1 SAMUEL 30

DAVID DEFEATS THE AMALEKITES + RESTORES WHAT WAS STOLEN

When David returns home, he finds that the Amalekites raided Ziklag, burning it down and taking the women captive. David’s wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, were both captured, and David is deeply distressed. David asks God what to do, and God allows him to pursue and overtake the Amalekites. David and his men defeat the Amalekites and get back everything that was stolen from them!

Not all of David’s men fight with him, but David still restores their lot as well. David shows generosity and compassion to others because of the generosity and compassion that God has shown him.
