1 Samuel 30:10-31

30:10

But David
<01732>

pursued
<07291> (8799)_,

he and four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_:

for two hundred
<03967>

abode behind
<05975> (8799)_,

which were so faint
<06296> (8765)

that they could not go over
<05674> (8800)

the brook
<05158>

Besor
<01308>_.

30:11

And they found
<04672> (8799)

an Egyptian
<0376> <04713>

in the field
<07704>_,

and brought
<03947> (8799)

him to David
<01732>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

him bread
<03899>_,

and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_;

and they made him drink
<08248> (8686)

water
<04325>_;

30:12

And they gave
<05414> (8799)

him a piece
<06400>

of a cake
<01690>

of figs, and two
<08147>

clusters of raisins
<06778>_:

and when he had eaten
<0398> (8799)_,

his spirit
<07307>

came again
<07725> (8799)

to him: for he had eaten
<0398> (8804)

no bread
<03899>_,

nor drunk
<08354> (8804)

[any] water
<04325>_,

three
<07969>

days
<03117>

and three
<07969>

nights
<03915>_.

30:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] a young man
<05288>

of Egypt
<04713>_,

servant
<05650>

to an Amalekite
<0376> <06003>_;

and my master
<0113>

left
<05800> (8799)

me, because three
<07969>

days
<03117>

agone I fell sick
<02470> (8804)_.

30:14

We made an invasion
<06584> (8804)

[upon] the south
<05045>

of the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,

and upon the south
<05045>

of Caleb
<03612>_;

and we burned
<08313> (8804)

Ziklag
<06860>

with fire
<0784>_.

30:15

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Canst thou bring me down
<03381> (8686)

to this company
<01416>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me by God
<0430>_,

that thou wilt neither kill
<04191> (8686)

me, nor
<0518>

deliver
<05462> (8686)

me into the hands
<03027>

of my master
<0113>_,

and I will bring thee down
<03381> (8686)

to this company
<01416>_.

30:16

And when he had brought him down
<03381> (8686)_,

behold, [they were] spread abroad
<05203> (8803)

upon all
<06440>

the earth
<0776>_,

eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking
<08354> (8802)_,

and dancing
<02287> (8802)_,

because of all the great
<01419>

spoil
<07998>

that they had taken
<03947> (8804)

out of the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and out of the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

30:17

And David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them from the twilight
<05399>

even unto the evening
<06153>

of the next day
<04283>_:

and there escaped
<04422> (8738)

not a man
<0376>

of them, save four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

young
<05288>

men
<0376>_,

which rode
<07392> (8804)

upon camels
<01581>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_.

{the next...: Heb. their morrow}

30:18

And David
<01732>

recovered
<05337> (8686)

all that the Amalekites
<06002>

had carried away
<03947> (8804)_:

and David
<01732>

rescued
<05337> (8689)

his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_.

30:19

And there was nothing lacking
<05737> (8738)

to them, neither
<04480>

small
<06996>

nor great
<01419>_,

neither sons
<01121>

nor daughters
<01323>_,

neither spoil
<07998>_,

nor any [thing] that they had taken
<03947> (8804)

to them: David
<01732>

recovered
<07725> (8689)

all.

30:20

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

all the flocks
<06629>

and the herds
<01241>_,

[which] they drave
<05090> (8804)

before
<06440>

those
<01931>

[other] cattle
<04735>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] David's
<01732>

spoil
<07998>_.

30:21

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the two hundred
<03967>

men
<0582>_,

which were so faint
<06296> (8765)

that they could not follow
<03212> (8800) <0310>

David
<01732>_,

whom they had made also to abide
<03427> (8686)

at the brook
<05158>

Besor
<01308>_:

and they went forth
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

and to meet
<07125> (8800)

the people
<05971>

that [were] with him: and when David
<01732>

came near
<05066> (8799)

to the people
<05971>_,

he saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>

them. {saluted...: or, asked them how they did}

30:22

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

all the wicked
<07451>

men
<0376>

and [men] of Belial
<01100>_,

of those
<0582>

that went
<01980> (8804)

with David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because they went
<01980> (8804)

not with us, we will not give
<05414> (8799)

them [ought] of the spoil
<07998>

that we have recovered
<05337> (8689)_,

save to every man
<0376>

his wife
<0802>

and his children
<01121>_,

that they may lead [them] away
<05090> (8799)_,

and depart
<03212> (8799)_.

{those: Heb. men}

30:23

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

Ye shall not do so
<06213> (8799)_,

my brethren
<0251>_,

with that which the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

us, who hath preserved
<08104> (8799)

us, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

the company
<01416>

that came
<0935> (8802)

against us into our hand
<03027>_.

30:24

For who will hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto you in this matter
<01697>_?

but as his part
<02506>

[is] that goeth down
<03381> (8802) (8675) <03381> (8717)

to the battle
<04421>_,

so [shall] his part
<02506>

[be] that tarrieth
<03427> (8802)

by the stuff
<03627>_:

they shall part
<02505> (8799)

alike
<03162>_.

30:25

And it was [so] from that day
<03117>

forward
<04605>_,

that he made
<07760> (8799)

it a statute
<02706>

and an ordinance
<04941>

for Israel
<03478>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{forward: Heb. and forward}

30:26

And when David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Ziklag
<06860>_,

he sent
<07971> (8762)

of the spoil
<07998>

unto the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[even] to his friends
<07453>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold a present
<01293>

for you of the spoil
<07998>

of the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the LORD
<03068>_;

{present: Heb. blessing}

30:27

To [them]
<0834>

which [were] in Bethel
<01008>_,

and to [them] which [were] in south
<05045>

Ramoth
<07418>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Jattir
<03492>_,

30:28

And to [them] which [were] in Aroer
<06177>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth
<08224>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa
<0851>_,

30:29

And to [them] which [were] in Rachal
<07403>_,

and to [them] which [were] in the cities
<05892>

of the Jerahmeelites
<03397>_,

and to [them] which [were] in the cities
<05892>

of the Kenites
<07017>_,

30:30

And to [them] which [were] in Hormah
<02767>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Chorashan
<03565>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Athach
<06269>_,

30:31

And to [them] which [were] in Hebron
<02275>_,

and to all the places
<04725>

where David
<01732>

himself and his men
<0582>

were wont to haunt
<01980> (8694)_.
