David and his men settled there in Gath with their families. David had his two wives with him, Ahinoam from Jezreel, and Abigail, Nabal's widow, from Carmel.
He also took his men and their families, and they settled in the towns around Hebron.
When Saul heard that David had fled to Gath, he gave up trying to find him.
When David and his men arrived, they found that the town had been burned down and that their wives, sons, and daughters had been carried away.
Even David's two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had been taken away.
