David’s wives were also taken captive. David was trouble because the people were angry and wanted to stone him. But David strengthened himself in God. Abiathar the priest brought the ephod. David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this troop and catch up with them?” The Lord confirmed his question. Then David went with 400 men. And when they came to the brook Besor, 200 men stayed behind because they were tired.
