1 Samuel 30 KJV

¹And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;וַיְהִ֞י בְּבֹ֨א דָוִ֧ד וַאֲנָשָׁ֛יו צִֽקְלַ֖ג בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֑י וַעֲמָלֵקִ֣י פָֽשְׁט֗וּ אֶל נֶ֨גֶב֙ וְאֶל צִ֣קְלַ֔ג וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת צִ֣קְלַ֔ג וַיִּשְׂרְפ֥וּ אֹתָ֖הּ בָּאֵֽשׁ
²And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.וַיִּשְׁבּ֨וּ אֶת הַנָּשִׁ֤ים אֲשֶׁר מִקָּטֹ֣ן וְעַד גָּד֔וֹל לֹ֥א הֵמִ֖יתוּ אִ֑ישׁ וַיִּֽנְהֲג֔וּ וַיֵּלְכ֖וּ לְדַרְכָּֽם
³So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.וַיָּבֹ֨א דָוִ֤ד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו֙ אֶל הָעִ֔יר וְהִנֵּ֥ה שְׂרוּפָ֖ה בָּאֵ֑שׁ וּנְשֵׁיהֶ֛ם וּבְנֵיהֶ֥ם וּבְנֹתֵיהֶ֖ם נִשְׁבּֽוּ
⁴Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.וַיִּשָּׂ֨א דָוִ֜ד וְהָעָ֧ם אֲשֶׁר אִתּ֛וֹ אֶת קוֹלָ֖ם וַיִּבְכּ֑וּ עַ֣ד אֲשֶׁ֧ר אֵין כֹּ֖חַ לִבְכּֽוֹת
⁵And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.וּשְׁתֵּ֥י נְשֵֽׁי דָוִ֖ד נִשְׁבּ֑וּ אֲחִינֹ֨עַם֙ הַיִּזְרְעֵלִ֔ית וַאֲבִיגַ֕יִל אֵ֖שֶׁת נָבָ֥ל הַֽכַּרְמְלִֽי
⁶And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.וַתֵּ֨צֶר לְדָוִ֜ד מְאֹ֗ד כִּֽי אָמְר֤וּ הָעָם֙ לְסָקְל֔וֹ כִּֽי מָ֨רָה֙ נֶ֣פֶשׁ כָּל הָעָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ עַל בנו בָּנָ֣יו וְעַל בְּנֹתָ֑יו וַיִּתְחַזֵּ֣ק דָּוִ֔ד בַּיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהָֽיו
⁷And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֗ד אֶל אֶבְיָתָ֤ר הַכֹּהֵן֙ בֶּן אֲחִימֶ֔לֶךְ הַגִּֽישָׁה נָּ֥א הָאֵפֹ֑ד וַיַּגֵּ֧שׁ אֶבְיָתָ֛ר אֶת הָאֵפֹ֖ד אֶל דָּוִֽד
⁸And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤ד בַּֽיהוָה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אֶרְדֹּ֛ף אַחֲרֵ֥י הַגְּדוּד הַזֶּ֖ה הַֽאַשִּׂגֶ֑נּוּ וַיֹּ֤אמֶר רְדֹ֔ף כִּֽי הַשֵּׂ֥ג תַּשִּׂ֖יג וְהַצֵּ֥ל תַּצִּֽיל
⁹So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֗ד ה֚וּא וְשֵׁשׁ מֵא֥וֹת אִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ עַד נַ֣חַל הַבְּשׂ֑וֹר וְהַנּֽוֹתָרִ֖ים עָמָֽדוּ
¹⁰But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.וַיִּרְדֹּ֣ף דָּוִ֔ד ה֖וּא וְאַרְבַּע מֵא֣וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ֙ מָאתַ֣יִם אִ֔ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר פִּגְּר֔וּ מֵעֲבֹ֖ר אֶת נַ֥חַל הַבְּשֽׂוֹר
¹¹And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;וַֽיִּמְצְא֤וּ אִישׁ מִצְרִי֙ בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וַיִּקְח֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ אֶל דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּתְּנוּ לֶ֨חֶם֙ וַיֹּ֔אכַל וַיַּשְׁקֻ֖הוּ מָֽיִם
