And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 30 of 1 Samuel. Upon returning to Ziklag, David and his men find the city burned and their families captured by the Amalekites. The soldiers weep until they have no strength left, and some consider stoning David. The situation places the future king in an extreme leadership crisis. The text emphasizes that David strengthens himself in the Lord his God before consulting what to do. This expression marks a contrast with Saul in the previous chapter: in crisis, David again seeks divine guidance.
