Samuel Chapter 30 on Another Distress to David in Ziglag

Times Of Distress

G-d must be the best first option; not otherwise.

Be honest, people who are able (if not yourself) will always be your first best option for action.

*Sad part, when everything fails – along you remember Hashem in prayers to seek for help.

“David Seeks Divine Sanction Against Amalek”

It happened that when David and his men arrived in Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekite had spread out to the south and to Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire.
30:1
Both of David’s wives had been captured — Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the [former] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
:5
David was very distressed, for the people were ready to stone him, for the soul of all the people was embittered, each over his sons and his daughters; but David drew strength from Hashem, his God.
:6
David inquired of Hashem, saying, “Shall I pursue this band? Will I overtake them?” And He said to him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them and you will surely rescue.”
:8
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to Besor Brook, where some men remained behind.
:9
They found an Egyptian man in the field and took him to David, they gave him bread and he ate, and they gave him water to drink.
:11
So David asked him, ‘Will you lead me to that band?” And he replied, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me nor hand me over to my master, and I will lead you to that band.”
:15
And David smote them from twilight until the evening of the next day; not a man of them survived, except four hundred youths who were riding camels, who fled.
:17
So David rescued everything that Amalek had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
:18
Every mean-spirited and base person of the men who had gone with David spoke up and said, “Since they did not go with me, we will not give them of the spoils that we rescued, except to each man his wife and his children; let them take them and go.”
:22
But David said, “Do not act so, my brothers, with that which Hashem has give us, for He has watched over us and delivered into our hands the band that had come upon us.
:23
Who could hearken to you to such a thing! Rather, like the portion of the one who went into battle, so is the portion of the one who remained with the baggage; they shall divide [it] equally.”
:24
And it was from that day on, that [David] made this a decree and a law in Israel, until this day.
:25

1 And it was, when David and his men came to Ziklag, that on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the South and Ziklag, and they had smote Ziklag and burned it with fire.
2 And they had captured the women who were therein, but they slew no one, neither big nor small, but led them away and went on their way.
3 And David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been captured.
4 And David and all the people who were with him, raised their voice and wept, until they had no strength to weep.
5 And David’s two wives were captured: Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 And David was in dire straits, for the people spoke of stoning him, for the soul of all the people was grieved, each man concerning his sons and concerning his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring near to me now the ephod.” And Abiathar brought the ephod near to David.
8 And David enquired of the Lord saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Will I overtake them?” And He said to him, “Pursue, for you shall overtake and you shall rescue.”
9 And David went, he and six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the Brook Besor, and those who were left behind stayed.
10 And David pursued, he and four hundred men, and there remained two hundred men who refrained from crossing the Brook Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian man in the field and brought him to David. And they gave him bread and he ate, and they gave him water to drink.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit returned to him: for he had eaten no bread nor drunk any water three days and three nights.
13 And David said to him, “To whom do you belong, and from where are you?” And he said, “I am an Egyptian youth, a slave of an Amalekite man. And my master left me, for three days ago today I feel sick.
14 We made a raid upon the south of the Cherethites and upon that which belongs to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
15 And David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not put me to death, and that you will not deliver me into my master’s hand, and I shall bring you down to this troop.”
16 And he brought him down, and behold, they were scattered over the entire landscape, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoil which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
17 And David smote them from evening until evening to their morrow, and no man of them escaped except four hundred young men who rode on camels, and fled.
18 And David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19 And there was nothing missing to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, nor anything which they had taken to themselves. David recovered everything.
20 And David took all the sheep and the cattle. They led before those cattle and said, “This is David’s spoil.”
21 And David came to the two hundred men who had refrained from going after David and they had stationed them at the Brook Besor, and they came out toward David and toward the people who were with him. And David approached the people and greeted them.
22 Then every evil and unscrupulous man of the men who had gone with David, spoke up, and said, “Since they did not go with me, let us not give them of the spoil which we have rescued, but each man his wife and his children, and let them lead them away and depart.”
23 And David said, “Do not do so, my brethren, with that which the Lord has given us, and He guarded us and delivered the troop which came upon us, into our hand.
24 And who will listen to you concerning this matter, for as the share of him who goes down into battle, so is the share of him who stays with the luggage; they shall share alike.”
25 And it was from that day on, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until this day.
26 And David came to Ziklag and sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “Here is a present for you from the spoils of the enemies of the Lord.”
27 To those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir.
28 And to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa.
29 And to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites.
30 And to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Cor-ashan, and to those who were in Athach.
31 And to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places which David and his men had frequented.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
