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 Rachal,.... Another city of the tribe of Judah, but nowhere else spoken of:

and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites: which lay to the south of Judah, 1 Samuel 27:10;

and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Kenites; who dwelt in the wilderness of Judah, in the south of Arad, Judges 1:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:29. Them which were in Rachal — We know not where this place was; it is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible. Calmet conjectures that Hachilah, 1 Samuel 23:19, may be the same place; here we know David did conceal himself for some time, till the Ziphites endeavoured to betray him to Saul.

The cities of the Jerahmeelites — See before, 1 Samuel 27:10.

And-the cities of the Kenites — A very small tract on the southern coast of the Dead Sea.
