Contextual Overview

7 David said to Abiathar the religious leader, son of Ahimelech, "Bring me the linen vest." So Abiathar brought the linen vest to David. 8 Then David asked the Lord, "Should I go after this army? Should I meet them in battle?" The Lord said to him, "Go after them, for you will catch them for sure. And you will be sure to save all the people." 9 So David and the 600 men who were with him went out and came to the river of Besor. There those stayed who were left behind. 10 But David kept going after them, with 400 men. For 200 were too tired to cross the river of Besor and stayed behind. 11 They found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave him bread and he ate, and he was given water to drink. 12 They gave him a piece of a fig loaf and two vines of dried grapes. When he had eaten, his spirit returned to him. For he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights. 13 David said to him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" And he answered, "I am a young man of Egypt, a servant of an Amalekite. My owner left me behind when I became sick three days ago. 14 We had gone to fight in the Negev of the Cherethites, and in the land of Judah, and in the Negev of Caleb. We burned Ziklag with fire." 15 Then David said to him, "Will you take me down to his army?" And he said, "Promise me by God that you will not kill me or give me to my owner, and I will bring you down to this army." 16 When he had taken David down, he saw the soldiers spread over all the land. They were eating and drinking and dancing because of all the good things they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
