17. And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled.
18. David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19. Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. David brought back all.
20. David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him, and said, “This is David’s spoil.”
21. Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them.
22. Then all the wicked and worthless fellows among the men who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except that each man may lead away his wife and children, and depart.”
