The following were the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still banned from the presence of Saul son of Kish. They were among the warriors who helped him in battle.
But Achish’s servants said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Don’t they sing about him during their dances: Saul has killed his thousands, but David his tens of thousands? ”
He said to his men, “All of you, put on your swords! ” So David and all his men put on their swords. About 400 men followed David while 200 stayed with the supplies.
and David asked the Lord: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them? ” The Lord replied to him, “Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them and rescue the people.”
