1 Samuel 30:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ David asked him, “Can you lead me down to the men who attacked Ziklag?”

He answered, “Make a promise to me in the name of God. Promise that you won’t kill me. Promise that you won’t hand me over to my master. Then I’ll take you down to them.”

¹⁶ He led David down to where the men were. They were scattered all over the countryside. They were eating and drinking and dancing wildly. That’s because they had taken a large amount of goods from those they had attacked. They had taken it from the land of the Philistines and from the people of Judah. ¹⁷ David fought against them from sunset until the evening of the next day. None of them escaped except 400 young men. They rode off on camels and got away.
