CAB(i)
1 And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Ziklag, and attacked Ziklag, and burned it with fire.
2 And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they killed neither man nor woman, but carried them away captive, and went on their way.
3 And David and his men came into the city, and behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried away captive.
4 And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
5 And both the wives of David were carried captive, Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, each for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Ahimelech, Bring the ephod here to me.
8 And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He said to him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and you shall surely rescue the captives.
