1 Samuel 30 - Bíblia Online

Três dias mais tarde quando David, acompanhado dos seus homens, chegou a casa na cidade de Ziclague, constatou que os amalequitas tinham feito uma incursão na cidade e queimado tudo inteiramente, levando consigo mulheres e crianças. Ao olharem para aquilo, e ao darem-se conta do que acontecera às suas famílias, choraram todos dolorosamente. 
As duas mulheres de David, Ainoã e Abigail, encontravam-se também entre as cativas. 
David estava seriamente preocupado, porque os homens, na sua grande dor por causa dos filhos que os amalequitas lhes tinham levado, falavam até de o apedrejarem. No entanto David tomou forças no Senhor seu Deus. 
Então disse ao sacerdote Abiatar: Traz-me aqui o éfode! E perguntou ao Senhor: Vou no encalço deles? Apanhá-los-emos? O Senhor respondeu-lhe: Vai, persegue-os; recuperarás tudo o que eles vos levaram! 
David, mais os outros seiscentos homens, partiram atrás dos amalequitas. Quando alcançaram o ribeiro de Besor, duzentos deles estavam de tal maneira exaustos que nem conseguiram atravessá-lo; mas os outros quatrocentos prosseguiram na corrida. Pelo caminho, a certa altura encontraram um moço egípcio num campo e trouxeram-no a David. O rapaz não tinha comido nem bebido nada durante três dias e três noites; deram-lhe parte dum bolo de figos, duas mãos-cheias de uvas secas, água para beber, e depois disso recuperou as forças. 
Quem és tu? Donde vens?, perguntou-lhe David.Sou egípcio, servo dum amalequita. O meu senhor abandonou-me há três dias porque eu estava muito doente. Vínhamos de uma incursão militar no Negueve e também no sul de Judá, e ainda na terra de Calebe; também destruímos Ziclague. 
Podes dizer-me para onde foram eles? Se me jurares em nome de Deus que não me matas nem me entregas de novo ao meu amo, então guiar-te-ei até eles. 
E assim levou-os ao acampamento dos amalequitas. Estavam todos espalhados numa grande área daquela terra, comendo, bebendo, dançando de alegria por causa do enorme despojo que tinham trazido da Filisteia e de Judá. David e os companheiros saltaram-lhes em cima e mataram neles durante a noite toda, mais o dia seguinte até ao anoitecer. Os únicos que conseguiram escapar foram quatrocentos rapazes que fugiram montados em camelos. David recuperou tudo o que eles tinham levado. Os homens retomaram as famílias e os haveres; David pôde libertar as suas duas mulheres. Toda a gente juntou o gado e os rebanhos, conduzindo-os diante de si e exclamavam: Este é o teu despojo, David! 
Quando chegaram de novo ao ribeiro de Besor e se juntaram aos tais duzentos que não tinham podido continuar por se encontrarem esgotados, sem forças, David saudou-os pacificamente. Mas alguns dos que vinham com David, homens ruins, perversos, começaram a dizer: Esses não vieram connosco, não hão-de de ter parte no despojo. Que se lhes dê as mulheres e os filhos e que se vão embora. 
Não, meus irmãos! O Senhor guardou-nos e ajudou-nos a derrotar o inimigo. Numa altura destas alguém poderia dar ouvidos a uma tal proposta? Vamos todos repartir o que obtivemos irmãmente - os que foram à batalha e os que guardaram as bagagens. 
Foi então que David fez disso uma lei em todo o Israel, e que ainda hoje é válida. 
Quando chegou a Ziclague enviou parte do saque aos anciãos de Judá: Isto é um presente para vocês, tirado aos inimigos do Senhor, escreveu-lhes. Estes presentes foram enviados aos anciãos das seguintes cidades onde David e os companheiros tinham estado: Betel, Sul de Ramote, Jatir, Aroer, Sifmote, Estemoa, Racal, as cidades dos jerameelitas, as cidades dos queneus, Horma, Borasã, Atace, Hebrom. 

And it came to pass, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire, 
and had taken captive the women who were in it, both small and great: they did not slay any, but carried them off, and went their way. 
And when David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive. 
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 
And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God. 
And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray you, bring the ephod here to me. And Abiathar brought the ephod there to David. 
And David inquired of Yahweh, saying, If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for you will surely overtake [them], and without fail will recover [all]. 
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind had stopped. 
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stopped, who 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 ate; and they gave him water to drink. 
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 drank any water, three days and three nights. 
And David said to him, To whom do you belong? And where are you from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, slave to an Amalekite; and this is now the third day since my master left me because I was sick. 
We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire. 
And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop. 
And when he had brought him down, look, they were spread abroad over all the ground, 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. 
And David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled. 
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives. 
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them: David brought back all. 
And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This is David's spoil. 
And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had left at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him: and when David came near to the people, he greeted them. 
Then all the wicked men and base fellows, of those who went with David, answered and said, Because they didn't go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his sons, that he may lead them away, and depart. 
Then said David, You{+} will not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. 
And who will listen to you{+} in this matter? For as his share is that goes down to the battle, so will his share be that tarries by the baggage: they will share alike. 
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day. 
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his fellow man, saying, Look, a present for you{+} of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh: 
To those who were in Bethuel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir, 
and to those who were in Arad, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa, 
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites, 
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor-ashan, and to those who were in Athach, 
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to roam.
