David strikes the Amalekites and recovers all that they had taken
다윗이 아말렉 사람을 치고 그 취하였던 모든 것을 도로 찾음
1 Samuel 30:17–20: the text says, “David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.” David recovers all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescues his two wives. There is nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brings them all back. The text goes on at 30:20, “David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, ‘This is David’s plunder.’” The Korean Revised Version names no one who took the flocks, and has 무리 (the crowd), driving them before the livestock, say it.
