But the servants of Achish said to him, “This is David, the king of the Israelites. He’s the man they dance and sing about, saying: ‘Saul has killed thousands of his enemies, but David has killed tens of thousands.’ ”
Then David said to them, “Put on your swords!” So they put on their swords, and David put on his also. About four hundred men went with David, but two hundred men stayed with the supplies.
Then David asked the Lord, “Should I chase the people who took our families? Will I catch them?” The Lord answered, “Chase them. You will catch them, and you will succeed in saving your families.”
