of the spoil of the enemies of the
LORD;
And David cometh
in
unto
Ziklag, and
sendeth
of the spoil to
the elders of Judah, to his friends, (
saying, `Lo,
for you a
blessing,
of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah),'

were
in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself
and his men were
wont
to
haunt
.
and to those
in Hebron, and to all the places where David had
gone
up
and down,
he
and
his men.
