1 Samuel 30:1-5

1Then it happened, when David and his men came to 1Ziklag on the third day, that 2the Amalekites had carried out an attack 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, from the small to the great, 6 7without killing anyone, and drove them off and went their way.

3When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

4Then David and the people who were with him 8raised 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.