¹²And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.וַיִּתְּנוּ פֶ֨לַח דְּבֵלָ֜ה וּשְׁנֵ֤י צִמֻּקִים֙ וַיֹּ֔אכַל וַתָּ֥שָׁב רוּח֖וֹ אֵלָ֑יו כִּ֠י לֹֽא אָ֤כַל לֶ֨חֶם֙ וְלֹא שָׁ֣תָה מַ֔יִם שְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה יָמִ֖ים וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה לֵילֽוֹת
¹³And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָוִד֙ לְֽמִי אַ֔תָּה וְאֵ֥י מִזֶּ֖ה אָ֑תָּה וַיֹּ֜אמֶר נַ֧עַר מִצְרִ֣י אָנֹ֗כִי עֶ֚בֶד לְאִ֣ישׁ עֲמָֽלֵקִ֔י וַיַּעַזְבֵ֧נִי אֲדֹנִ֛י כִּ֥י חָלִ֖יתִי הַיּ֥וֹם שְׁלֹשָֽׁה
¹⁴We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.אֲנַ֡חְנוּ פָּשַׁ֜טְנוּ נֶ֧גֶב הַכְּרֵתִ֛י וְעַל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לִֽיהוּדָ֖ה וְעַל נֶ֣גֶב כָּלֵ֑ב וְאֶת צִקְלַ֖ג שָׂרַ֥פְנוּ בָאֵֽשׁ
¹⁵And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ דָּוִ֔ד הֲתוֹרִדֵ֖נִי אֶל הַגְּד֣וּד הַזֶּ֑ה וַיֹּ֡אמֶר הִשָּׁבְעָה֩ בֵֽאלֹהִ֜ים אִם תְּמִיתֵ֗נִי וְאִם תַּסְגִּרֵ֨נִי֙ בְּיַד אֲדֹנִ֔י וְאוֹרִֽדְךָ֖ אֶל הַגְּד֥וּד הַזֶּֽה
¹⁶And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.וַיֹּ֣רִדֵ֔הוּ וְהִנֵּ֥ה נְטֻשִׁ֖ים עַל פְּנֵ֣י כָל הָאָ֑רֶץ אֹכְלִ֤ים וְשֹׁתִים֙ וְחֹ֣גְגִ֔ים בְּכֹל֙ הַשָּׁלָ֣ל הַגָּד֔וֹל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָקְח֛וּ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וּמֵאֶ֥רֶץ יְהוּדָֽה
¹⁷And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.וַיַּכֵּ֥ם דָּוִ֛ד מֵהַנֶּ֥שֶׁף וְעַד הָעֶ֖רֶב לְמָֽחֳרָתָ֑ם וְלֹֽא נִמְלַ֤ט אִ֔ישׁ כִּי֩ אִם אַרְבַּ֨ע מֵא֧וֹת אִֽישׁ נַ֛עַר אֲשֶׁר רָכְב֥וּ עַל הַגְּמַלִּ֖ים וַיָּנֻֽסוּ
¹⁸And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.וַיַּצֵּ֣ל דָּוִ֔ד אֵ֛ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָקְח֖וּ עֲמָלֵ֑ק וְאֶת שְׁתֵּ֥י נָשָׁ֖יו הִצִּ֥יל דָּוִֽד
¹⁹And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.וְלֹ֣א נֶעְדַּר מִן הַקָּטֹ֨ן וְעַד הַגָּד֜וֹל וְעַד בָּנִ֤ים וּבָנוֹת֙ וּמִשָּׁלָ֔ל וְעַ֛ד כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָקְח֖וּ הַכֹּ֖ל הֵשִׁ֥יב דָּוִֽד
²⁰And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.וַיִּקַּ֣ח דָּוִ֔ד אֶת כָּל הַצֹּ֖אן וְהַבָּקָ֑ר נָהֲג֗וּ לִפְנֵי֙ הַמִּקְנֶ֣ה הַה֔וּא וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ זֶ֖ה שְׁלַ֥ל דָּוִֽד
²¹And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.וַיָּבֹ֣א דָוִ֗ד אֶל מָאתַ֨יִם הָאֲנָשִׁ֜ים אֲשֶֽׁר פִּגְּר֣וּ מִלֶּ֣כֶת אַחֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֗ד וַיֹּֽשִׁיבֻם֙ בְּנַ֣חַל הַבְּשׂ֔וֹר וַיֵּֽצְאוּ֙ לִקְרַ֣את דָּוִ֔ד וְלִקְרַ֖את הָעָ֣ם אֲשֶׁר אִתּ֑וֹ וַיִּגַּ֤שׁ דָּוִד֙ אֶת הָעָ֔ם וַיִּשְׁאַ֥ל לְשָׁלֽוֹם
