Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek,.... Not the city in the tribe of Judah of that name, Joshua 15:53; where the Philistines had a camp in the time of Samuel, 1 Samuel 4:1; but rather that in the tribe of Asher, Joshua 19:30; unless there was one of this name in the tribe of Issachar, not mentioned, since it seems to have been near Jezreel and Shunem, which were both in that tribe, Joshua 19:18;

and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel; in the valley of Jezreel; of which Joshua 19:18- : and

Joshua 19:18- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A fountain - Probably, the fine spring Ain-Jalud. It is impossible to say what the special circumstances were which led to the struggle between Israel and the Philistines taking place so far north as the plain of Jezreel. Possibly it was connected with some movements of the Aramaic tribes to the north of Palestine. See 2 Samuel 8:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIX

The Philistines gather their armies together against Israel,

and encamp at Aphek; while the Israelites encamp at Jezreel, 1.

The lords of the Philistines refuse to let David go to battle

with them, lest he should betray them, 2-5.

Achish expresses his confidence in David; but begs him to

return, 6-10.

David and his men return, 11.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXIX

Verse 1 Samuel 29:1. To Aphek — This was a place in the valley of Jezreel, between Mounts Tabor and Gilboa.

Pitched by a fountain — To be near a fountain, or copious spring of water, was a point of great importance to an army in countries such as these, where water was so very scarce. It is supposed, as William of Tyre says, that it was at this same fountain that Saladin pitched his camp, while Baldwin, king of Jerusalem, pitched his by another fountain between Nazareth and Sephoris; each being anxious to secure that without which it was impossible for their armies to subsist.
