1 Samuel 30:1-9
1Then it happened when David and his men came to 1Ziklag on the third day, that 2the Amalekites had made a raid on the 3Negev and on 4Ziklag, and had 5overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire; 2and they took captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great, 67without killing anyone, and carried them off and went their way. 3When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been taken captive. 4Then David and the people who were with him 8lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep. 5Now 9David’s two wives had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the 10widow of Nabal the Carmelite. 6Moreover David was greatly distressed because 11the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were 12embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But 13David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7Then 14David said to 15Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 816David inquired of the Lord, saying, “17Shall I pursue this band? Shall I overtake them?” And He said to him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, 18and you will surely rescue all.” 9So David went, 19he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those left behind remained.
