V.1 And it came to pass, when David 1732 and his men 582 were come 935-2 to Ziklag 6860 on the third 7992 day, 3117 that the Amalekites 6003 had invaded 6584-1 the south, 5045 and Ziklag, 6860 and smitten 5221-55 Ziklag, 6860 and burned 8313-4 it with fire; 784

30:2 And had taken the women 802 captives, 7617-4 that [were] therein: they slew 4191-52 not any, 376 either great 1419 or small, 6996 but carried [them] away, 5090-4 and went 3212-4 on their way. 1870

30:3 So David 1732 and his men 582 came 935-4 to the city, 5892 and, behold, [it was] burned 8313-7 with fire; 784 and their wives, 802 and their sons, 1121 and their daughters, 1323 were taken captives. 7617-8

30:4 Then David 1732 and the people 5971 that [were] with him lifted up 5375-4 their voice 6963 and wept, 1058-4 until they had no more power 3581 to weep. 1058-2

30:5 And David's 1732 two 8147 wives 802 were taken captives, 7617-8 Ahinoam 293 the Jezreelitess, 3159 and Abigail 26 the wife 802 of Nabal 5037 the Carmelite. 3761

30:6 And David 1732 was greatly 3966 distressed; 3334-4 for the people 5971 spake 559-1 of stoning 5619-2 him, because the soul 5315 of all the people 5971 was grieved, 4843-1 every man 376 for his sons 1121 and for his daughters: 1323 but David 1732 encouraged 2388-101 himself in the LORD 3068 his God. 430

30:7 And David 1732 said 559-4 to Abiathar 54 the priest, 3548 Ahimelech's 288 son, 1121 I pray thee, bring me hither 5066-54 the ephod. 646 And Abiathar 54 brought 5066-55 thither the ephod 646 to David. 1732

30:8 And David 1732 enquired 7592-4 at the LORD, 3068 saying, 559-2 Shall I pursue 7291-4 after 310 this troop? 1416 shall I overtake 5381-55 them? And he answered 559-4 him, Pursue: 7291-3 for thou shalt surely 5381-53 overtake 5381-55 [them], and without fail 5337-53 recover 5337-55 [all].

30:9 So David 1732 went, 3212-4 he and the six 8337 hundred 3967 men 376 that [were] with him, and came 935-4 to the brook 5158 Besor, 1308 where those that were left behind 3498-12 stayed. 5975-1

30:10 But David 1732 pursued, 7291-4 he and four 702 hundred 3967 men: 376 for two hundred 3967 376 abode behind, 5975-4 which were so faint 6296-14 that they could not go over 5674- 2 the brook 5158 Besor. 1308

30:11 And they found 4672-4 an Egyptian 376 4713 in the field, 7704 and brought 3947-4 him to David, 1732 and gave 5414-4 him bread, 3899 and he did eat; 398-4 and they made him drink 8248-55 water; 4325

30:12 And they gave 5414-4 him a piece 6400 of a cake 1690 of figs, and two 8147 clusters of raisins: 6778 and when he had eaten, 398-4 his spirit 7307 came again 7725-4 to him: for he had eaten 398-1 no bread, 3899 nor drunk 8354-1 [any] water, 4325 three 7969 days 3117 and three 7969 nights. 3915

30:13 And David 1732 said 559-4 unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, 559-4 I [am] a young man 5288 of Egypt, 4713 servant 5650 to an Amalekite; 376 6003 and my master 113 left 5800-4 me, because three 7969 days 3117 agone I fell sick. 2470-1

30:14 We made an invasion 6584-1 [upon] the south 5045 of the Cherethites, 3774 and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, 3063 and upon the south 5045 of Caleb; 3612 and we burned 8313-1 Ziklag 6860 with fire. 784

30:15 And David 1732 said 559-4 to him, Canst thou bring me down 3381-55 to this company? 1416 And he said, 559-4 Swear 7650-10 unto me by God, 430 that thou wilt neither 518 kill 4191-55 me, nor 518 deliver 5462-55 me into the hands 3027 of my master, 113 and I will bring thee down 3381-55 to this company. 1416

