The attack was probably in retaliation for David's raid on the Amalekites (1 Samuel 27:8–10).1 Samuel 27:8–10 HE David and his men lost their wives and families, causing great lamentation (verse 4) and even placing David in personal danger (verse 6).Jones 2007 214 Verse 1 Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid against the Negeb and against Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag and burned it with fire.1 Samuel 30:1 KJV "Negeb" (hbo נֶגֶב negev south yes): referring to the southern part of Judah, and the adjacent country.Benson, Joseph.

Accessed 9 July 2019.August 2026 Verse 2 And had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way.1 Samuel 30:2 NKJV "They did not kill anyone" (hbo yes none לֹא הֵמִיתוּ אִישׁ lō hēmîtū ʾîš): Because all the warriors were away, the city could not offer any resistance, and since women and children were valuable for sale as slaves—mainly to neighboring Egypt—nobody was killed. However, leaving their wives and families completely defenseless probably made the men so angry at David that they were ready to kill him.Exell, Joseph S.; Spence-Jones, Henry Donald Maurice (Editors).

David destroys the Amalekites (30:7–20) One unique feature in the narrative is David's ability to consult YHWH directly. In contrast to Saul's illegal consultation of a necromancer at Endor (hbo yes none עֵין־דּוֹר ʿēn-dōr spring of Dor), David "strengthened himself in the ",1 Samuel 23:16 HE contacted YHWH through Abiathar the he-latn kohen (hbo yes none כֹּהֵן kōhēn priest), and received a positive reply (verses 7–8). Thus, he was encouraged to pursue the attackers.Jones 2007 214 A providential meeting with an exhausted Egyptian who had gone three days without food, and who, after being nourished with a fig-cake and raisins, provided David and his soldiers instant information to the raiders of Ziklag, even securing the service to guide them down to the Amalekite camp. In another coincidence David and his troops arrived just as the Amalekites were obliviously celebrating their victory with feasting, giving a good opportunity to revenge allowing only 400 camel riders to escape. The captured families were saved intact and their possession was reclaimed with more booty to collect. Moreover, David had avenged not only Ziklag but also other areas as mentioned in verse 14—the Negeb of the Cherethites in the southern area controlled by the Philistines, the Negeb of Caleb, which was around Hebron (hbo yes none חֶבְרוֹן ḥebrôn), as well as Judean areas, providing special bond with the people of the areas as described later in 2 Samuel 2:1–4,2 Samuel 2:1–4 HE when David becomes king of Judah.Jones 2007 214 Verse 19 And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.1 Samuel 30:19 NKJV Through this victory David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, his two wives, his men's wives, and all the children great and small, as well as all stuffs that were taken from Ziklag, so that nothing was missing.Keil, Carl Friedrich; Delitzsch, Franz.

Dividing the spoils (30:21–31) David's successful assault secured a substantial amount of loot, enabling him to distribute some as gifts to the people of Judah (verses 26–31). This action, along with his decision regarding the suggestion made by "churlish ones" (verses 22–25), demonstrates David's preparedness to assume the role of king.Jones 2007 214 Consequently, Saul's leniency toward the Amalekites resulted in his downfall, while David's victorious campaign contributed to his ascent as a king who was obedient to God.Evans 2018 294 Verse 26 When David reached Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah [and] to his friends, saying, "This is a present for you from our spoil of 's enemies" (Revised JPS Edition).1 Samuel 30:26 HE Writes Rabbi Adin SteinsaltzSteinsaltz Adin Even-Israel Adin Steinsaltz The Steinsaltz Nevi'im Koren Publishers Jerusalem Jerusalem 2019 9789657760246 I Samuel 30 https://www.sefaria.org/Steinsaltz_on_I_Samuel.30.26 en Steinsaltz Tanakh Hebrew and English 2026-08-31 regarding David's "spoil" (hbo yes none שָׁלָל šālāl) in his commentary on the texts of the he-latn Nevi'im (hbo yes none נְבִיאִים neḇîʾîm Prophets): David came back to Tziklag, [and] he apparently rebuilt the city. David now possessed much plunder, as in addition to that which had been divided among the soldiers, the Amalekites had invaded various Israelite and Philistine cities throughout the South, and he sent from the spoils to the elders of Judah, to all those who were his friends, saying: Here is a gift for you from the spoils of the enemies of the .
