RF SA1 30:1 (B.C. 1054.) David Returns to Ziklag, and finds it had been captured by the Amalekites. He pursues them.
But when David and his men arrived at Ziklag on the third day, they found that the Amalekites had devastated the south, up to Ziklag, and attacked Ziklag, and burnt it with fire,
RF SA1 30:2 and captured the women who were in it, from the least to the greatest. They did not kill a single person, but carried them off and departed.
RF SA1 30:3 So when David and his men came to the town they saw it burnt by fire, and their wives, children and daughters carried off.
RF SA1 30:4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until there was no more strength in them to weep.
RF SA1 30:5 The two wives of David also were captured, Akhinoam the Jezraalitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal, the Karmelite,
RF SA1 30:6 and it troubled David greatly, for the people threatened to stone him, for the soul of all the forces was bitter because of their sons and daughters, but David relied upon his EVER-LIVING GOD.
RF SA1 30:7 David consequently said to Abiathar the Priest, son of Akhimalek, "Bring me the ephod." And Abiathar brought the ephod to David,
RF SA1 30:8 and David enquired of the EVER-LIVING asking, "Shall I pursue this troop? And can I overtake them?" When He replied to him, "Follow; for you shall overtake, and deliver."
RF SA1 30:9 Therefore David and the six hundred men with him marched, and came to the canal at the Wall, where part halted.
RF SA1 30:10 But David and four hundred men continued the pursuit, whilst two hundred men, who were exhausted, halted at the passage of the canal of the Wall.
RF SA1 30:11 And they found a man, an Egyptian, in the field, and took him to David. They gave him food, and he ate, and they quenched him with water.
RF SA1 30:12 They also gave him a slice of fig cake, and two bunches of raisins, and he ate, and his energy returned to him, for he had not eaten food nor drank water for three days and three nights.
RF SA1 30:13 David then asked him, "Who are you? or from where?" And he answered, "I am a young Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite, and my master abandoned me three days ago, because I broke down.
RF SA1 30:14 We had devastated the pastures of the Khithites as high up as Judah, and the pastures of Kaleb, and we burnt Ziklag with fire."
RF SA1 30:15 David next asked him, "Will you guide me to this gang?" And he replied, "Swear to me by GOD that you will not kill me, and not give me up to the hand of my master, and I will lead you to that gang."
RF SA1 30:16 So he led them. And they were scattered all over the ground eating and drinking, and feasting upon the great booty they had taken from the country of the Philishtim, and from the land of Judah.
RF SA1 30:17 David therefore assailed them with spirit from the evening to the next day, and none of them escaped except four hundred young men who mounted on camels and fled.
RF SA1 30:18 Then David rescued all the Amalekites had taken, and David also rescued his two wives,
RF SA1 30:19 and they lost no one, small or great, of their sons or daughters. And the plunder, and all that they had taken with them David got back.
RF SA1 30:20 But David took all the sheep and cattle they drove out from that camp to himself, and said "This is David's booty."
RF SA1 30:21 But when David approached the two hundred men, who had been exhausted by the march after David, and who stayed by the canal of the Wall, they came out to meet David and the force with him, and David came to them and wished them health.
RF SA1 30:22 (B.C. 1054.) David Fixes the law of war prizes.
But all the vile and blackguardly fellows among those who marched with David objected and said: "Because they did not go with us, none of the booty that we have captured shall be given to them, except to each one his wife and children. Let them take them and be off!"
RF SA1 30:23 David, however, said, "You shall not do so, brothers, since the EVER-LIVING has given it to us, and has guarded us, and delivered the gang who fell upon us into our power.
RF SA1 30:24 And who will listen to this talk of yours? As for the share of the man who goes into battle, and the share of him who stays with the baggage, both shall be equal."
RF SA1 30:25 So from that day forwards it was fixed as an institution and decree for Israel until this time.
RF SA1 30:26 When David arrived at Ziklag he sent part of the booty to, the princes of Judah his neighbors, saying, "Here is a present to you from the plunder of the enemies of the EVER-LIVING."
RF SA1 30:27 To those also in Bethel and those in Ramah-Negeb, as to those in Jathir,
RF SA1 30:28 and those in Ashema,
RF SA1 30:29 and those in Rakal, and those in the villages of the Irakhmali, and to those in the villages of the Kenites,
RF SA1 30:30 and those in Kharmah, and those in Korashon, and to those in Athak,
RF SA1 30:31 and to those in Khebron, and to all the places where David had been with his men.
