Contextual Overview
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod." So Abiathar brought it. 8 Then David prayed to 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 save your families." 9David took the 600 men with him and went to Besor Ravine. About 200 of his men stayed there because they were too weak and tired to continue. But David and the other 400 men continued to chase the Amalekites. 11 David's men found an Egyptian in a field and took him to David. They gave the Egyptian some water to drink and some food to eat. 12 The Egyptian had not had any food or water for three days and nights, so they gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters of raisins. He felt better after eating. 13 David asked the Egyptian, "Who is your master? Where do you come from?" The Egyptian answered, "I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. Three days ago I got sick, and my master left me behind. 14 We had attacked the Negev area where the Kerethites live. We also attacked Judah and the Negev area where Caleb's people live. We burned Ziklag." 15 David asked the Egyptian, "Will you lead me to the people who took our families?" The Egyptian answered, "If you make a special promise before God, I will help you find them. But you must promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master." 16 The Egyptian led David to the Amalekites. They were lying around on the ground, eating and drinking. They were celebrating with the many things they had taken from the Philistines and from Judah. 17 David attacked them and killed them. They fought from sunrise until the evening of the next day. None of the Amalekites escaped, except for 400 young men who jumped onto their camels and rode away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they gave him a piece of cake of figs,.... That were dried and pressed together, and made into cakes:
and two clusters of raisins; or dried grapes, as the Targum:
and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; he seemed to be quite dispirited, almost lifeless, but upon eating some food he was refreshed, and his spirits revived, and he was capable of conversing:
for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, three days and three nights; that is, one whole day, and part of two days, as appears from
1 Samuel 30:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Three days and three nights - Indicating that at least so long a time had elapsed since the sack of Ziklag.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 30:12. A cake of figs — See on 1 Samuel 25:18.
