## 1 Samuel 30:9-10 in Context (Verses 6–13 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/6) And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/7) And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/8) And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake *them*, and without fail recover *all*.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/9) So David went, he and the six hundred men that *were* with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/10) But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/11) ¶ And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/12) And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk *any* water, three days and three nights.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/30/13) And David said unto him, To whom *belongest* thou? and whence *art* thou? And he said, I *am* a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
