1. וַיְהִי בְּבֹא דָוִד וַאֲנָשָׁיו צִקְלַג בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וַעֲמָלֵקִי פָשְׁטוּ אֶל־נֶגֶב וְאֶל־צִקְלַג וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־צִקְלַג וַיִּשְׂרְפוּ אֹתָהּ בָּאֵשׁ ׃
1. And it came to pass H1961 , when David H1732 and his men H376 were come H935 to Ziklag H6860 on the third H7992 day H3117 , that the Amalekites H6003 had invaded H6584 H413 the south H5045 , and Ziklag H6860 , and smitten H5221 H853 Ziklag H6860 , and burned H8313 it with fire H784 ;
2. וַיִּשְׁבּוּ אֶת־הַנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ מִקָּטֹן וְעַד־גָּדוֹל לֹא הֵמִיתוּ אִישׁ וַיִּנְהֲגוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ לְדַרְכָּם ׃
2. And had taken the women captives H7617 H853 H802 , that H834 were therein : they slew H4191 not H3808 any H376 , either H5704 great H1419 or small H4480 H6996 , but carried them away H5090 , and went H1980 on their way H1870 .
3. וַיָּבֹא דָוִד וַאֲנָשָׁיו אֶל־הָעִיר וְהִנֵּה שְׂרוּפָה בָּאֵשׁ וּנְשֵׁיהֶם וּבְנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹתֵיהֶם נִשְׁבּוּ ׃
3. So David H1732 and his men H376 came H935 to H413 the city H5892 , and, behold H2009 , it was burned H8313 with fire H784 ; and their wives H802 , and their sons H1121 , and their daughters H1323 , were taken captives H7617 .
4. וַיִּשָּׂא דָוִד וְהָעָם אֲשֶׁר־אִתּוֹ אֶת־קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ עַד אֲשֶׁר אֵין־בָּהֶם כֹּחַ לִבְכּוֹת ׃
4. Then David H1732 and the people H5971 that H834 were with H854 him lifted up H5375 H853 their voice H6963 and wept H1058 , until H5704 H834 they had no more H369 power H3581 to weep H1058 .
5. וּשְׁתֵּי נְשֵׁי־דָוִד נִשְׁבּוּ אֲחִינֹעַם הַיִּזְרְעֵלִית וַאֲבִיגַיִל אֵשֶׁת נָבָל הַכַּרְמְלִי ׃
5. And David H1732 's two H8147 wives H802 were taken captives H7617 , Ahinoam H293 the Jezreelitess H3159 , and Abigail H26 the wife H802 of Nabal H5037 the Carmelite H3761 .
6. וַתֵּצֶר לְדָוִד מְאֹד כִּי־אָמְרוּ הָעָם לְסָקְלוֹ כִּי־מָרָה נֶפֶשׁ כָּל־הָעָם אִישׁ עַל־בְּנוֹ וְעַל־בְּנֹתָיו וַיִּתְחַזֵּק דָּוִד בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהָיו ׃ ס
6. And David H1732 was greatly H3966 distressed H3334 ; for H3588 the people H5971 spoke H559 of stoning H5619 him, because H3588 the soul H5315 of all H3605 the people H5971 was grieved H4843 , every man H376 for H5921 his sons H1121 and for H5921 his daughters H1323 : but David H1732 encouraged himself H2388 in the LORD H3068 his God H430 .
7. וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־אֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֵן בֶּן־אֲחִימֶלֶךְ הַגִּישָׁה־נָּא לִי הָאֵפֹד וַיַּגֵּשׁ אֶבְיָתָר אֶת־הָאֵפֹד אֶל־דָּוִד ׃
7. And David H1732 said H559 to H413 Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 , Ahimelech H288 's son H1121 , I pray thee H4994 , bring me hither H5066 the ephod H646 . And Abiathar H54 brought H5066 thither H853 the ephod H646 to H413 David H1732 .
8. וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה לֵאמֹר אֶרְדֹּף אַחֲרֵי הַגְּדוּד־הַזֶּה הַאַשִּׂגֶנּוּ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ רְדֹף כִּי־הַשֵּׂג תַּשִּׂיג וְהַצֵּל תַּצִּיל ׃
8. And David H1732 inquired H7592 at the LORD H3068 , saying H559 , Shall I pursue H7291 after H310 this H2088 troop H1416 ? shall I overtake H5381 them? And he answered H559 him, Pursue H7291 : for H3588 thou shalt surely overtake H5381 H5381 them , and without fail recover H5337 H5337 all .
9. וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד הוּא וְשֵׁשׁ־מֵאוֹת אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל הַבְּשׂוֹר וְהַנּוֹתָרִים עָמָדוּ ׃
9. So David H1732 went H1980 , he H1931 and the six H8337 hundred H3967 men H376 that H834 were with H854 him , and came H935 to H5704 the brook H5158 Besor H1308 , where those that were left behind H3498 stayed H5975 .
10. וַיִּרְדֹּף דָּוִד הוּא וְאַרְבַּע־מֵאוֹת אִישׁ וַיַּעַמְדוּ מָאתַיִם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר פִּגְּרוּ מֵעֲבֹר אֶת־נַחַל הַבְּשׂוֹר ׃
10. But David H1732 pursued H7291 , he H1931 and four H702 hundred H3967 men H376 : for two hundred H3967 H376 abode behind H5975 , which H834 were so faint H6296 that they could not go over H4480 H5674 H853 the brook H5158 Besor H1308 .
11. וַיִּמְצְאוּ אִישׁ־מִצְרִי בַּשָּׂדֶה וַיִּקְחוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל־דָּוִד וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ לֶחֶם וַיֹּאכַל וַיַּשְׁקֻהוּ מָיִם ׃
11. And they found H4672 an Egyptian H376 H4713 in the field H7704 , and brought H3947 him to H413 David H1732 , and gave H5414 him bread H3899 , and he did eat H398 ; and they made him drink H8248 water H4325 ;
12. וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ פֶלַח דְּבֵלָה וּשְׁנֵי צִמֻּקִים וַיֹּאכַל וַתָּשָׁב רוּחוֹ אֵלָיו כִּי לֹא־אָכַל לֶחֶם וְלֹא־שָׁתָה מַיִם שְׁלֹשָׁה יָמִים וּשְׁלֹשָׁה לֵילוֹת ׃ ס
12. And they gave H5414 him a piece H6400 of a cake of figs H1690 , and two H8147 clusters of raisins H6778 : and when he had eaten H398 , his spirit H7307 came again H7725 to H413 him: for H3588 he had eaten H398 no H3808 bread H3899 , nor H3808 drunk H8354 any water H4325 , three H7969 days H3117 and three H7969 nights H3915 .
13. וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ דָוִד לְמִי־אַתָּה וְאֵי מִזֶּה אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר נַעַר מִצְרִי אָנֹכִי עֶבֶד לְאִישׁ עֲמָלֵקִי וַיַּעַזְבֵנִי אֲדֹנִי כִּי חָלִיתִי הַיּוֹם שְׁלֹשָׁה ׃
13. And David H1732 said H559 unto him , To whom H4310 belongest thou H859 ? and whence H335 H4480 H2088 art thou H859 ? And he said H559 , I H595 am a young man H5288 of Egypt H4713 , servant H5650 to an Amalekite H376 H6003 ; and my master H113 left H5800 me, because H3588 three H7969 days H3117 ago I fell sick H2470 .
14. אֲנַחְנוּ פָּשַׁטְנוּ נֶגֶב הַכְּרֵתִי וְעַל־אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָה וְעַל־נֶגֶב כָּלֵב וְאֶת־צִקְלַג שָׂרַפְנוּ בָאֵשׁ ׃
14. We H587 made an invasion H6584 upon the south H5045 of the Cherethites H3774 , and upon H5921 the coast which H834 belongeth to Judah H3063 , and upon H5921 the south H5045 of Caleb H3612 ; and we burned H8313 Ziklag H6860 with fire H784 .
15. וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו דָּוִד הֲתוֹרִדֵנִי אֶל־הַגְּדוּד הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר הִשָּׁבְעָה לִּי בֵאלֹהִים אִם־תְּמִיתֵנִי וְאִם־תַּסְגִּרֵנִי בְּיַד־אֲדֹנִי וְאוֹרִדְךָ אֶל־הַגְּדוּד הַזֶּה ׃
15. And David H1732 said H559 to H413 him , Canst thou bring me down H3381 to H413 this H2088 company H1416 ? And he said H559 , Swear H7650 unto me by God H430 , that thou wilt neither H518 kill H4191 me, nor H518 deliver H5462 me into the hands H3027 of my master H113 , and I will bring thee down H3381 to H413 this H2088 company H1416 .
