Juga dari orang Gad ada yang memisahkan diri dan pergi kepada Daud ke kubu di padang gurun, yakni pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah perkasa, orang-orang yang sanggup berperang, yang pandai menggunakan perisai dan tombak, dan rupa mereka seperti singa dan cepatnya seperti kijang di atas pegunungan.
Maka dari pada orang Gadpun adalah yang menceraikan dirinya lalu datang mendapatkan Daud, tatkala ia di tempat-tempat yang tiada terhampiri di padang belantara, semua orang perkasa yang tahu perang dan yang berdiri berbaris-baris dengan perisai dan lembing, maka muka mereka itu seperti muka singa dan pantasnya seperti kijang di gunung.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David, into the hold to the wilderness,.... Men of the tribe of Gad, who lived on the other side Jordan; these separated themselves from the rest of their tribe, from their families and dwellings, and from the government of Saul, and came over to David, and joined him either when he was in some strong hold in the wilderness of Ziph, or Maon, 1 Samuel 23:14, or, as some think, when he was at Ziklag, in the hold there, said to be in the wilderness of Judah:
men of might, and men of war, fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler; warlike, valiant, and courageous men, well skilled in military discipline: whose faces were like the face of lions; bold, stern, and fierce. The philosopher observes d, that of all creatures the lion most resembles a man, having a great mouth, a square face and forehead, large eye brows, c.
and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains which are remarkable for their swiftness on the mountains, see Song of Solomon 2:17. Aelianus e speaks of one sort of them that run as swift as a tempest. These Gadites, as with their undaunted looks and courage, intimidated their enemies, and put them to flight, so they were swift to pursue them, and overtake them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Into the hold to the wilderness - Rather, “into the hold toward the wilderness.” Some understand by this Ziklag, some En-gedi 1 Samuel 24:1-2; but it seems most probable that here and in 1 Chronicles 12:16 the stronghold of Adullam is intended 1 Chronicles 11:15-16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 12:8. And were as swift as the roes — That swiftness was considered to be a grand accomplishment in a warrior, appears from all ancient writings which treat of military affairs.
