1 Samuel 30 - Bíblia Online

And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 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. 
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 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 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 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. 
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 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 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. 14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire. 15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. 
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled. 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all. 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil. 
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. 22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart. 23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand. 24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike. 25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. 
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD; 27 To them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir, 28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa, 29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites, 30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach, 31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.

Sucedeu, pois, que, chegando Davi e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Ziclague, já os amalequitas tinham invadido o sul, e Ziclague, e tinham ferido a Ziclague e a tinham queimado a fogo. 
E tinham levado cativas as mulheres, e todos os que estavam nela, tanto pequenos como grandes; a ninguém, porém, mataram, tão-somente os levaram consigo, e foram o seu caminho. 
E Davi e os seus homens chegaram à cidade e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas tinham sido levados cativos. 
Então Davi e o povo que se achava com ele alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que neles não houve mais forças para chorar. 
Também as duas mulheres de Davi foram levadas cativas; Ainoã, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita. 
E Davi muito se angustiou, porque o povo falava de apedrejá-lo, porque a alma de todo o povo estava em amargura, cada um por causa dos seus filhos e das suas filhas; todavia Davi se fortaleceu no Senhor seu Deus. 
E disse Davi a Abiatar, o sacerdote, filho de Aimeleque: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi. 
Então consultou Davi ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? Alcançá-la-ei? E lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás e tudo libertarás. 
Partiu, pois, Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde pararam os que ficaram atrás. 
E perseguiu-os Davi, ele e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cansados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor. 
E acharam no campo um homem egípcio, e o trouxeram a Davi; deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber água. 
Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos e dois cachos de passas, e comeu, e voltou-lhe o seu espírito, porque havia três dias e três noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido água. 
Então Davi lhe disse: De quem és tu, e de onde és? E disse o moço egípcio: Sou servo de um homem amalequita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci há três dias. 
Nós invadimos o lado do sul dos queretitas, e o lado de Judá, e o lado do sul de Calebe, e pusemos fogo a Ziclague. 
E disse-lhe Davi: Poderias, descendo, guiar-me a essa tropa? E disse-lhe: Por Deus jura-me que não me matarás, nem me entregarás na mão de meu senhor, e, descendo, te guiarei a essa tropa. 
E, descendo, o guiou e eis que estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, e bebendo, e dançando, por todo aquele grande despojo que tomaram da terra dos filisteus e da terra de Judá. 
E feriu-os Davi, desde o crepúsculo até à tarde do dia seguinte; nenhum deles escapou, senão só quatrocentos moços que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram. 
Assim salvou Davi tudo quanto tomaram os amalequitas; também as suas duas mulheres salvou Davi. 
E ninguém lhes faltou, desde o menor até ao maior, e até os filhos e as filhas; e também desde o despojo até tudo quanto lhes tinham tomado, tudo Davi tornou a trazer. 
Também tomou Davi todas as ovelhas e vacas, e levavam-nas adiante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de Davi. 
E, chegando Davi aos duzentos homens que, de cansados que estavam, não puderam seguir a Davi, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes saíram ao encontro de Davi e do povo que com ele vinha; e, chegando-se Davi com o povo, os saudou em paz. 
Então todos os maus e perversos, dentre os homens que tinham ido com Davi, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertamos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá. 
Porém Davi disse: Não fareis assim, irmãos meus, com o que nos deu o Senhor, que nos guardou, e entregou a tropa que contra nós vinha, nas nossas mãos. 
E quem vos daria ouvidos nisso? Porque qual é a parte dos que desceram à peleja, tal também será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; igualmente repartirão. 
O que assim foi desde aquele dia em diante, porquanto o pôs por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje. 
E, chegando Davi a Ziclague, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aí para vós uma bênção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor; 
Aos de Betel, e aos de Ramote do sul, e aos de Jater, 
E aos de Aroer, e aos de Sifmote, e aos de Estemoa, 
E aos de Racal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerameelitas e nas cidades dos queneus, 
E aos de Hormá, e aos de Corasã, e aos de Ataca, 
E aos de Hebrom, e a todos os lugares em que andara Davi, ele e os seus homens.
