1 Samuel 30:1-8 And it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided to the Negeb, even to Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided to the Negeb, even to Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire. ² And they captured the women in it, from the small even to the great; they did not kill anyone, but they led them away, 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 had been taken captive. ⁴ And David and the people with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no power in them to weep. ⁵ And the two wives of David had been taken, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail the former wife of Nabal of Carmel. ⁶ And David was greatly distressed, for the people said to stone him. For the soul of the people was bitter, each for his sons and for his daughters. And David made himself strong in Jehovah his God. ⁷ And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Please bring the ephod near to me. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. ⁸ And David asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake it? And He said to him, Pursue for you shall certainly overtake, and shall certainly recover.
