1 Samuel 30:3-6

30:3 When David and his men came to the city, they found it burned. ¹  Their wives, sons, and daughters had been taken captive. 30:4 Then David and the men ²  who were with him wept loudly ³  until they could weep no more. ⁴  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 ⁵  were thinking of stoning him; ⁶  each man grieved bitterly ⁷  over his sons and daughters. But David drew strength from the Lord his God.