16. וַיֹּרִדֵהוּ וְהִנֵּה נְטֻשִׁים עַל־פְּנֵי כָל־הָאָרֶץ אֹכְלִים וְשֹׁתִים וְחֹגְגִים בְּכֹל הַשָּׁלָל הַגָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר לָקְחוּ מֵאֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה ׃
16. And when he had brought him down H3381 , behold H2009 , they were spread abroad H5203 upon H5921 H6440 all H3605 the earth H776 , eating H398 and drinking H8354 , and dancing H2287 , because of all H3605 the great H1419 spoil H7998 that H834 they had taken H3947 out of the land H4480 H776 of the Philistines H6430 , and out of the land H4480 H776 of Judah H3063 .
17. וַיַּכֵּם דָּוִד מֵהַנֶּשֶׁף וְעַד־הָעֶרֶב לְמָחֳרָתָם וְלֹא־נִמְלַט מֵהֶם אִישׁ כִּי אִם־אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ־נַעַר אֲשֶׁר־רָכְבוּ עַל־הַגְּמַלִּים וַיָּנֻסוּ ׃
17. And David H1732 smote H5221 them from the twilight H4480 H5399 even unto H5704 the evening H6153 of the next day H4283 : and there escaped H4422 not H3808 a man H376 of them, save H3588 H518 four H702 hundred H3967 young H5288 men H376 , which H834 rode H7392 upon H5921 camels H1581 , and fled H5127 .
18. וַיַּצֵּל דָּוִד אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לָקְחוּ עֲמָלֵק וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּי נָשָׁיו הִצִּיל דָּוִד ׃
18. And David H1732 recovered H5337 H853 all H3605 that H834 the Amalekites H6002 had carried away H3947 : and David H1732 rescued H5337 his two H8147 wives H802 .
19. וְלֹא נֶעְדַּר־לָהֶם מִן־הַקָּטֹן וְעַד־הַגָּדוֹל וְעַד־בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת וּמִשָּׁלָל וְעַד כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לָקְחוּ לָהֶם הַכֹּל הֵשִׁיב דָּוִד ׃
19. And there was nothing H3808 lacking H5737 to them, neither H4480 small H6996 nor H5704 great H1419 , neither H5704 sons H1121 nor daughters H1323 , neither spoil H4480 H7998 , nor H5704 any H3605 thing that H834 they had taken H3947 to them: David H1732 recovered H7725 all H3605 .
20. וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד אֶת־כָּל־הַצֹּאן וְהַבָּקָר נָהֲגוּ לִפְנֵי הַמִּקְנֶה הַהוּא וַיֹּאמְרוּ זֶה שְׁלַל דָּוִד ׃
20. And David H1732 took H3947 H853 all H3605 the flocks H6629 and the herds H1241 , which they drove H5090 before H6440 those H1931 other cattle H4735 , and said H559 , This H2088 is David H1732 's spoil H7998 .
21. וַיָּבֹא דָוִד אֶל־מָאתַיִם הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־פִּגְּרוּ מִלֶּכֶת אַחֲרֵי דָוִד וַיֹּשִׁיבֻם בְּנַחַל הַבְּשׂוֹר וַיֵּצְאוּ לִקְרַאת דָּוִד וְלִקְרַאת הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־אִתּוֹ וַיִּגַּשׁ דָּוִד אֶת־הָעָם וַיִּשְׁאַל לָהֶם לְשָׁלוֹם ׃ ס
21. And David H1732 came H935 to H413 the two hundred H3967 men H376 , which H834 were so faint H6296 that they could not follow H1980 H310 David H1732 , whom they had made also to abide H3427 at the brook H5158 Besor H1308 : and they went forth H3318 to meet H7125 David H1732 , and to meet H7125 the people H5971 that H834 were with H854 him : and when David H1732 came near H5066 to H853 the people H5971 , he saluted H7592 H7965 them.
