1 Samuel 30 1-1 Samuel 30 8
When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech,“ Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.David inquired of Yahweh, saying,“ If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him,“ Pursue; for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”

When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.

1 Samuel 30 18-1 Samuel 30 20
David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said,“ This is David’s plunder.”
