Background:
David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.
When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. David’s two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in The Lord his God.
David inquired of The Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?”
“Pursue them,” He answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”
Take everything to The Lord in prayer!
Are you weak and heavy laden? Is there trouble everywhere? Take it to The Lord in prayer!
Beloved, I pray with you:
In the time of great distress, when friends and relatives forsake you and gang up against you, may you find strength and comfort in The Lord your God in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
