They gave the Egyptian some water to drink and some food to eat. 12 They gave him a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. He felt better after eating. He had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and nights.
13 David asked him, “Who is your master? Where do you come from?”
