1 Samuel 30:25

And it has been so from that day forward. David established this policy as a law and an ordinance for Israel and it still continues today. It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Yisra'el to this day. And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. So from that day and beyond, he made it a rule and a regulation for Israel until this day. And he made it a statute and a rule for Israel from that day forward to this day. David made this an order and rule for Israel, which continues even today. From that time onward it was a binding ordinance for Israel, right up to the present time. So from that day forward he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day. So it has been from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day. So from that day forward hee made it a statute and a lawe in Israel, vntill this day.

Contextual Overview

21When David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to go with him and had been left at the Wadi Besor, they came out to meet him and to meet the troops with him. When David approached the men, he greeted them, 21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him: and when David came near to the people, he greeted them. 21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. 21 Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David; they had left them behind at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. David came near with the people and asked them how they were doing. 21 Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it was [so] from that day forward,.... Or "upwards" x, of old, formerly; and so may refer either to what was done at the war with Midian, Numbers 31:27; or in the times of Abraham, Genesis 14:23; and so Jarchi observes, it is not said, "henceforward", but "upwards", it being a statute and custom in the days of Abraham; the same he notes on Genesis 14:24; where he, David, learnt this from thence; though Josephus y is express for it, that this law obtained from the time of David; and such was his authority, though as yet not king, but a wise and just commander:

that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day; it appeared so reasonable and equitable, that it was always regarded and attended to.

x ומעלה "et supra", Pagninus, Montanus; "et jam olim", Tigurine version. y Antiqu. l. 6. c, 14. sect. 6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:25. He made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel — Nothing could be more just and proper than this law: he who stays at home to defend house and property, has an equal right to the booty taken by those who go out to the war. There was a practice of this kind among the Israelites long before this time; see Numbers 31:27; Joshua 22:8; and the note on this latter verse. Joshua 22:8.

Unto this day. — This is another indication that this book was composed long after the facts it commemorates. See the hypothesis in the preface.