22. וַיַּעַן כָּל־אִישׁ־רָע וּבְלִיַּעַל מֵהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ עִם־דָּוִד וַיֹּאמְרוּ יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־הָלְכוּ עִמִּי לֹא־נִתֵּן לָהֶם מֵהַשָּׁלָל אֲשֶׁר הִצַּלְנוּ כִּי־אִם־אִישׁ אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת־בָּנָיו וְיִנְהֲגוּ וְיֵלֵכוּ ׃ ס
22. Then answered H6030 all H3605 the wicked H7451 men H376 and men of Belial H1100 , of those H4480 H376 that H834 went H1980 with H5973 David H1732 , and said H559 , Because H3282 H834 they went H1980 not H3808 with H5973 us , we will not H3808 give H5414 them aught of the spoil H4480 H7998 that H834 we have recovered H5337 , save H3588 H518 to every man H376 H853 his wife H802 and his children H1121 , that they may lead them away H5090 , and depart H1980 .
23. וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לֹא־תַעֲשׂוּ כֵן אֶחָי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־נָתַן יְהוָה לָנוּ וַיִּשְׁמֹר אֹתָנוּ וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־הַגְּדוּד הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ בְּיָדֵנוּ ׃
23. Then said H559 David H1732 , Ye shall not H3808 do H6213 so H3651 , my brethren H251 , with H854 that which H834 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 us , who hath preserved H8104 us , and delivered H5414 H853 the company H1416 that came H935 against H5921 us into our hand H3027 .
24. וּמִי יִשְׁמַע לָכֶם לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כִּי כְּחֵלֶק הַיֹּרֵד בַּמִּלְחָמָה וּכְחֵלֶק הַיֹּשֵׁב עַל־הַכֵּלִים יַחְדָּו יַחֲלֹקוּ ׃ ס
24. For who H4310 will hearken H8085 unto you in this H2088 matter H1697 ? but H3588 as his part H2506 is that goeth down H3381 to the battle H4421 , so shall his part H2506 be that tarrieth H3427 by H5921 the stuff H3627 : they shall part H2505 alike H3162 .
25. וַיְהִי מֵהַיּוֹם הַהוּא וָמָעְלָה וַיְשִׂמֶהָ לְחֹק וּלְמִשְׁפָּט לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה ׃ פ
25. And it was H1961 so from that day H4480 H3117 H1931 forward H4605 , that he made H7760 it a statute H2706 and an ordinance H4941 for Israel H3478 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
26. וַיָּבֹא דָוִד אֶל־צִקְלַג וַיְשַׁלַּח מֵהַשָּׁלָל לְזִקְנֵי יְהוּדָה לְרֵעֵהוּ לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה לָכֶם בְּרָכָה מִשְּׁלַל אֹיְבֵי יְהוָה ׃
26. And when David H1732 came H935 to H413 Ziklag H6860 , he sent H7971 of the spoil H4480 H7998 unto the elders H2205 of Judah H3063 , even to his friends H7453 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 a present H1293 for you of the spoil H4480 H7998 of the enemies H341 of the LORD H3068 ;
27. לַאֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית־אֵל וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּרָמוֹת־נֶגֶב וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּיַתִּר ׃
27. To them which H834 were in Bethel H1008 , and to them which H834 were in south H5045 Ramoth H7418 , and to them which H834 were in Jattir H3492 ,
28. וְלַאֲשֶׁר בַּעֲרֹעֵר וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּשִׂפְמוֹת וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּאֶשְׁתְּמֹעַ ׃ ס
28. And to them which H834 were in Aroer H6177 , and to them which H834 were in Siphmoth H8224 , and to them which H834 were in Eshtemoa H851 ,
29. וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּרָכָל וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּעָרֵי הַיְּרַחְמְאֵלִי וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּעָרֵי הַקֵּינִי ׃
29. And to them which H834 were in Rachal H7403 , and to them which H834 were in the cities H5892 of the Jerahmeelites H3397 , and to them which H834 were in the cities H5892 of the Kenites H7017 ,
30. וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּחָרְמָה וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּבוֹר־עָשָׁן וְלַאֲשֶׁר בַעֲתָךְ ׃
30. And to them which H834 were in Hormah H2767 , and to them which H834 were in Chor H3565 -ashan , and to them which H834 were in Athach H6269 ,
31. וְלַאֲשֶׁר בְּחֶבְרוֹן וּלְכָל־הַמְּקֹמוֹת אֲשֶׁר־הִתְהַלֶּךְ־שָׁם דָּוִד הוּא וַאֲנָשָׁיו ׃ פ
31. And to them which H834 were in Hebron H2275 , and to all H3605 the places H4725 where H834 H8033 David H1732 himself H1931 and his men H376 were wont to haunt H1980 .
