 * the sheepcotes.
   Caves in the rocks, in which it is still common for shepherds
   and their flocks to lodge.  Dr. Pococke observes, "Beyond the
   valley [of Tekoa,] there is a very large grotto, which the
   Arabs call El-Maamah, a hiding place:  the high rocks on each
   side of the valley are almost perpendicular; and the way to
   the grotto is by a terrace formed in the rock, which is very
   narrow.  There are two entrances into it; we went by the
   farthest, which leads by a narrow passage into a very large
   grotto, the rock being supported by natural pillars; the top
   of it rises in several places like domes; the grotto is
   perfectly dry.  There is a tradition, that the people of the
   country, to the number of 30,000, retired into this grotto, to
   avoid a bad air.  This place is so strong, that one would
   imagine it to be one of the strong holds of En-gedi, to which
   David and his men fled from Saul:  and possibly it may be that
   very cave in which he cut off Saul's skirt; for David and his
   men might, with good ease, lie hid there and not be seen by
   him."  Travels, vol. ii. P. 1. p. 41.

 39  David takes Abigail and Ahinoam to be his wives.

 * possessions were.  or, business was.  Carmel.
   Not the famous mount Carmel, in the north of Canaan, and in
   the tribe of Asher; but a city, on a mountain of the same
   name, in the south of Judah, which seems to have given name to
   the surrounding territory.  Eusebius and Jerome inform us,
   that there was in their time a town called Carmelia, ten miles
   east from Hebron, where the Romans kept a garrison, whose
   position well agrees with this Carmel.

 * man.

 * three thousand.
 # Ge 13:2 Job 1:3 42:12
 * shearing.
   This was a very ancient custom, and appears to have been
   always attended with festivity.  The ancient Romans, however,
   used to pluck off the wool from the sheep's backs; and hence a
   fleece was called {vellus,} a {vellendo,} from plucking it
   off.  Pliny says, that in his time sheep were not shorn every
   where, but in some places the wool was still plucked off.

 # 10,11,17 Ps 10:3 Isa 32:5-7
 * and he was.
   {Wehoo calibbee,} literally, "and he was a Calebite;" but as
   the word {cailev} signifies a dog, the Septuagint has
   understood it as implying a man of canine disposition, and
   translated it, [kai anthropov kunikos,] "and he was a
   doggish man."  It is understood in the same way by the Syriac
   and Arabic.
15823

 # Ge 38:13 2Sa 13:23

 * thy shepherds.
   In those times, and at the present day, wandering Arabs, under
   their several chiefs, think that they have a right to exact
   contributions of provisions, etc., wherever they come.  But
   David, though he lived in the wilderness like the Arab emirs,
   had not adopted their manners:  one of them, at the head of
   600 men, would have demanded, from time to time, some
   provision or present from Nabal's servants, for permitting
   them to feed at quiet; and would have driven them away from
   the watering place upon any dislike.  David had done nothing
   of this kind; but had protected them against those who would.

 # 34 Nu 16:46-48 Pr 6:4,5 Mt 5:25
 * took two.
   The Eastern bread is generally both thin and small; and
   answers to our cakes.

 # Ge 32:13-20 43:11-14 2Sa 17:28,29 Pr 18:16 21:14

   That is, two goatskins' full.

 * five sheep.
   Not one sheep to one hundred men.

 * clusters.  Heb. lumps.  Raisins dried in the sun.
 # 2Sa 16:1
 * cakes of figs.
   Figs cured and then pressed together.  Now all this provision
   was a matter of little worth; and had it been granted in the
   first instance, it would have perfectly satisfied David, and
   secured his good offices.
15838

 # Ge 32:16,20
 * But.
 # Pr 31:11,12,27

   David was coming down mount Paran; Abigail was coming down
   from Carmel.

 # 1Pe 2:20 3:17
15841
 * So and more.
   Nothing can justify this conduct of David, which was rash,
   unjust, and cruel in the extreme.  David himself condemns it,
   and thanks God for being prevented from executing this evil.

 # 3:17 14:44 20:13,16 Ru 1:17

   This seems to have been a proverbial expression among the
   Israelites; and may with the utmost propriety be read "any
   male."

   The metaphors in this verse are derived from the
   consideration, that things of value are collected together,
   and often tied up in bundles, like sheaves of corn, to prevent
   their being scattered and lost, and that whatever is put into
   a sling is not intended to be preserved, but to be thrown
   away.
