וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־אֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֵן בֶּן־אֲחִימֶלֶךְ הַגִּֽישָׁה־נָּא לִי הָאֵפוֹד וַיַּגֵּשׁ אֶבְיָתָר אֶת־הָאֵפוֹד אֶל־דָּוִֽד׃
Dovid said to Evyosor the kohein, the son of Achimelech, "Please, bring me the eiphod," so Evyosor brought the eiphod to Dovid.

וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּֽיהֹוָה לֵאמֹר אֶרְדֹּף אַחֲרֵי הַגְּדוּד־הַזֶּה הַאַשִּׂגֶנּוּ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ רְדֹף כִּֽי־הַשֵּׂג תַּשִּׂיג וְהַצֵּל תַּצִּֽיל׃
Dovid inquired of Adonoy, saying, "Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake it?" And He said to him, "Pursue, for you will surely overtake them and you will certainly rescue [the captives]."

וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד הוּא וְשֵׁשׁ־מֵאוֹת אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־נַחַל הַבְּשׂוֹר וְהַנּוֹתָרִים עָמָֽדוּ׃

Rashi
והנותרים עמדו. כשהגיעו לנחל הבשור, היו בהם עייפים, ונותרו שם מקצתן:
Some of them remained behind. When they reached the Nachal Besor, there were among them some who were faint, and some of those remained there.
וַיִּרְדֹּף דָּוִד הוּא וְאַרְבַּע־מֵאוֹת אִישׁ וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ מָאתַיִם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר פִּגְּרוּ מֵעֲבֹר אֶת־נַחַל הַבְּשֽׂוֹר׃
Dovid pursued—he together with four hundred men—while two hundred men remained, who were too exhausted to cross the Nachal Besor.

Rashi
אשר פגרו. אשר נמנעו, ואומר אני לשון ארמי הוא, תרגום של ונהרסו:
Who were too exhausted. Who refrained; and I say that this is Aramaic, the translation of וְנֶהֶרְסוּ1Yechezkeil 30:4. [=and they will be destroyed].
וַֽיִּמְצְאוּ אִישׁ־מִצְרִי בַּשָּׂדֶה וַיִּקְחוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל־דָּוִד וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ לֶחֶם וַיֹּאכַל וַיַּשְׁקֻהוּ מָֽיִם׃
They found an Egyptian man in the field and took him to Dovid. They gave him bread and he ate, and they gave him water to drink.

וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ פֶלַח דְּבֵלָה וּשְׁנֵי צִמֻּקִים וַיֹּאכַל וַתָּשׇׁב רוּחוֹ אֵלָיו כִּי לֹא־אָכַל לֶחֶם וְלֹא־שָׁתָה מַיִם שְׁלֹשָׁה יָמִים וּשְׁלֹשָׁה לֵילֽוֹת׃ {ס}
They gave him a cake of pressed figs and two clusters of raisins. He ate, and he came to himself, for he had neither eaten bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.
