Context Reading
10because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit. 11Now his men found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave the man water to drink and food to eat — 12a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. So he ate and was revived, for he had not had any food or water for three days and three nights. 13Then David asked him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” “I am an Egyptian,” he replied, “the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me three days ago when I fell ill. 14We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned down Ziklag.”
