1 Samuel 27:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Then David and his men went up, and invaded the [a]Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites: for they inhabited the land from the beginning, from the way, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took sheep, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and apparel, and returned and came to Achish.
10 And Achish said, [b]Where have ye been a roving this day? And David answered, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the [c]Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.

New King James Version
8 And David and his men went up and raided (A)the Geshurites, (B)the [a]Girzites, and the (C)Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from [b]of old, (D)as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt. 9 Whenever David [c]attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish. 10 Then Achish would say, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David would say, “Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of (E)the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of (F)the Kenites.”
