Yes or No

And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.-1 Samuel 30:1-9***Years before David gave the command that led to the capture of a Jebusite fortress, and established the City of David, and began to reign as king over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, he lived on the run from King Saul. Saul was the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, to anoint David to reign as king. David continued working as a shepherd for his father Jesse, and began working as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul. After David killed Goliath the gigantic Philistine, Saul placed David over command of some troops. After Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, Saul was angry. After Saul realized that the Lord God was with David, Saul was afraid of David. Saul sent David on lethal missions, and tried to kill David and commanded his son Jonathan and others to kill David. David's wife Michal was Saul's daughter and helped David escape from their home. Four hundred men joined David, and at least 200 more men joined David. David and the men stayed in a cave, a forest, the wilderness, and upon a mountain. In Maon, David spoke with Abigail, Nabal's wife. After Nabal died, according to the will of the Lord God, Abigail became David's wife. Sometime thereafter, David, his men, their families, and David's wives Abigail and Ahinoam began living in Gath, a principal city of the Philistines and the homeland of Goliath. Philistine King Achish gave Ziklag, another Philistine city, permanently to David. Thus, Abigail, Ahinoam, and David's men and their families lived in Ziklag with David. When David and his men were with Achish and the Philistines to supposedly help the Philistines defeat the Israelites, a group of Amalekites raided Ziklag. Over 1,000 years after Jonathan and his brothers Malchishua and Abinadab (Ishui) were killed by the Philistines, and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battlefield, and the beginning of David's reign only over the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the tribe of David's birth, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-2:12, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
