²¹ And Dauid came to the two hundred men, that were to weery for to folowe Dauid, whom they had made also to abyde at the ryuer Befor: And they came to meete Dauid & the people that were with him: And when Dauid came to the people, he saluted them. ²² Then aunswered all the wicked and the vnthryftes of the men that went with Dauid, and saide: Because they went not with vs, therfore wil we geue them none of the pray that we haue recouered: But let euery man take his wife and his children, those let them carry away and departe. ²³ Then sayd Dauid: Ye shall not do so my brethren with that which the Lord hath geuen vs, who hath preserued vs, and delyuered the company that came against vs, into our handes. ²⁴ For who will hearke vnto you in this matter? But as his parte is that goeth downe and fighteth, so shall his parte be that tarryeth by the stuffe: they shall parte alyke. ²⁵ And so from that day forward, was that made a statute and lawe in Israel, vnto this day, ²⁶ When Dauid therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the pray vnto the elders of Iuda and to his friendes, saying: See, there is a blessing for you of the spoyle of the enemies of the Lorde. ²⁷ He sent to them of Bethel, to them of south Ramoth, to them of Iathir, ²⁸ To them of Aroer, to them of Sephamoth, to them of Esthema, ²⁹ To them of Rachal, to them of the cities of Ierahmeel, to them of the cities of the Kenites, ³⁰ To them of Horma, to them of Chorashan, to them of Athach,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And to [them] which [were] in Aroer,.... Not Aroer in the tribe of Gad beyond Jordan, where David is never said to be, but some city of this name in the tribe of Judah; the Greek version of

Joshua 15:22, instead of Adadah, has Arouel:

and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth; which very probably was in the tribe of Judah, though nowhere else mentioned:

and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa; a Levitical city given to the Levites by the children of Judah, Joshua 21:14.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Aroer - Not Aroer on the Arnon, but (if rightly written) some town in Judah, not elsewhere named.

Siphmoth, Rachal 1 Samuel 30:29, and Athach 1 Samuel 30:30, are unknown and not elsewhere mentioned; but Zabdi the Shiphmite 1 Chronicles 27:27, who was over David’s wine-cellars, was evidently a native of the first-named place. It is a remarkable proof of the grateful nature of David, and of his fidelity to his early friendships, as well as a curious instance of undesigned coincidence, that we find among those employed by David in offices of trust in the height of his power so many inhabitants of those obscure places where he found friends in the days of his early difficulties. Ezri the son of Chelub, Shimei the Ramathite, and Zabdi the Shiphmite, as well as Ira and Gareb, and Ittai, and Hezrai, and many others, were probably among these friends of his youth.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:28. In Aroer — Situated beyond Jordan, on the banks of the river Arnon, in the tribe of God.

Siphmoth — Supposed to be the same with Shepham, Numbers 34:10, on the eastern border of the promised land.

Eshtemoa — Another city in the tribe of Judah. See Joshua 15:50.
