As David returns home after being dismissed from the battle field, he finds his hometown burned and all the families taken captive. These mighty warriors weep until the tears can no longer flow. After inquiring of God what to do, David and 600 men set out to retrieve their families. Finding the Amalekites responsible for the raid, David quickly defeats them and all is restored - nothing is missing, nothing lost in the raid.
Meanwhile the Philistines fought against Israel and won handily. Saul, as foretold, was killed in battle as was his son Jonathan. The Philistines tried to make a statement by displaying Saul's body, but brave warriors from Israel fought through the lines to retrieve the bodies of their slain king and his sons.
