1 Samuel 30:1-8

ECB(i) 1
DAVID DESTROYS THE AMALEQIY
And so be it, on the third day, David and his men come to Siqlag: and the Amaleqiy strip the south and Siqlag and smite Siqlag and burn it with fire 2 and capture the women therein: they deathify no man, either great or small, but drive them away and go on their way. 3 And David and his men come to the city, and behold, it is burned with fire; and their women and their sons and their daughters are captured. 4 And David and the people with him lift their voice and weep, until they have no more force to weep: 5 for they had captured the two women of David - Achiy Noam the Yizre Eliyth and Abi Gail the woman of Nabal the Karmeliy: 6 and David is mighty depressed; for the people say of stoning him, because the soul of all the people embitters - every man for his sons and for his daughters. And David strengthens in Yah Veh his Elohim; 7 and David says to Abi Athar the priest the son of Achiy Melech, I beseech you, bring near the ephod. - and Abi Athar brings near the ephod to David. 8 And David asks at Yah Veh, saying, Pursue I after this troop? Overtake them? And he says to him, Pursue! In overtaking, overtake! And in rescuing, rescue!
