| 30:1 | And it came to pass, when David <01732> and his men <0582> were come <0935> (8800) to Ziklag <06860> on the third <07992> day <03117>, that the Amalekites <06003> had invaded <06584> (8804) the south <05045>, and Ziklag <06860>, and smitten <05221> (8686) Ziklag <06860>, and burned <08313> (8799) it with fire <0784>; |
| 30:2 | And had taken the women <0802> captives <07617> (8799), that [were] therein: they slew <04191> (8689) not any <0376>, either great <01419> or small <06996>, but carried [them] away <05090> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) on their way <01870>. |
| 30:3 | So David <01732> and his men <0582> came <0935> (8799) to the city <05892>, and, behold, [it was] burned <08313> (8803) with fire <0784>; and their wives <0802>, and their sons <01121>, and their daughters <01323>, were taken captives <07617> (8738). |
| 30:4 | Then David <01732> and the people <05971> that [were] with him lifted up <05375> (8799) their voice <06963> and wept <01058> (8799), until they had no more power <03581> to weep <01058> (8800). |
| 30:5 | And David's <01732> two <08147> wives <0802> were taken captives <07617> (8738), Ahinoam <0293> the Jezreelitess <03159>, and Abigail <026> the wife <0802> of Nabal <05037> the Carmelite <03761>. |
| 30:6 | And David <01732> was greatly <03966> distressed <03334> (8799); for the people <05971> spake <0559> (8804) of stoning <05619> (8800) him, because the soul <05315> of all the people <05971> was grieved <04843> (8804), every man <0376> for his sons <01121> and for his daughters <01323>: but David <01732> encouraged <02388> (8691) himself in the LORD <03068> his God <0430>. {grieved: Heb. bitter} |
| 30:7 | And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Abiathar <054> the priest <03548>, Ahimelech's <0288> son <01121>, I pray thee, bring me hither <05066> (8685) the ephod <0646>. And Abiathar <054> brought <05066> (8686) thither the ephod <0646> to David <01732>. |
| 30:8 | And David <01732> enquired <07592> (8799) at the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800), Shall I pursue <07291> (8799) after <0310> this troop <01416>? shall I overtake <05381> (8686) them? And he answered <0559> (8799) him, Pursue <07291> (8798): for thou shalt surely <05381> (8687) overtake <05381> (8686) [them], and without fail <05337> (8687) recover <05337> (8686) [all]. |
| 30:9 | So David <01732> went <03212> (8799), he and the six <08337> hundred <03967> men <0376> that [were] with him, and came <0935> (8799) to the brook <05158> Besor <01308>, where those that were left behind <03498> (8737) stayed <05975> (8804). |
| 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). |
