[:en]David had been discharged from the war but only to find disaster when he returned to Ziklag. The Amalekites came to capture the city and the people including David’s two wives – Ahinoam and Abigail. David was so deeply upset and sorrowed but he got strength from the Lord and seek his will (v. 6-8). He pursued the Amalekites with the information given by an Egyptian who was a slave abandoned by an Amalekite. David recovered everything and shared the plunder with all of his men.
