8 Then David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. (They had been living in that land for a long time, from the approach to Shur as far as the land of Egypt.)

9 When David would attack a district, he would leave neither man nor woman alive. He would take sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing and would then go back to Achish.

10 When Achish would ask, |Where did you raid today?| David would say, |The Negev of Judah| or |The Negev of Jeharmeel| or |The Negev of the Kenites.|
