Contextual Overview

21 David came to the 200 men who had been too tired to follow him and had been left at the river of Besor. They went out to meet David and the people who were with him. David came near the people and said hello to them. 22 Then all the sinful men of no worth who had gone with David said, "They did not go with us. So we will not give them anything of what we have taken, except for each man's wife and children. Each man may take them and go." 23 David said, "You must not do so with what the Lord has given us, my brothers. He has kept us safe and has given us the army that came against us. 24 Who would listen to you about this? The share of those who stay by our things will be the same as the share of those who go to the battle. They will share alike." 25 He made it a law for Israel from that day to this. 26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the things he had taken in battle to the leaders of Judah, his friends. He said, "See, here is a gift for you from what was taken from those who hate the Lord. 27 It is for those in Bethel, Ramoth of the Negev, Jattir, 28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa, 29 and Racal. It is for those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, the cities of the Kenites, 30 Hormah, Borashan, Athach,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Hormah: Joshua 19:4, Judges 1:17

Chorashan: Probably the same as Ashan in Simeon, Joshua 15:42, Joshua 19:7, which Eusebius says was sixteen miles west from Jerusalem.

Reciprocal: Numbers 21:3 - the name

Cross-References

Deuteronomy 11:10
For the land you are going in to take is not like the land you came from in Egypt. There you planted your seed and watered it using your feet, like a vegetable garden.
2 Corinthians 12:14
This is the third time I am ready to come to you. I want nothing from you. I want you, not your money. You are my children. Children should not have to help care for their parents. Parents should help their children.
1 Timothy 5:8
Anyone who does not take care of his family and those in his house has turned away from the faith. He is worse than a person who has never put his trust in Christ.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And to [them] which [were] in Hormah,.... This was a city also in the tribe of Judah; of which see Joshua 15:30;

and to [them] which [were] in Chorashan; or the lake of Ashan, which was in the same tribe, see Joshua 15:42;

and to [them] which [were] in Athach; nowhere else mentioned; the Greek version has Nombe instead of it, which some take to be the same with Nob; but that was in the tribe of Benjamin.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Chor-ashan - Perhaps the same as Ashan Joshua 15:42, in the Shephelah of Judah, inhabited by Simeonites, and one of the priests’ cities 1 Chronicles 4:32; 1 Chronicles 6:59.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:30. Hormah — The general name of those cities which belonged to Arad, king of Canaan; and were devoted to destruction by the Hebrews, and thence called Hormah. See Numbers 21:1-3.

In Chor-ashan — Probably the same as Ashan in the tribe of Judah: see Joshua 15:42. It was afterwards ceded to Simeon, Joshua 19:7.

To them which were in Athach — Probably the same as Ether, Joshua 19:7.
