Contextual Overview

²¹ And David came unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, - and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success. ²² Then responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said - Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, - save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go. ²³ Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, - with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. ²⁴ Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores - alike, shall they share. ²⁵ And so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto Israel, until this day. ²⁶ And, when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil, unto the elders of Judah, unto his friends, saying, - Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh: ²⁷ to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir, ²⁸ and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa, ²⁹ and to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites, ³⁰ and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who were 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.
