And everyone that was in distress, and everyone that was in debt, and everyone that was troubled in mind gathered to him there, and he was a leader over them, and there were with him about four hundred men.

And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men. And two hundred stayed with the supplies.

So David went, he and the six hundred men with him, and they came as far as the brook Besor, and the superfluous ones stopped.

And he pursued them with four hundred men; and two hundred men remained behind, who tarried on the other side of the brook Besor.
