In the aftermath of a murder bomber attack on the way to Hierosolyma, Pheidas assisted a wounded Moabite woman. After he tied off a bleeder, a middle aged Moabite man approached, identified himself as a doctor and offered to take over care of the woman. Pheidas agreed and asked the doctor to care for some of the injured Philistinian soldiers. The doctor hesitated, then declined for fear of retribution from his fellow Moabites if he did so.[1]
