Contextual Overview

21 Then David went back to the two hundred men who had been too weak to go with him and had stayed behind at Besor Brook. They came forward to meet David and his men, and David went up to them and greeted them warmly. 22 But some mean and worthless men who had gone with David said, "They didn't go with us, and so we won't give them any of the loot. They can take their wives and children and go away." 23 But David answered, "My brothers, you can't do this with what the Lord has given us! He kept us safe and gave us victory over the raiders. 24 No one can agree with what you say! All must share alike: whoever stays behind with the supplies gets the same share as the one who goes into battle." 25 David made this a rule, and it has been followed in Israel ever since. 26 When David returned to Ziklag, he sent part of the loot to his friends, the leaders of Judah, with the message, "Here is a present for you from the loot we took from the Lord 's enemies." 27 He sent it to the people in Bethel, to the people in Ramah in the southern part of Judah, and to the people in the towns of Jattir, 28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa, 29 and Racal; to the clan of Jerahmeel, to the Kenites, 30 and to the people in the towns of Hormah, Borashan, Athach,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Hormah: Joshua 19:4, Judges 1:17

Chorashan: Probably the same as Ashan in Simeon, Joshua 15:42, Joshua 19:7, which Eusebius says was sixteen miles west from Jerusalem.

Reciprocal: Numbers 21:3 - the name

Cross-References

Deuteronomy 11:10
The land that you are about to occupy is not like the land of Egypt, where you lived before. There, when you planted grain, you had to work hard to irrigate the fields;
2 Corinthians 12:14
This is now the third time that I am ready to come to visit you—and I will not make any demands on you. It is you I want, not your money. After all, children should not have to provide for their parents, but parents should provide for their children.
1 Timothy 5:8
But if any do not take care of their relatives, especially the members of their own family, they have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And to [them] which [were] in Hormah,.... This was a city also in the tribe of Judah; of which see Joshua 15:30;

and to [them] which [were] in Chorashan; or the lake of Ashan, which was in the same tribe, see Joshua 15:42;

and to [them] which [were] in Athach; nowhere else mentioned; the Greek version has Nombe instead of it, which some take to be the same with Nob; but that was in the tribe of Benjamin.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Chor-ashan - Perhaps the same as Ashan Joshua 15:42, in the Shephelah of Judah, inhabited by Simeonites, and one of the priests’ cities 1 Chronicles 4:32; 1 Chronicles 6:59.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:30. Hormah — The general name of those cities which belonged to Arad, king of Canaan; and were devoted to destruction by the Hebrews, and thence called Hormah. See Numbers 21:1-3.

In Chor-ashan — Probably the same as Ashan in the tribe of Judah: see Joshua 15:42. It was afterwards ceded to Simeon, Joshua 19:7.

To them which were in Athach — Probably the same as Ether, Joshua 19:7.
