1 Samuel 30:15-17
New English Translation

15 David said to him, “Can you take us down to this raiding party?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to this raiding party.”

16 So he took David[a] down, and they found them spread out over the land. They were eating and drinking and enjoying themselves because of all the loot[b] they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah. 17 But David struck them down from twilight until the following evening. None of them escaped, with the exception of 400 young men who got away on camels.[c]
