Contextual Overview

⁷ David said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring me the holy vest." ⁸ Then David asked the Lord , "Should I chase the people who took our families? Will I catch them?" The Lord answered, "Chase them. You will catch them, and you will succeed in saving your families." ⁹ David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Ravine, where some of the men stayed. ¹⁰ David and four hundred men kept up the chase. The other two hundred men stayed behind because they were too tired to cross the ravine. ¹¹ They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David. They gave the Egyptian some water to drink and some food to eat. ¹² And they gave him a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. Then he felt better, because he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and nights. ¹³ David asked him, "Who is your master? Where do you come from?" He answered, "I'm an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. Three days ago my master left me, because I was sick. ¹⁴ We had raided the southern area of the Kerethites, the land of Judah, and the southern area of Caleb. We burned Ziklag, as well." ¹⁵ David asked him, "Can you lead me to the people who took our families?" He answered, "Yes, if you promise me before God that you won't kill me or give me back to my master. Then I will take you to them." ¹⁶ So the Egyptian led David to the Amalekites. They were lying around on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating with the things they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him,.... Encouraged by the oracle of the Lord:

and came to the brook Besor; which Adrichomius q places in the tribe of Simeon; it is thought to be near Gaza. Aristaeus r speaks of brooks that flowed by Gaza and Ashdod, places that belonged to the Philistines; some take it to be the river of the wilderness in Amos,

:-:

where those that were left behind stayed: or a part of them were left, as the Targum; all the six hundred came to this brook, but two hundred of them were left here, 1 Samuel 30:10 shows, and stayed here till the rest returned; for this is not to be understood of any that were left behind at Ziklag, for all came from thence to this brook.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Besor - Thought to be the stream of the Wady Sheriah which enters the sea a little south of Gaza.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:9. The brook Besor — This had its source in the mountain of Idumea, and fell into the Mediterranean Sea beyond Gaza. Some suppose it to have been the same with the river of the wilderness, or the river of Egypt. The sense of this and the following verse is, that when they came to the brook Besor, there were found two hundred out of his six hundred men so spent with fatigue that they could proceed no farther. The baggage or stuff was left there, 1 Samuel 30:24, and they were appointed to guard it.
