Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Samuel 30:1
DAVID PURSUED THE AMALEKITES AND DEFEATED THEM;DAVID AND HIS MEN RETURNED TO ZIKLAG"Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid upon the Negeb and upon Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag, and burned it with fire, and taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great; they killed no one, but carried them off and went their way. And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 30:1-2
1 Samuel 30:1-2. The Amalekites had invaded the south— These Amalekites appear to have been clans of straggling freebooters, who rambled from place to place, and were common enemies of mankind; like the Arabian Hordes, living upon rapine and plunder wherever they came.

1.

Of course, David's town suffered from the ravages of these nomad plunderers, in revenge for his recent raid upon their territory. read more

2. they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away—Their conduct seems to stand in favorable contrast to that of David ( :-). But their apparent clemency did not arise from humane considerations. It is traceable to the ancient war usages of the East, where the men of war, on the capture of a city, were unsparingly put to death, but there were no warriors in Ziklag at the time. The women and boys were reserved for slaves, and the old people were spared out of respect to age. read more

3. David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire—The language implies that the smoke of the conflagration was still visible, and the sacking very recent. :-. BUT DAVID, ENCOURAGED BY GOD, PURSUES THEM. read more
