David Defeats the Amalekites
16 The Egyptian[c] led him to the camp,[d] and there the Amalekites[e] were spread out over the whole area, eating, drinking, and celebrating with the great amount of spoil they had taken from the territory belonging to the Philistines and to Judah. 17 David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not one of them escaped except for 400 young men who mounted camels and fled.
