Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Whither: etc. or, Did you not make a road
And David: 1 Samuel 21:2, Genesis 27:19, Genesis 27:20, Genesis 27:24, Joshua 2:4-6, 2 Samuel 17:20, Psalms 119:29, Psalms 119:163, Proverbs 29:25, Galatians 2:11-13, Ephesians 4:25
Against: David here meant the Geshurites, and Gezrites, and Amalekites, which people occupied that part of the country which lies to the south of Judah. But Achish, as was intended, understood him in a different sense, and believed that he had attacked his own countrymen. David's answer, therefore, though not an absolute falsehood, was certainly an equivocation intended to deceive, and therefore incompatible with that sense of truth and honour which became him as a prince, and a professor of true religion. From these, and similar passages, we may observe the strict impartiality of the Sacred Scriptures. They present us with the most faithful delineation of human nature; they exhibit the frailties of kings, priests, and prophets, with equal truth; and examples of vice and frailty, as well as of piety and virtue, are held up, that we may guard against the errors to which the best men are exposed.
the Jerahmeelites: 1 Chronicles 2:9, 1 Chronicles 2:25
Kenites: 1 Samuel 15:6, Numbers 24:21, Judges 1:16, Judges 4:11, Judges 5:24
Reciprocal: Genesis 13:1 - the south Judges 16:7 - If they bind 1 Samuel 27:1 - into the land 1 Samuel 28:2 - Surely 1 Samuel 30:29 - Jerahmeelites
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Achish said, whither have ye made a road today?.... Or whither had they rushed in, or poured in and spread themselves? or where had they made their excursion to fetch in the prey and booty they now brought?
and David said, against the south of Judah; he meant against some people that lay to the south of the land of Judah, without it; but expressed himself so, that Achish might think he meant the southern parts of Judah within the country; which, though not a downright lie, was an equivocation, and made with a design to deceive; and was by no means agreeably to the character of David, nor to be defended nor imitated:
and against the south of the Jerahmeelites; these were the descendants of Jerahmeel, the son of Hezron, the grandson of Judah, and so inhabited in the tribe of Judah, and very probably in the southern part of it, 1 Chronicles 2:9,
and against the south of the Kenites; the posterity of Jethro; these, at least some of them, at the first seating of the children of Israel in the land of Canaan, went with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad, Judges 1:16.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Jerahmeelites - i. e. the descendants of Jerahmeel, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah (marginal references). They were therefore a portion of the âsouth of Judah.â
The Kenites - See Numbers 24:21 note; Numbers 4:11; and for their near neighborhood to Amalek, see 1 Samuel 15:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 27:10. Whither have ye made a road today? — He had probably been in the habit of making predatory excursions. This seems to be implied in the question of Achish.
