1 Two days later David and his men arrived back at Ziklag. The Amalekites had raided southern Judah and attacked Ziklag. They had burnt down the town
2 and captured all the women; they had not killed anyone, but had taken everyone with them when they left.
3 When David and his men arrived, they found that the town had been burnt down and that their wives, sons, and daughters had been carried away.
4 David and his men started crying and did not stop until they were completely exhausted.
5 Even David's two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had been taken away.
