Read in context

1 Samuel 30:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 and David inquired of the LORD: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely overtake them and rescue the captives.”

9 So David and his six hundred men went to the Brook of Besor, where some stayed behind

10 because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit.

11 Now his men found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave the man water to drink and food to eat—

12 a 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.
