1Sa 30:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16-17 : The servant led David to the Amalekite camp. The Amalekites were celebrating and partying with all the things they had stolen (1 Samuel 30:16 ). David and his men attacked them by surprise and defeated them. Only 400 young men escaped on camels (1 Samuel 30:17 ). When enemies think they are safe and happy, that is often when trouble comes. The victory was easy because the Amalekites were not ready to fight.
