1 Samuel 30 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H1732And it came to pass, when DavidH582and his menH935were come[H8800] H6860to ZiklagH7992on the thirdH3117dayH6003, that the AmalekitesH6584had invaded[H8804] H5045the southH6860, and ZiklagH5221, and smitten[H8686] H6860ZiklagH8313, and burned[H8799] H784it with fire;

² H802And had taken the womenH7617captives[H8799] H4191, that were therein: they slew[H8689] H376not anyH1419, either greatH6996or smallH5090, but carried them away[H8799] H3212, and went[H8799] H1870on their way.

³ H1732So DavidH582and his menH935came[H8799] H5892to the cityH8313, and, behold, it was burned[H8803] H784with fireH802; and their wivesH1121, and their sonsH1323, and their daughtersH7617, were taken captives[H8738] .

⁴ H1732Then DavidH5971and the peopleH5375that were with him lifted up[H8799] H6963their voiceH1058and wept[H8799] H3581, until they had no more powerH1058to weep[H8800] .

⁵ H1732And David'sH8147twoH802wivesH7617were taken captives[H8738] H293, AhinoamH3159the JezreelitessH26, and AbigailH802the wifeH5037of NabalH3761the Carmelite.

⁶ H1732And DavidH3966was greatlyH3334distressed[H8799] H5971; for the peopleH559spake[H8804] H5619of stoning[H8800] H5315him, because the soulH5971of all the peopleH4843was grieved[H8804] H376, every manH1121for his sonsH1323and for his daughtersH1732: but DavidH2388encouraged[H8691] H3068himself in the LORDH430his God.

⁷ H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H54to AbiatharH3548the priestH288, Ahimelech'sH1121sonH5066, I pray thee, bring me hither[H8685] H646the ephodH54. And AbiatharH5066brought[H8686] H646thither the ephodH1732to David.

⁸ H1732And DavidH7592enquired[H8799] H3068at the LORDH559, saying[H8800] H7291, Shall I pursue[H8799] H310afterH1416this troopH5381? shall I overtake[H8686] H559them? And he answered[H8799] H7291him, Pursue[H8798] H5381: for thou shalt surely[H8687] H5381overtake[H8686] H5337them, and without fail[H8687] H5337recover[H8686]  all .

⁹ H1732So DavidH3212went[H8799] H8337, he and the sixH3967hundredH376menH935that were with him, and came[H8799] H5158to the brookH1308BesorH3498, where those that were left behind[H8737] H5975stayed[H8804] .

¹⁰ H1732But DavidH7291pursued[H8799] H702, he and fourH3967hundredH376menH3967: for two hundredH5975abode behind[H8799] H6296, which were so faint[H8765] H5674that they could not go over[H8800] H5158the brookH1308Besor.

¹¹ H4672And they found[H8799] H376an EgyptianH4713 H7704in the fieldH3947, and brought[H8799] H1732him to DavidH5414, and gave[H8799] H3899him breadH398, and he did eat[H8799] H8248; and they made him drink[H8686] H4325water;

¹² H5414And they gave[H8799] H6400him a pieceH1690of a cakeH8147of figs, and twoH6778clusters of raisinsH398: and when he had eaten[H8799] H7307, his spiritH7725came again[H8799] H398to him: for he had eaten[H8804] H3899no breadH8354, nor drunk[H8804] H4325any waterH7969, threeH3117daysH7969and threeH3915nights.

¹³ H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H559unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said[H8799] H5288, I am a young manH4713of EgyptH5650, servantH376to an AmalekiteH6003 H113; and my masterH5800left[H8799] H7969me, because threeH3117daysH2470agone I fell sick[H8804] .

¹⁴ H6584We made an invasion[H8804] H5045upon the southH3774of the CherethitesH3063, and upon the coast which belongeth to JudahH5045, and upon the southH3612of CalebH8313; and we burned[H8804] H6860ZiklagH784with fire.

¹⁵ H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H3381to him, Canst thou bring me down[H8686] H1416to this companyH559? And he said[H8799] H7650, Swear[H8734] H430unto me by GodH4191, that thou wilt neither kill[H8686] H518me, norH5462deliver[H8686] H3027me into the handsH113of my masterH3381, and I will bring thee down[H8686] H1416to this company.

