Contextual Overview

²¹ And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you? ²² Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go. ²³ Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands. ²⁴ Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same. ²⁵ And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now. ²⁶ And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord; ²⁷ He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir; ²⁸ And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa ²⁹ and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites; ³⁰ And to those who were in Hormah and in Bor-ashan and in Athach;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And to [them] which [were] in Aroer,.... Not Aroer in the tribe of Gad beyond Jordan, where David is never said to be, but some city of this name in the tribe of Judah; the Greek version of

Joshua 15:22, instead of Adadah, has Arouel:

and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth; which very probably was in the tribe of Judah, though nowhere else mentioned:

and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa; a Levitical city given to the Levites by the children of Judah, Joshua 21:14.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Aroer - Not Aroer on the Arnon, but (if rightly written) some town in Judah, not elsewhere named.

Siphmoth, Rachal 1 Samuel 30:29, and Athach 1 Samuel 30:30, are unknown and not elsewhere mentioned; but Zabdi the Shiphmite 1 Chronicles 27:27, who was over David’s wine-cellars, was evidently a native of the first-named place. It is a remarkable proof of the grateful nature of David, and of his fidelity to his early friendships, as well as a curious instance of undesigned coincidence, that we find among those employed by David in offices of trust in the height of his power so many inhabitants of those obscure places where he found friends in the days of his early difficulties. Ezri the son of Chelub, Shimei the Ramathite, and Zabdi the Shiphmite, as well as Ira and Gareb, and Ittai, and Hezrai, and many others, were probably among these friends of his youth.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:28. In Aroer — Situated beyond Jordan, on the banks of the river Arnon, in the tribe of God.

Siphmoth — Supposed to be the same with Shepham, Numbers 34:10, on the eastern border of the promised land.

Eshtemoa — Another city in the tribe of Judah. See Joshua 15:50.
