1 Samuel 30:13-15
International Standard Version
13 David told him, “To whom do you belong and where are you from?”
The Egyptian[a] replied, “I’m a young Egyptian man, the slave of an Amalekite man. My master abandoned me, because I got sick three days ago. 14 We raided the Negev[b] of the Cherethites, the territory that belongs to Judah,[c] and the Negev[d] of Caleb, and we set Ziklag on fire.”
15 David asked him, “Will you take me to this raiding party?”[e]
He said, “Swear to me by God that you won’t kill me or turn me over to my master, and I’ll take you to the raiding party.”[f]
