1 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,
2
and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.
3
When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
4
So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.
5
David’s two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
