David fights against the Amalekites

30 David and his men arrived at Ziklag three days after they left King Achish. They found that the Amalekites had attacked Ziklag and towns in the south of Judah. The Amalekites had destroyed Ziklag with fire. ² They had caught the women and the other people who were in the town, both young people and old people. They did not kill any of them, but they took them away as prisoners.^[a]

³ So when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, they saw that the Amalekites had destroyed the city. The Amalekites had taken away their wives, their sons and their daughters as prisoners.
