1 It took Davidand his men three days to reach Ziklag. But while they had been away, the Amalekites had been raiding in the desert around there. They had attacked Ziklag, burned it to the ground, 2 and had taken away the women and children. 3 When Davidand his men came to Ziklag, they saw the burned-out ruins and learned that their families had been taken captive. 4 They started crying and kept it up until they were too weak to cry any more. 5 1 S 25.42,43.David’s two wives, Ahinoamand Abigail, had been taken captive with everyone else.
6 Davidwas desperate. His soldiers were so upset over what had happened to their sons and daughters that they were thinking about stoning Davidto death. But he felt the LordGod giving him strength, 7 1 S 22.20-23.and he said to the priest, "Abiathar, let’s ask God what to do."
Abiatharbrought everything he needed to get answers from God, and he went over to David. 8 Then Davidasked the Lord, "Should I go after the people who raided our town? Can I catch up with them?"
"Go after them," the Lordanswered. "You will catch up with them, and you will rescue your families."
9,10 Davidled his 600 men to BesorGorge, but 200 of them were too tired to go across. So they stayed behind, while Davidand the other 400 men crossed the gorge.
11 Some of David’s men found an Egyptian out in a field and took him to David. They gave the Egyptian some bread, and he ate it. Then they gave him a drink of water, 12 some dried figs, and two handfuls of raisins. This was the first time in three days he had tasted food or water. Now he felt much better.
13 "Who is your master?" Davidasked. "And where do you come from?"
"I’m from Egypt," the young man answered. "I’m the servant of an Amalekite, but he left me here three days ago because I was sick. 14 We had attacked some towns in the desert where the Cherethites live, in the area that belongs to Judah, and in the desert where the Caleb clan lives. And we burned down Ziklag."
15 "Will you take me to those Amalekites?" Davidasked.
"Yes, I will, if you promise with God as a witness that you won’t kill me or hand me over to my master."
16 He led David to the Amalekites. They were eating and drinking everywhere, celebrating because of what they had taken from Philistia and Judah. 17 Davidattacked just before sunrise the next day and fought until sunset.30.17 just … sunset: Or "at dusk, and fought until sunset on the next day."Four hundred Amalekites rode away on camels, but they were the only ones who escaped.
18 Davidrescued his two wives and everyone else the Amalekites had taken from Ziklag. 19 No one was missing—young or old, sons or daughters. Davidbrought back everything that had been stolen, 20 including their livestock.
Davidalso took the sheep and cattle that the Amalekites had with them, but he kept these separate from the others. Everyone agreed that these would be David’s reward.
21 On the way back, Davidwent to the 200 men he had left at BesorGorge, because they had been too tired to keep up with him. They came toward Davidand the people who were with him. When Davidwas close enough, he greeted the 200 men and asked how they were doing.
22 Some of David’s men were good-for-nothings, and they said, "Those men didn’t go with us to the battle, so they don’t get any of the things we took back from the Amalekites. Let them take their wives and children and go!"
23 But Davidsaid:
My friends, don’t be so greedy with what the Lordhas given us! The Lordprotected us and gave us victory over the people who attacked. 24 Who would pay attention to you, anyway? Soldiers who stay behind to guard the camp get as much as those who go into battle.
25 David made this a law for Israel, and it has been the same ever since.
26 Davidwent back to Ziklagwith everything they had taken from the Amalekites. He sent some of these things as gifts to his friends who were leaders of Judah, and he told them, "We took these things from the Lord's enemies. Please accept them as a gift."
27-31 This is a list of the towns where Davidsent gifts: Bethel,30.27-31 Bethel: Or "Bethuel" (see Joshua 19.4).Ramothin the Southern Desert, Jattir, Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa, Racal, the towns belonging to the Jerahmeelites and the Kenites, Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach, and Hebron. He also sent gifts to the other towns where he and his men had traveled.
