David’s Wives Are Captured

1 Now when David and his men came to ^dZiklag on the third day, ^ethe Amalekites had ^fmade a raid against the Negeb and against Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag and burned it with fire 2 and taken captive the women and all ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew lacks and all} who were in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off and went their way. 3 And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep. 5 David’s ^htwo wives also had been taken captive, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke ⁱof stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, ^{▼▼Compare 22:2} each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

7 ^kAnd David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 ^lAnd David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue after this ^mband? Shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake ⁿand shall surely rescue.”

1 Samuel 30:18-20

18 ^oDavid recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives. 19 Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. ^pDavid brought back all. 20 David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew clause is uncertain} and said, “This is David’s spoil.”
