1 Samuel 30:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ Then David prayed to the Lord. He said, “Should I chase the people who took our families? Will I catch them?”

The Lord answered, “Chase them. You will catch them. You will succeed in saving your families.”

⁹ David and the 600 men with him came to the Besor Ravine. Some of the men stayed there. ¹⁰ David and 400 men kept up the chase. The other 200 men stayed behind because they were too tired and weak to cross the ravine.
