1 Samuel 30:13-15 ▼

13 Then David (beloved) asked him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” “I am an Egyptian (double straits),” he replied, “the slave of an Amalekite (people of lapping). My master abandoned me three days ago when I fell ill.

14 We raided the Negev (southland) of the Cherethites (executioners), the territory of Judah (praised), and the Negev of Caleb (dog), and we burned down Ziklag (winding).”

15 “Will you lead me to these raiders?” David (beloved) asked. And the man replied, “Swear to me by God {Elohim} that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hand of my master, and I will lead you to them.”
