1 Before David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the Negeb and Ziklag. They stormed Ziklag, and set it on fire.
2 They took captive the women and all who were in the city, young and old, killing no one, and they herded them off when they left.
3 David and his men arrived at the city to find it burned to the ground and their wives, sons, and daughters taken captive.
4 Then David and those who were with him wept aloud until they could weep no more.
5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel, had also been carried off.
