1 Samuel 30:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
30 1 The Amalekites burn Ziklag. 5 David’s two wives are taken prisoners. 6 The people would stone him. 8 He asketh counsel of the Lord, and pursuing his enemies recovereth the prey. 24 He divideth it equally, 26 And sendeth part to his friends.
1 But when David and his men were come to Ziklag [a]the third day, the Amalekites had invaded upon the South, even unto Ziklag, and had [b]smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire,
2 And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and slew not a man, but carried them away, and went their ways.
3 ¶ So David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burnt with fire, and their [c]wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken prisoners.

David Destroys the Amalekites
30 David and his men reached Ziklag(A) on the third day. Now the Amalekites(B) had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned(C) it, 2 and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.
3 When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.(D)
