So they came together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out in the LORD's presence.

As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women going out to draw water, and they told them, "Is the seer here?"

Should I take my food, my water, and my meat that I've slaughtered for my shearers and give it to men who came from who knows where?"

The LORD forbid that I should raise my hand against the LORD's anointed. Now take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let's go."

So David took the spear and the jug of water at Saul's head, and they left. No one saw, and no one knew, because no one was awake. They were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen over them.

This thing that you did is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, you who didn't guard your lord, the LORD's anointed. Where is the king's spear and where is the jug of water that was at his head?"

They found an Egyptian man in the field, and they took him to David. They gave him food to eat and provided water for him.

They gave him part of a fig cake and two bunches of raisins. After he had eaten, he revived, since he had neither eaten food nor had he drunk water for three days and three nights.
