“Look, our city has been burned to the ground and our women and children are gone,” David’s warriors wailed. David was desperate; his soldiers were so upset they considered stoning him. David said, “Let’s ask God what to do!”
David asked God, “Should I go after the people who raided our town? Can I catch up with them? “Go after them” God answered. “You will catch up with them, and you will rescue your families.”
David and his warriors caught up with the Amalekites as they were celebrating their destruction. In the battle, David’s warriors prevailed and all the wives, children and animals were recovered. [Bible: I Samuel 30:1-31]
