This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Sa_30:10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

Ver. 10. He and four hundred men.] For those six hundred were too many for God to work by, as Jdg_7:4. He delighteth to help his people "with a little help." {Dan_11:34}



For two hundred abode behind.] Being either so weary, or so lazy, for the word will bear both, saith Vatablus, {a} that they marched no farther. Piscator noteth, that of the Hebrew word here used cometh pheger, for a dead carcass: to show that these two hundred were so weak and weary, that they were well nigh dead.



{a} ôâøå significat et lassum esse et pigrum esse.
