³ Now go and strike Amalek and ^(A)utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but ^(B)put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”

David’s Victory over the Amalekites

30 Then it happened when David and his men came to ^(A)Ziklag on the third day, that ^(B)the Amalekites had made a raid on the ^[a]Negev and on ^(C)Ziklag, and had ^[b]overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire;

¹³ David said to him, “To whom do you belong? And where are you from?” And he said, “I am a young man of Egypt, a servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind when I fell sick three days ago.

¹⁷ David ^[a]slaughtered them ^(A)from the twilight ^[b]until the evening of ^[c]the next day; and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on ^(B)camels and fled.
