1 Samuel 30:1-4

David’s Victory over the Amalekites

¹Then it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had carried out an attack on the Negev and on Ziklag, and had overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire; ²and they took captive the women and all who were in it, from the small to the great, without killing anyone, and drove them off and went their way. ³When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. ⁴Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep.
