1 Samuel 30:6-9 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. David was now in great trouble, because his men were all very bitter about losing their children, and they were threatening to stone him; but the Lord his God gave him courage.

7. David said to the priest Abiathar son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod,” and Abiathar brought it to him.

8. David asked the Lord, “Shall I go after those raiders? And will I catch them?”He answered, “Go after them; you will catch them and rescue the captives.”

9. So David and his 600 men started out, and when they arrived at the brook of Besor, some of them stayed there.
