1 Samuel 30:11-13

International Standard Version

An Egyptian Leads David to the Amalekites

¹¹ They found an Egyptian man in the field, and they took him to David. They gave him food to eat and provided water for him. ¹² They gave him part of a fig cake and two bunches of raisins. After he had eaten, he revived,^[a] since he had neither eaten food nor had he drunk water for three days and three nights. ¹³ David told him, “To whom do you belong and where are you from?”

The Egyptian^[b] replied, “I’m a young Egyptian man, the slave of an Amalekite man. My master abandoned me, because I got sick three days ago.
