1 Samuel 27:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites,(A) the Girzites,[a] and the Amalekites.(B) From ancient times they had been the inhabitants of the region through Shur(C) as far as the land of Egypt. 9 Whenever David attacked the land, he did not leave a single person alive, either man or woman, but he took flocks, herds, donkeys, camels, and clothing.(D) Then he came back to Achish, 10 who inquired, “Where did you raid today?”[b](E)
David replied, “The south country of Judah,” “The south country of the Jerahmeelites,”(F) or “Against the south country of the Kenites.”(G)
