1 Samuel 27:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ David and his men would go out and raid the Geshurites, the Girzites,^[a] and the Amalekites—peoples who had been living in the land for a very long time. Their territory extended from the beginning of Shur all the way to the land of Egypt. ⁹ Whenever David attacked a land, he did not leave even one man or woman alive. He would carry off the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he would return and come back to Achish.

¹⁰ Achish would ask, “Where have you carried out a raid today?”

David would answer, “Against the Negev^[b] of Judah,” or “Against the Negev of the Jerahme’elites,” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.”
