1 Samuel 30:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:4

Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up their
voice
In doleful shrieks, and loud lamentations:

and wept, until they had no more power to weep;
till nature was quite exhausted, and no moisture left; so the Vulgate Latin version, "till tears failed in them"; they could shed no more.

1 Samuel 30:4 In-Context

2 Although they captured the young and old women who were there, they killed no one. Instead, they had taken [the women and other prisoners] and gone away.

3 By the time David and his men came to the town, it had been burned down, and their wives, sons, and daughters had been taken captive.

4 Then David and his men cried loudly until they didn't have the strength to cry anymore.

5 The Amalekites also captured David's two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail (who had been Nabal's wife) from Carmel.

6 David was in great distress because the people in their bitterness said he should be stoned. (They were thinking of their sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.)
