Footnotes
The Egyptian's revival after three days without sustenance carries subtle providential resonance: through an act of enemy-kindness, life returns. His restoration is not incidental—without his testimony, David would never locate the Amalekite camp. The unnamed stranger becomes the unwitting instrument of divine rescue, a pattern the Hebrew narrative repeatedly honours: the outsider who holds the key.
