Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they gave him a piece of cake of figs,.... That were dried and pressed together, and made into cakes:

and two clusters of raisins; or dried grapes, as the Targum:

and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; he seemed to be quite dispirited, almost lifeless, but upon eating some food he was refreshed, and his spirits revived, and he was capable of conversing:

for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, three days and three nights; that is, one whole day, and part of two days, as appears from

1 Samuel 30:13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Three days and three nights - Indicating that at least so long a time had elapsed since the sack of Ziklag.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 30:12. A cake of figs — See on 1 Samuel 25:18.
