Contextual Overview

⁷ David said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring me the holy vest." ⁸ Then David asked the Lord , "Should I chase the people who took our families? Will I catch them?" The Lord answered, "Chase them. You will catch them, and you will succeed in saving your families." ⁹ David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Ravine, where some of the men stayed. ¹⁰ David and four hundred men kept up the chase. The other two hundred men stayed behind because they were too tired to cross the ravine. ¹¹ They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David. They gave the Egyptian some water to drink and some food to eat. ¹² And they gave him a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. Then he felt better, because he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and nights. ¹³ David asked him, "Who is your master? Where do you come from?" He answered, "I'm an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. Three days ago my master left me, because I was sick. ¹⁴ We had raided the southern area of the Kerethites, the land of Judah, and the southern area of Caleb. We burned Ziklag, as well." ¹⁵ David asked him, "Can you lead me to the people who took our families?" He answered, "Yes, if you promise me before God that you won't kill me or give me back to my master. Then I will take you to them." ¹⁶ So the Egyptian led David to the Amalekites. They were lying around on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating with the things they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David inquired of the Lord,.... That is, by Abiathar, who reported his questions to the Lord in his name:

saying, shall I pursue after this troop? the large company of the Amalekites, as it appears by what follows they were:

shall I overtake them? two questions are here put together, and answers returned to them, contrary to a notion of the Jews;

:-;

and he answered him, pursue; which respects the first question:

for thou shall surely overtake [them]; which is an answer to the second question, and a full one, giving full assurance of overtaking; to which is added more than what was inquired about;

and without fail recover [all]; their wives, sons, and daughters, and the spoil that was taken; or "in delivering thou shall deliver" p, out of the hands of the Amalekites, whatsoever they had taken.
