And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 30 of 1 Samuel. David consults the Lord through Abiathar and receives authorization to pursue the Amalekites. An Egyptian slave abandoned by his former masters provides decisive information about the enemy’s location. David treats the man mercifully and receives crucial assistance in return. The narrative combines providence and human action: David consults God but also uses concrete resources, alliances, and information obtained along the way.
