3 And|strong="H1121" when|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" and|strong="H1121" his|strong="H1732" men|strong="H1121" came|strong="H1323" to|strong="H1121" the|strong="H8313" city|strong="H5892", behold|strong="H2009", it|strong="H2009" was|strong="H1732" burned|strong="H8313" with|strong="H8313" fire; and|strong="H1121" their|strong="H8313" wives, and|strong="H1121" their|strong="H8313" sons|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" their|strong="H8313" daughters|strong="H1323", were|strong="H1121" taken|strong="H7617" captives|strong="H7617".
4 Then|strong="H5375" David|strong="H1732" and|strong="H5971" the|strong="H5375" people|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" were|strong="H5971" with|strong="H5971" him|strong="H6963" lifted|strong="H5375" up|strong="H5375" their|strong="H5375" voice|strong="H6963" and|strong="H5971" wept|strong="H1058", until|strong="H5704" they|strong="H5704" had|strong="H1732" no|strong="H5375" more|strong="H5704" power|strong="H3581" to|strong="H5704" weep|strong="H1058".

6 And|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" was|strong="H3068" greatly|strong="H3966" distressed|strong="H3334"; for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" spake|strong="H3068" of|strong="H1121" stoning|strong="H5619" him|strong="H5921", because|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" soul|strong="H5315" of|strong="H1121" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" was|strong="H3068" grieved, every|strong="H3605" man|strong="H1121" for|strong="H3588" his|strong="H3605" sons|strong="H1121" and|strong="H1121" for|strong="H3588" his|strong="H3605" daughters|strong="H1323": but|strong="H3588" David|strong="H1732" strengthened|strong="H2388" himself|strong="H5315" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3605" God|strong="H3068".
7 And|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" said to|strong="H1121" Abiathar the|strong="H3548" priest|strong="H3548", the|strong="H3548" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ahimelech, I|strong="H1121" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H4994", bring|strong="H5066" me|strong="H4994" hither|strong="H5066" the|strong="H3548" ephod. And|strong="H1121" Abiathar brought|strong="H5066" thither|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3548" ephod to|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732".
8 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" inquired|strong="H7592" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068", saying, If|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" pursue|strong="H7291" after|strong="H7291" this|strong="H2088" troop|strong="H1416", shall|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3588" overtake|strong="H5381" them|strong="H7291"?

12 And|strong="H7725" they|strong="H3588" gave|strong="H5414" him|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" piece|strong="H6400" of|strong="H3117" a|strong="H3068" cake|strong="H1690" of|strong="H3117" figs|strong="H1690", and|strong="H7725" two|strong="H8147" clusters|strong="H6778" of|strong="H3117" raisins|strong="H6778"; and|strong="H7725" when|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3588" eaten, his|strong="H5414" spirit|strong="H7307" came|strong="H7725" again|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" him|strong="H5414": for|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3588" eaten no|strong="H3808" bread|strong="H3899", nor|strong="H3808" drunk|strong="H8354" any|strong="H5414" water|strong="H4325", three|strong="H7969" days|strong="H3117" and|strong="H7725" three|strong="H7969" nights|strong="H3915".
13 And|strong="H3117" David|strong="H1732" said unto|strong="H2470" him|strong="H1732", To|strong="H3117" whom|strong="H4310" belongest thou|strong="H3588"? and|strong="H3117" whence art thou|strong="H3588"? And|strong="H3117" he|strong="H3588" said, I|strong="H3588" am|strong="H2470" a|strong="H3068" young|strong="H5288" man|strong="H5288" of|strong="H3117" Egypt|strong="H4713", servant|strong="H5650" to|strong="H3117" an|strong="H3588" Amalekite|strong="H6003"; and|strong="H3117" my|strong="H1732" master left|strong="H5800" me|strong="H5800", because|strong="H3588" three|strong="H7969" days|strong="H3117" agone I|strong="H3588" fell|strong="H2470" sick|strong="H2470".
14 We made|strong="H6584" a|strong="H3068" raid|strong="H6584" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" South|strong="H5045" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" Cherethites|strong="H3774", and|strong="H3063" upon|strong="H5921" that|strong="H3063" which|strong="H3063" belongeth to|strong="H5921" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H3063" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" South|strong="H5045" of|strong="H5921" Caleb|strong="H3612"; and|strong="H3063" we|strong="H3068" burned|strong="H8313" Ziklag|strong="H6860" with|strong="H8313" fire.

And|strong="H3027" he|strong="H1732" said, Swear|strong="H7650" unto|strong="H7650" me|strong="H4191" by|strong="H3027" God|strong="H3027", that|strong="H2088" thou|strong="H3027" wilt neither kill|strong="H4191" me|strong="H4191", nor deliver|strong="H5462" me|strong="H4191" up|strong="H5462" into|strong="H3381" the|strong="H3027" hands|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3027" my|strong="H1732" master, and|strong="H3027" I|strong="H2088" will|strong="H3027" bring|strong="H3381" thee|strong="H3027" down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H3381" this|strong="H2088" troop|strong="H1416".
