| [1]And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 and his menH582 were comeH935[H8800] to ZiklagH6860 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that the AmalekitesH6003 had invadedH6584[H8804] the southH5045, and ZiklagH6860, and smittenH5221[H8686] ZiklagH6860, and burnedH8313[H8799] it with fireH784; |
[1]But when David and his men were come to Ziklag the third day, the Amalekites had invaded upon the south, even unto Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire, |
| [2]And had taken the womenH802 captivesH7617[H8799], that were therein: they slewH4191[H8689] not anyH376, either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but carried them awayH5090[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] on their wayH1870. |
[2]And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and slew not a man, but carried them away, and went their ways. |
| [3]So DavidH1732 and his menH582 cameH935[H8799] to the cityH5892, and, behold, it was burnedH8313[H8803] with fireH784; and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, were taken captivesH7617.[H8738] |
[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 prisoners. |
| [4]Then DavidH1732 and the peopleH5971 that were with him lifted upH5375[H8799] their voiceH6963 and weptH1058[H8799], until they had no more powerH3581 to weepH1058.[H8800] |
[4]Then David and the people that was with him, lift up their voices and wept, until they could weep no more. |
| [5]And David'sH1732 twoH8147 wivesH802 were taken captivesH7617[H8738], AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the wifeH802 of NabalH5037 the CarmeliteH3761. |
[5]David's two wives were taken prisoners also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. |
| [6]And DavidH1732 was greatlyH3966 distressedH3334[H8799]; for the peopleH5971 spakeH559[H8804] of stoningH5619[H8800] him, because the soulH5315 of all the peopleH5971 was grievedH4843[H8804], every manH376 for his sonsH1121 and for his daughtersH1323: but DavidH1732 encouragedH2388[H8691] himself in the LORDH3068 his GodH430. |
[6]And David was in great sorrow: for the people intended to stone him, because the hearts of all the people were vexed every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David comforted himself in the Lord his God. |
| [7]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Ahimelech'sH288 sonH1121, I pray thee, bring me hitherH5066[H8685] the ephodH646. And AbiatharH54 broughtH5066[H8686] thither the ephodH646 to DavidH1732. |
[7]And David said to Abiathar the priest Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. |
| [8]And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592[H8799] at the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], Shall I pursueH7291[H8799] afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381[H8686] them? And he answeredH559[H8799] him, PursueH7291[H8798]: for thou shalt surelyH5381[H8687] overtakeH5381[H8686] them, and without failH5337[H8687] recoverH5337 allH8686. |
[8]Then David asked counsel at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this company? Shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Follow: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and recover all. |
| [9]So DavidH1732 wentH3212[H8799], he and the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, and cameH935[H8799] to the brookH5158 BesorH1308, where those that were left behindH3498[H8737] stayedH5975.[H8804] |
[9]So David and the six hundred men that were with him, went, and came to the river Besor, where a part of them abode: |
| [10]But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291[H8799], he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376: for two hundredH3967 abode behindH5975[H8799], which were so faintH6296[H8765] that they could not go overH5674[H8800] the brookH5158 BesorH1308. |
[10]But David and four hundred men followed (for two hundred abode behind, being too weary to go over the river Besor) |
| [11]And they foundH4672[H8799] an EgyptianH376[H4713] in the fieldH7704, and broughtH3947[H8799] him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414[H8799] him breadH3899, and he did eatH398[H8799]; and they made him drinkH8248[H8686] waterH4325; |
[11]And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread and he did eat, and they gave him water to drink. |
| [12]And they gaveH5414[H8799] him a pieceH6400 of a cakeH1690 of figs, and twoH8147 clusters of raisinsH6778: and when he had eatenH398[H8799], his spiritH7307 came againH7725[H8799] to him: for he had eatenH398[H8804] no breadH3899, nor drunkH8354[H8804] any waterH4325, threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915. |
[12]Also they gave him a few 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 in three days, and three nights. |
| [13]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saidH559[H8799], I am a young manH5288 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH376[H6003]; and my masterH113 leftH5800[H8799] me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 agone I fell sickH2470.[H8804] |
[13]And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? And whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, and servant to an Amalekite: and my master left me three days ago, because I fell sick. |
| [14]We made an invasionH6584[H8804] upon the southH5045 of the CherethitesH3774, and upon the coast which belongeth to JudahH3063, and upon the southH5045 of CalebH3612; and we burnedH8313[H8804] ZiklagH6860 with fireH784. |
[14]We roved upon the south of Chereth, and upon the coast belonging to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire. |
| [15]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to him, Canst thou bring me downH3381[H8686] to this companyH1416? And he saidH559[H8799], SwearH7650[H8734] unto me by GodH430, that thou wilt neither killH4191[H8686] me, norH518 deliverH5462[H8686] me into the handsH3027 of my masterH113, and I will bring thee downH3381[H8686] to this companyH1416. |
[15]And David said unto him, Canst thou bring me 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 to this company. |
