1 Samuel 30:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ David asked the Lord for advice. He said, “Should I chase after the men who attacked Ziklag? If I do, will I catch up with them?”

“Chase after them,” the Lord answered. “You will certainly catch up with them. You will succeed in saving those who were captured.”

⁹ David and his 600 men came to the Besor Valley. Some of them stayed behind there. ¹⁰ That’s because 200 of them were too tired to go across the valley. But David and the other 400 continued the chase.