¹⁶ H3381And when he had brought him down[H8686] H5203, behold, they were spread abroad[H8803] H6440upon allH776the earthH398, eating[H8802] H8354and drinking[H8802] H2287, and dancing[H8802] H1419, because of all the greatH7998spoilH3947that they had taken[H8804] H776out of the landH6430of the PhilistinesH776, and out of the landH3063of Judah.

¹⁷ H1732And DavidH5221smote[H8686] H5399them from the twilightH6153even unto the eveningH4283of the next dayH4422: and there escaped[H8738] H376not a manH702of them, save fourH3967hundredH5288youngH376menH7392, which rode[H8804] H1581upon camelsH5127, and fled[H8799] .

¹⁸ H1732And DavidH5337recovered[H8686] H6002all that the AmalekitesH3947had carried away[H8804] H1732: and DavidH5337rescued[H8689] H8147his twoH802wives.

¹⁹ H5737And there was nothing lacking[H8738] H4480to them, neitherH6996smallH1419nor greatH1121, neither sonsH1323nor daughtersH7998, neither spoilH3947, nor any thing that they had taken[H8804] H1732to them: DavidH7725recovered[H8689]  all.

²⁰ H1732And DavidH3947took[H8799] H6629all the flocksH1241and the herdsH5090, which they drave[H8804] H6440beforeH1931thoseH4735other cattleH559, and said[H8799] H1732, This is David'sH7998spoil.

²¹ H1732And DavidH935came[H8799] H3967to the two hundredH582menH6296, which were so faint[H8765] H3212that they could not follow[H8800] H310 H1732DavidH3427, whom they had made also to abide[H8686] H5158at the brookH1308BesorH3318: and they went forth[H8799] H7125to meet[H8800] H1732DavidH7125, and to meet[H8800] H5971the peopleH1732that were with him: and when DavidH5066came near[H8799] H5971to the peopleH7592, he saluted[H8799] H7965  them.

²² H6030Then answered[H8799] H7451all the wickedH376menH1100and men of BelialH582, of thoseH1980that went[H8804] H1732with DavidH559, and said[H8799] H1980, Because they went[H8804] H5414not with us, we will not give[H8799] H7998them ought of the spoilH5337that we have recovered[H8689] H376, save to every manH802his wifeH1121and his childrenH5090, that they may lead them away[H8799] H3212, and depart[H8799] .

²³ H559Then said[H8799] H1732DavidH6213, Ye shall not do so[H8799] H251, my brethrenH3068, with that which the LORDH5414hath given[H8804] H8104us, who hath preserved[H8799] H5414us, and delivered[H8799] H1416the companyH935that came[H8802] H3027against us into our hand.

²⁴ H8085For who will hearken[H8799] H1697unto you in this matterH2506? but as his partH3381is that goeth down[H8802] [H8675] H3381 [H8717] H4421to the battleH2506, so shall his partH3427be that tarrieth[H8802] H3627by the stuffH2505: they shall part[H8799] H3162alike.

²⁵ H3117And it was so from that dayH4605forwardH7760, that he made[H8799] H2706it a statuteH4941and an ordinanceH3478for IsraelH3117unto this day.

²⁶ H1732And when DavidH935came[H8799] H6860to ZiklagH7971, he sent[H8762] H7998of the spoilH2205unto the eldersH3063of JudahH7453, even to his friendsH559, saying[H8800] H1293, Behold a presentH7998for you of the spoilH341of the enemies[H8802] H3068of the LORD;

²⁷ H834To themH1008which were in BethelH5045, and to them which were in southH7418RamothH3492, and to them which were in Jattir,

²⁸ H6177And to them which were in AroerH8224, and to them which were in SiphmothH851, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,

²⁹ H7403And to them which were in RachalH5892, and to them which were in the citiesH3397of the JerahmeelitesH5892, and to them which were in the citiesH7017of the Kenites,

³⁰ H2767And to them which were in HormahH3565, and to them which were in ChorashanH6269, and to them which were in Athach,

³¹ H2275And to them which were in HebronH4725, and to all the placesH1732where DavidH582himself and his menH1980were wont to haunt[H8694] .
