11 An Egyptian Leads David to the AmalekitesThey found an Egyptian man in the field, and they took him to David. They gave him food to eat and provided water for him.
12 They gave him part of a fig cake and two bunches of raisins. After he had eaten, he revived, since he had neither eaten food nor had he drunk water for three days and three nights.
13 David told him, “To whom do you belong and where are you from?”
The Egyptian replied, “I’m a young Egyptian man, the slave of an Amalekite man. My master abandoned me, because I got sick three days ago. 14 We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory that belongs to Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we set Ziklag on fire.”
15 David asked him, “Will you take me to this raiding party?”
He said, “Swear to me by God that you won’t kill me or turn me over to my master, and I’ll take you to the raiding party.”
