David Returns to a Burned Ziklag
1 Samuel 30:1-6
1
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2
and had taken captive the womenand allthat were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3
And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5
And David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
