Commentaries on 1 Samuel 30:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29Them which were in Rachal - We know not where this place was; it is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible.

The cities of the Jerahmeelites - See before, 1 Samuel 27:10; (note). And - the cities of the Kenites - A very small tract on the southern coast of the Dead Sea.Read the comment

Those are men of Belial indeed, who delight in putting hardships upon their brethren, and care not who is starved, so that they may be fed to the full. David was generous and kind to all his friends. Those who consider the Lord as the Giver of their abundance, will dispose of it with fairness and liberality.Read the comment
