Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 23:13 - six hundred 1 Samuel 25:13 - two hundred 2 Samuel 2:3 - his men
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.
