1 Samuel 30:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ David was in deep trouble because the troops were talking about stoning him. Each of the soldiers was deeply distressed about their sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. ⁷ David said to the priest Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, “Bring the priestly vest^[a] to me.” So Abiathar brought it to David.

⁸ Then David asked the Lord, “Should I go after this raiding party? Will I catch them?”

“Yes, go after them!” God answered. “You will definitely catch them and will succeed in the rescue!”
