Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag, on the third day,.... Either from their departure from thence, when they went out with Achish, or rather from the time of their leaving Achish, and the camp of the Philistines; so long they were upon their march homewards, see 2 Samuel 1:1; and no wonder, if it was the distance of eighty eight miles, 2 Samuel 1:1- :;
that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag; the southern parts of the land of the Philistines, and of Judah, as appears from
1 Samuel 30:14; taking the opportunity of the Philistines being gone into the land of Israel, and particularly of David's absence from Ziklag, to whom they bore a grudge for his invasion, destruction, and spoil of them not long ago, see 1 Samuel 27:8;
and smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire; not that they smote the inhabitants of it, there were no men in it, and the women and children they carried captive; but they demolished the buildings in it, pulled down the houses after they had rifled them, and burnt them with fire, that David and his men might dwell there no more.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On the third day - This indicates that Aphek was three days’ march from Ziklag, say about 50 miles, which agrees very well with the probable situation of Aphek (1 Samuel 4:1 note). From Ziklag to Shunem would not be less than 80 or 90 miles.
The Amalekites, in retaliation of David’s raids 1 Samuel 27:8-9, invaded “the south” of Judah Joshua 15:21; but owing to the absence of all the men with David there was no resistance, and consequently the women and children were carried off as prey, and uninjured.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXX
While David is absent with the army of Achish, the Amalekites
invade Ziklag, and burn it with fire, and carry away captive
David's wives, and those of his men, 1, 2.
David and his men return; and, finding the desolate state of
their city, are greatly affected, 3-5.
The men mutiny, and threaten to stone David, who encourages
himself in the Lord, 6.
David inquires of the Lord, and is directed to pursue the
Amalekites, with the promise that he shall recover all, 7, 8.
He and his men begin the pursuit, but two hundred, through
fatigue are obliged to stay behind at the brook Besor, 9, 10.
They find a sick Egyptian, who directs them in their pursuit,
11-15.
David finds the Amalekites secure, feasting on the spoils they
had taken; he attacks and destroys the whole host, except four
hundred, who escape on camels, 16, 17.
The Israelites recover their wives, their families, and all
their goods, 18-20.
They come to the two hundred who were so faint as not to be
able to pursue the enemy, with whom they divide the spoil; and
this becomes a statute in Israel, 21-25.
David sends part of the spoil which he had taken to different
Jewish cities, which had suffered by the incursion of the
Amalekites; and where David and his anew had been accustomed
to resort, 26-31.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXX
Verse 1 Samuel 30:1. On the third day — This was the third day after he had left the Philistine army at Aphek. Calmet supposes that Aphek was distant from Ziklag more than thirty leagues.
The Amalekites had invaded — These were, doubtless, a travelling predatory horde, who, availing themselves of the war between the Philistines and the Israelites, plundered several unprotected towns, and among them Ziklag. It is likely they had not heard of what David did to some of their tribes, else they would have avenged themselves by slaying all they found in Ziklag.