²²Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.וַיַּ֜עַן כָּל אִֽישׁ רָ֣ע וּבְלִיַּ֗עַל מֵֽהָאֲנָשִׁים֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָלְכ֣וּ עִם דָּוִד֒ וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ יַ֚עַן אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא הָלְכ֣וּ עִמִּ֔י לֹֽא נִתֵּ֣ן מֵהַשָּׁלָ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִצַּ֑לְנוּ כִּֽי אִם אִ֤ישׁ אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ֙ וְאֶת בָּנָ֔יו וְיִנְהֲג֖וּ וְיֵלֵֽכוּ
²³Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔ד לֹֽא תַעֲשׂ֥וּ כֵ֖ן אֶחָ֑י אֵ֠ת אֲשֶׁר נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֥ה וַיִּשְׁמֹ֣ר אֹתָ֔נוּ וַיִּתֵּ֗ן אֶֽת הַגְּד֛וּד הַבָּ֥א עָלֵ֖ינוּ בְּיָדֵֽנוּ
²⁴For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.וּמִי֙ יִשְׁמַ֣ע לַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה כִּ֞י כְּחֵ֣לֶק הַיֹּרֵ֣ד בַּמִּלְחָמָ֗ה וּֽכְחֵ֛לֶק הַיֹּשֵׁ֥ב עַל הַכֵּלִ֖ים יַחְדָּ֥ו יַחֲלֹֽקוּ
²⁵And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.וַיְהִ֕י מֵֽהַיּ֥וֹם הַה֖וּא וָמָ֑עְלָה וַיְשִׂמֶ֜הָ לְחֹ֤ק וּלְמִשְׁפָּט֙ לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה
²⁶And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;וַיָּבֹ֤א דָוִד֙ אֶל צִ֣קְלַ֔ג וַיְשַׁלַּ֧ח מֵֽהַשָּׁלָ֛ל לְזִקְנֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה לְרֵעֵ֣הוּ לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֤ה בְּרָכָ֔ה מִשְּׁלַ֖ל אֹיְבֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
²⁷To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,לַאֲשֶׁ֧ר אֵ֛ל וְלַאֲשֶׁ֥ר נֶ֖גֶב וְלַאֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּיַתִּֽר
²⁸And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,וְלַאֲשֶׁ֧ר בַּעֲרֹעֵ֛ר וְלַאֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּשִֽׂפְמ֖וֹת וְלַאֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּאֶשְׁתְּמֹֽעַ
²⁹And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,וְלַאֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּרָכָ֗ל וְלַֽאֲשֶׁר֙ בְּעָרֵ֣י הַיְּרַחְמְאֵלִ֔י וְלַאֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעָרֵ֥י הַקֵּינִֽי
³⁰And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,וְלַאֲשֶׁ֧ר בְּחָרְמָ֛ה וְלַאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׁ֖ן וְלַאֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּעֲתָֽךְ
³¹And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.וְלַאֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּחֶבְר֑וֹן וּֽלְכָל הַמְּקֹמ֛וֹת אֲשֶֽׁר הִתְהַלֶּךְ שָׁ֥ם דָּוִ֖ד ה֥וּא וַאֲנָשָֽׁיו
