3 So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 And David’s two awives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive.
6 Now David was greatly distressed, for athe people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was1 grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. bBut David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7 aThen David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And bAbiathar brought the ephod to David.
