Contextual Overview
1 When David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had come to fight in the Negev and Ziklag. They had destroyed Ziklag, and burned it with fire. 2 They took the women and all who were in it, without killing anyone. They carried them out and went on their way. 3 David and his men came to the city and saw that it was burned. Their wives and sons and daughters had been taken away. 4 Then David and the people with him cried out in a loud voice until they had no more strength to cry. 5 David's two wives had been taken away, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail who had been the wife of Nabal of Carmel. 6 And David was very troubled because the people talked about killing him with stones. For all the people were very angry in their sorrow for their sons and daughters. But David got his strength from the Lord his God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So David and his men came to the city,.... Or however to the place where it had stood, and where it now lay in ruins:
and, behold, [it was] burnt with fire; the whole city was laid in ashes:
and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives; as it appeared afterwards; for upon their first coming they knew not but they were all destroyed; and which they might reasonably suppose from their former treatment of them, unless there were any left upon the spot which could inform them how things were, which does not appear, and which must make their distress the greater.
