Strengthened Himself In The Lord

So David and his men came to the city, 

and there it was, burned with fire; 

and their wives, their sons, and their daughters 

had been taken captive. 

Then David and the people who were with him 

lifted up their voices and wept, 

until they had no more power to weep.

Now David was greatly distressed, 

for the people spoke of stoning him, 

because the soul of all the people was grieved, 

every man for his sons and his daughters.

BUT David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

I Samuel 30:3-4, 6 NKJV
