1 Samuel 30:13-15

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹³ Then David said to him, ‘Who do you belong to? Where are you from? ’

‘I’m an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite man,’ he said. ‘My master abandoned me when I got ill three days ago. ¹⁴ We raided the south country of the Cherethites,^(A) the territory of Judah, and the south country of Caleb,^(B) and we burned Ziklag.’^(C)

¹⁵ David then asked him, ‘Will you lead me to these raiders? ’

He said, ‘Swear to me by God that you won’t kill me or turn me over to my master, and I will lead you to them.’
