After the death of Saul, when David had returned from striking down the Amalekites, David remained two days in Ziklag.
So that day Achish gave him Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
Thus Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled. David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives. Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. David brought back all. David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him, and said, “This is David's spoil.” Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them.
