Contextual Overview
12Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men. 13His three older sons had followed Saul into battle. The names of his three sons who went to battle were Eliab, the firstborn; next, Abinadab; and third, Shammah. 14David was the youngest. Now the three oldest followed Saul, 15but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father's flock at Bethlehem. 16The Philistine [Goliath] came out morning and evening, and took his stand for forty days. 17Then Jesse said to David his son, "Take for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread and run quickly to the camp to your brothers. 18"Also take these ten cuts of cheese to the commander of the unit. See how your brothers are doing and bring back news of them. 19"Now they are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."20So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, picked up the provisions and went just as Jesse had directed him. And he came to the encampment as the army was going out in battle formation shouting the battle cry. 21Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle formation, army against army.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the valley: Dr. Richardson says, that in about twenty minutes, in an easterly direction, form the cave of St. John - which is about two hours or six miles, in a westerly direction, from Jerusalem they came to the valley of Elah; which position seems to agree with that of Shochoh and Azekah. He describes it as "a small valley, and the place of the encampment is pointed out where it narrows into a broad, deep ravine; part of it was in crop, and part of it was under the plough, which was drawn by a couple of oxen. A small stream, which had shrunk almost under its stony bed, passes through it from east to west, from which we are informed that David chose out five smooth stones, and hasted and ran to meet the haughty champion of Gath. A well of water under the bank, with a few olive trees above, on the north side of the valley, are said to mark the spot of the shepherd's triumph over his boasting antagonist. Saul and his men probably occupied the side of the valley which is nearest to Jerusalem, on which the ground is higher and more rugged than on the other side." 1 Samuel 17:19
Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 17:2 - the valley

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Saul, and they,.... That is, the sons of Jesse, and brethren of David:
and all the men of Israel; the soldiers in the army:
were in the valley Elah; or "by" it, near unto it; for they were set in array on the mountain on the side of it:
fighting with the Philistines; not actually engaged in battle, but drawn up for it; prepared and in readiness to engage whenever it was necessary, or they were obliged to it; and perhaps there might be now and then some skirmishes in the outer parts of the camp.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 17:19. Fighting with the Philistines. — See at the end of the chapter. 1 Samuel 17:58.
