David was now in great danger because all his men were very bitter about losing their sons and daughters, and they began to talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 NLT

Nothing was missing: small or great, son or daughter, nor anything else that had been taken. David brought everything back. 1 Samuel 30:19 NLT