| [16]And when he had brought him downH3381[H8686], behold, they were spread abroadH5203[H8803] upon allH6440 the earthH776, eatingH398[H8802] and drinkingH8354[H8802], and dancingH2287[H8802], because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947[H8804] out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the landH776 of JudahH3063. |
[16]And when he had brought him thither, behold, they lay scattered abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great prey that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. |
| [17]And DavidH1732 smoteH5221[H8686] them from the twilightH5399 even unto the eveningH6153 of the next dayH4283: and there escapedH4422[H8738] not a manH376 of them, save fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5288 menH376, which rodeH7392[H8804] upon camelsH1581, and fledH5127.[H8799] |
[17]And David smote them from the twilight, even unto the evening of the next morrow, so that there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled. |
| [18]And DavidH1732 recoveredH5337[H8686] all that the AmalekitesH6002 had carried awayH3947[H8804]: and DavidH1732 rescuedH5337[H8689] his twoH8147 wivesH802. |
[18]And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: also David rescued his two wives. |
| [19]And there was nothing lackingH5737[H8738] to them, neitherH4480 smallH6996 nor greatH1419, neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, neither spoilH7998, nor any thing that they had takenH3947[H8804] to them: DavidH1732 recoveredH7725 allH8689. |
[19]And they lacked nothing, small or great, son or daughter, or of the spoil of all that they had taken away: David recovered them all. |
| [20]And DavidH1732 tookH3947[H8799] all the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241, which they draveH5090[H8804] beforeH6440 thoseH1931 other cattleH4735, and saidH559[H8799], This is David'sH1732 spoilH7998. |
[20]David also took all the sheep, and the oxen, and they drave them before his cattle, and said, This is David's prey. |
| [21]And DavidH1732 cameH935[H8799] to the two hundredH3967 menH582, which were so faintH6296[H8765] that they could not followH3212[H8800][H310] DavidH1732, whom they had made also to abideH3427[H8686] at the brookH5158 BesorH1308: and they went forthH3318[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] DavidH1732, and to meetH7125[H8800] the peopleH5971 that were with him: and when DavidH1732 came nearH5066[H8799] to the peopleH5971, he salutedH7592[H8799] themH7965. |
[21]And David came to the two hundred men that were too weary for to follow David: whom they had made also to abide at the river Besor: and they came to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: so when David came near to the people, he saluted them. |
| [22]Then answeredH6030[H8799] all the wickedH7451 menH376 and men of BelialH1100, of thoseH582 that wentH1980[H8804] with DavidH1732, and saidH559[H8799], Because they wentH1980[H8804] not with us, we will not giveH5414[H8799] them ought of the spoilH7998 that we have recoveredH5337[H8689], save to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his childrenH1121, that they may lead them awayH5090[H8799], and departH3212.[H8799] |
[22]Then answered all the evil and wicked of the men that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, therefore will we give them none of the prey that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children: therefore let them carry them away and depart. |
| [23]Then saidH559[H8799] DavidH1732, Ye shall not do soH6213[H8799], my brethrenH251, with that which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414[H8804] us, who hath preservedH8104[H8799] us, and deliveredH5414[H8799] the companyH1416 that cameH935[H8802] against us into our handH3027. |
[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 hands. |
| [24]For who will hearkenH8085[H8799] unto you in this matterH1697? but as his partH2506 is that goeth downH3381[H8802][H8675][H3381][H8717] to the battleH4421, so shall his partH2506 be that tarriethH3427[H8802] by the stuffH3627: they shall partH2505[H8799] alikeH3162. |
[24]For who will obey 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 dayH3117 forwardH4605, that he madeH7760[H8799] it a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 for IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117. |
[25]So from that day forward he made it a statute and a law in Israel, until this day. |
| [26]And when DavidH1732 cameH935[H8799] to ZiklagH6860, he sentH7971[H8762] of the spoilH7998 unto the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063, even to his friendsH7453, sayingH559[H8800], Behold a presentH1293 for you of the spoilH7998 of the enemiesH341[H8802] of the LORDH3068; |
[26]When David therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the prey unto the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, See there is a blessing for you of the spoil of the enemies of the Lord. |
| [27]To themH834 which were in BethelH1008, and to them which were in southH5045 RamothH7418, and to them which were in JattirH3492, |
[27]He sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of south Ramoth, and to them of Jattir, |
| [28]And to them which were in AroerH6177, and to them which were in SiphmothH8224, and to them which were in EshtemoaH851, |
[28]And to them of Aroer, and to them of Siphmoth, and to them of Eshtemoa, |
| [29]And to them which were in RachalH7403, and to them which were in the citiesH5892 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and to them which were in the citiesH5892 of the KenitesH7017, |
[29]And to them of Rachal, and to them of the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them of the cities of the Kenites, |
| [30]And to them which were in HormahH2767, and to them which were in ChorashanH3565, and to them which were in AthachH6269, |
[30]And to them of Hormah, and to them of Chor-ashan, and to them of Athach, |
| [31]And to them which were in HebronH2275, and to all the placesH4725 where DavidH1732 himself and his menH582 were wont to hauntH1980.[H8694] |
[31]And to them of Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had haunted. |
