David Returns to a Burned Ziklag
1 Samuel 30:1-6
1
When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2
and had taken captive the women and all who were therein, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3
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 who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5
David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke 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 the LORD his God.
