So David and his 600 men set out, and they came to the brook Besor.
to let all the king’s men move past to lead the way. There were 600 men from Gath who had come with David, along with the king’s bodyguard.
and his men and their families all moved to Judah, and they settled in the villages near Hebron.
So David took his 600 men and went over and joined Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
But 200 of the men were too exhausted to cross the brook, so David continued the pursuit with 400 men.
