1 Samuel 30:1-5

1David and his men arrived in Ziklag on the third day. The Amalekites had raided the Negev and attacked and burned Ziklag.

2They also had kidnapped the women and everyone in it from youngest to oldest. They had killed no one but had carried them off as they went on their way.

3When David and his men arrived at the town, they found it burned. Their wives, sons, and daughters had been kidnapped.

4David and the troops with him wept loudly until they had no strength left to weep.

5David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had also been kidnapped.
