1 Samuel30:12

12 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 drank any water, three days, and three nights .

Which is to be understood Synecdochically of one whole day and part of two others, as the same Phrase is taken Matth. 12. 40. as appears from the next Verse, where he saith three days agone I fell sick, but in the Hebrew it is, this is the third day since I fell sick.
