1Sa_27:6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.

Ver. 6. Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day.] Hungry Ziklag - augustia sextarii, so it signifieth, saith Pagnine - where David and his men were hard put to it for a poor subsistence; but it was fittest for his purpose, being an outter town, that he might forrage, and fetch in spoil undiscovered. And besides, it became a rendezvous for his friends out of Judea to resort unto him, as they did for his better advancement to the kingdom. {1Ch_12:1; 1Ch_12:22} But it was impoliticly done of Achish to assign him to such a city as belonged to Judea, {Jos_15:31} and bordered thereon.
