1 Samuel



1 Samuel, Chapter 30


And it happened when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had invaded the south and Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.


And they had seized the women in it. They did not kill any, either small or great, but carried them away and went on their way.


And David and his men came to the city, and behold, [it was] burned with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been taken captives.


And David and the people with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.


And David's two wives had been seized, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the [former] wife of Nabal of Carmel.


And it greatly distressed David, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each one for his sons and for his daughters. But David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.


And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, Please bring the ephod here to me. And Abiathar brought the ephod there to David.


And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Go! For you shall surely overtake and will without fail recover all.