30:16 And when he had brought him down, 3381-55 behold, [they were] spread abroad 5203-7 upon 6440 all the earth, 776 eating 398-6 and drinking, 8354-6 and dancing, 2287-6 because of all the great 1419 spoil 7998 that they had taken 3947-1 out of the land 776 of the Philistines, 6430 and out of the land 776 of Judah. 3063

30:17 And David 1732 smote 5221-55 them from the twilight 5399 even unto the evening 6153 of the next day: 4283 and there escaped 4422-8 not a man 376 of them, save four 702 hundred 3967 young 5288 men, 376 which rode 7392-1 upon camels, 1581 and fled. 5127-4

30:18 And David 1732 recovered 5337-55 all that the Amalekites 6002 had carried away: 3947-1 and David 1732 rescued 5337-52 his two 8147 wives. 802

30:19 And there was nothing lacking 5737-8 to them, neither 4480 small 6996 nor great, 1419 neither sons 1121 nor daughters, 1323 neither spoil, 7998 nor any [thing] that they had taken 3947-1 to them: David 1732 recovered 7725-52 all.

30:20 And David 1732 took 3947-4 all the flocks 6629 and the herds, 1241 [which] they drave 5090-1 before 6440 those 1931 [other] cattle, 4735 and said, 559-4 This [is] David's 1732 spoil. 7998

30:21 And David 1732 came 935-4 to the two hundred 3967 men, 582 which were so faint 6296-14 that they could not follow 3212-2 310 David, 1732 whom they had made also to abide 3427- 55 at the brook 5158 Besor: 1308 and they went forth 3318-4 to meet 7125-2 David, 1732 and to meet 7125-2 the people 5971 that [were] with him: and when David 1732 came near 5066-4 to the people, 5971 he saluted 7592-4 7965 them.

30:22 Then answered 6030-4 all the wicked 7451 men 376 and [men] of Belial, 1100 of those 582 that went 1980-1 with David, 1732 and said, 559-4 Because they went 1980-1 not with us, we will not give 5414-4 them [ought] of the spoil 7998 that we have recovered, 5337-52 save to every man 376 his wife 802 and his children, 1121 that they may lead [them] away, 5090-4 and depart. 3212-4

30:23 Then said 559-4 David, 1732 Ye shall not do 6213-4 so, my brethren, 251 with that which the LORD 3068 hath given 5414-1 us, who hath preserved 8104-4 us, and delivered 5414-4 the company 1416 that came 935-6 against us into our hand. 3027

30:24 For who will hearken 8085-4 unto you in this matter? 1697 but as his part 2506 [is] that goeth down 3381-6|3381- 90-k to the battle, 4421 so [shall] his part 2506 [be] that tarrieth 3427-6 by the stuff: 3627 they shall part 2505-4 alike. 3162

30:25 And it was [so] from that day 3117 forward, 4605 that he made 7760-4 it a statute 2706 and an ordinance 4941 for Israel 3478 unto this day. 3117

30:26 And when David 1732 came 935-4 to Ziklag, 6860 he sent 7971-17 of the spoil 7998 unto the elders 2205 of Judah, 3063 [even] to his friends, 7453 saying, 559-2 Behold a present 1293 for you of the spoil 7998 of the enemies 341-6 of the LORD; 3068

30:27 To [them] which 834 [were] in Bethel, 1008 and to [them] which [were] in south 5045 Ramoth, 7418 and to [them] which [were] in Jattir, 3492

30:28 And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, 6177 and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth, 8224 and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa, 851

30:29 And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, 7403 and to [them] which [were] in the cities 5892 of the Jerahmeelites, 3397 and to [them] which [were] in the cities 5892 of the Kenites, 7017

30:30 And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, 2767 and to [them] which [were] in Chorashan, 3565 and to [them] which [were] in Athach, 6269
