This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_30:22 Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
Ver. 22. Of those that went with David.] As good as he was, he had bad men and Belialists in his retinue: although he had done his part by them to make them better. {Psa_34:11; Psa_34:1, with title}
Because they went not with us.] But did they not as good service in staying behind, and guarding the carriages? which if it had not been done, you would have fought but faintly.
We will not give them aught.] A man had as good deal with a cannibal, as with a truly covetous captive.
