David’s Raids on the Land

David and his men went up and raided the descendants of Geshur, the descendants of Girzi, and the Amalekites, for they had been living in the land since ancient times, from the entrance of[a] Shur all the way to the land of Egypt. David struck the land and did not leave a man or woman alive. He took sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing, and then came back and went to Achish.

David answered, “Against the Negev[b] of Judah, against the Negev[c] of the Jerahmeelites, and against the Negev[d] of the Kenites.”
