1 Two days later, when David and his men came to Ziklag, the Amalekites had raided the Negev, including Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it.
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.
