撒母耳记上30：1～15
与亚玛力人争战
1第三日，大卫和跟随他的人到了洗革拉。亚玛力人已经侵夺南地，攻破洗革拉，用火焚烧，
2掳了城内的妇女和其中的大小人口，却没有杀一个，都带着走了。
3大卫和跟随他的人到了那城，不料，城已烧毁，他们的妻子儿女都被掳去了。
4大卫和跟随他的人就放声大哭，直哭得没有气力。
5大卫的两个妻－耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该，也被掳去了
6大卫甚是焦急，因众人为自己的儿女苦恼，说：「要用石头打死他。」大卫却倚靠耶/和/华－他的 SHEN ，心里坚固。
7 大卫对亚希米勒的儿子祭司亚比亚他说：「请你将以弗得拿过来。」亚比亚他就将以弗得拿到大卫面前。
8大卫求问耶/和/华说：「我追赶敌军，追得上追不上呢？」耶/和/华说：「你可以追，必追得上，都救得回来。」
9于是，大卫和跟随他的六百人来到比梭溪；有不能前去的就留在那里。
10大卫却带着四百人往前追赶，有二百人疲乏，不能过比梭溪，所以留在那里。
11这四百人在田野遇见一个埃及人，就带他到大卫面前，给他饼吃，给他水喝，
12又给他一块无花果饼，两个葡萄饼。他吃了，就精 SHEN 复原；因为他三日三夜没有吃饼，没有喝水。
13大卫问他说：「你是属谁的？你是哪里的人？」他回答说：「我是埃及的少年人，是亚玛力人的奴仆；因我三日前患病，我主人就把我撇弃了。
14我们侵夺了基利提的南方和属犹大的地，并迦勒地的南方，又用火烧了洗革拉。」
15大卫问他说：「你肯领我们到敌军那里不肯？」他回答说：「你要向我指着 SHEN 起誓，不杀我，也不将我交在我主人手里，我就领你下到敌军那里。」
David Destroys the Amalekites
1David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,
2and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.
3When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
4So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.
5David’s two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
6David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.
7Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, 8and David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?”“Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”
9David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Valley, where some stayed behind.
10Two hundred of them were too exhausted to cross the valley, but David and the other four hundred continued the pursuit.
11They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David. They gave him water to drink and food to eat—
12part of a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of raisins. He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.
13David asked him, “Who do you belong to? Where do you come from?”
He said, “I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago.
14We raided the Negev of the Kerethites, some territory belonging to Judah and the Negev of Caleb. And we burned Ziklag.”
15David asked him, “Can you lead me down to this raiding party?”
He answered, “Swear to me before God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to them.”
