God's Word Translation

1 Samuel 30:1-4 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Two days later, when David and his men came to Ziklag, the Amalekites had raided the Negev, including Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it.

2. Although they captured the young and old women who were there, they killed no one. Instead, they had taken ⌊the women and other prisoners⌋ and gone away.

3. By the time David and his men came to the town, it had been burned down, and their wives, sons, and daughters had been taken captive.

4. Then David and his men cried loudly until they didn’t have the strength to cry anymore.
