1 Samuel 30:4-8
30:4 Then David and the men
who were with him wept loudly
until they could weep no more.
30:5 David’s two wives had been taken captive – Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the Carmelite, Nabal’s widow.
30:6 David was very upset, for the men
were thinking of stoning him;
each man grieved bitterly
over his sons and daughters. But David drew strength from the
Lord his God.
30:7 Then David said to the priest Abiathar son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
30:8 David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Should I pursue this raiding band? Will I overtake them?” He said to him, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them and carry out a rescue!”
