サムエル記上 22:4-5 JC

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 22:1-5

1-5 See what weak instruments God sometimes uses, to bring about his own purposes. The Son of David is ready to receive distressed souls, who will be commanded by him. He receives all who come unto Him, however vile and miserable; he changes them into a holy people, and employs them in his service: those who would reign with him must be contented first to suffer with and for him. Observe with what tender concern David provided for his aged parents. The first thing he does is to find them a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Samuel 22:1-5

David a Fugitive in Judah and Moab v. 1. David, therefore, because he could find no refuge in the land of the Philistines, departed thence and escaped to the cave Adullam, in the foothills of the Judean mountains, about sixteen miles southwest of Jerusalem; and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him, all his nearest relatives joined him, evidently because they feared the revenge of Saul upon their entire family; for it was nothing unusual for an... read more

IV. David’s fugitive life in Judah and Moab. Saul’s murder of the priests at Nob1 Samuel 22:1-231David therefore [And David] departed thence, and escaped to the cave1 Adullam; and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down 2thither to him. And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented [embittered in soul] gathered themselves unto him, and he became a [om. a] captain over them; and there were with him 3about... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:1-10

Captain of an Outlawed Band 1 Samuel 22:1-10 What a striking analogy there is between the gathering of these outlawed men to David, and the attraction of publicans and sinners, in all ages, to Christ! He also is outlawed by “the prince of this world.” To find Christ, we must go outside the camp, where He has set up the standard of His cross. How many of those who were in distress or in debt, or who were “bitter of soul,” 1 Samuel 22:2 , r.v. margin, have gathered to Him and have been... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 22:1-23

Leaving Gath, David took refuge in the cave of Adullam, where there gathered to him a band of the outcasts of his own people. They are graphically described as those in "distress," in "debt," and "discontented." It is quite possible that the condition of these people was the, result of the oppressions they had suffered under Saul. In any case, from the standpoint of Saul's reign, they were considered dangerous people, and were outcast. What happened to them in their contact with David is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 22:3-5

David Ensures The Safety Of His Father And Mother (1 Samuel 22:3-4 ). The cave was no place for his ageing father and mother, and so David went to Mizpeh of Moab and asked the king of Moab if he would watch over them for him. We do not know how he had become acquainted with the king of Moab, but we do know that he had Moabite blood in his veins from his great-grandmother 1sa (1 Samuel 4:17). It would seem therefore that there had been previous contact, either through his father, or when he... read more

1 Samuel 22. David at Adullam and Moab: Massacre at Nob (J).— The series of narratives in ch. 22 may very well come from the same ancient document, and be the continuation of 1 Samuel 21:1-:. 1 Samuel 22:1 f. David takes refuge at Adullam (p. 31), about 12 miles SW. of Bethlehem: he is joined by his clan and by various unsatisfactory characters, to the number of about 400, i.e. he becomes a captain of bandits. 1 Samuel 22:3-Deuteronomy : . David takes his father and mother for safety to the... read more

Before the king of Moab; into his presence, that he might see them, and give them leave to dwell in his dominion. In the hold; either, 1. In Mizpeh of Moab, which was a very strong hold. But it is apparent he speaks of some hold where his father and mother were exposed to fear and danger from Saul, which they were not in the king of Moab’s royal city. Or, 2. In the cave of Adullam, mentioned above, 1 Samuel 22:1. Or, 3. In holes; the singular number being put for the plural, as is frequent;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 22:5

Abide not in the hold; do not shut up thyself in holes and holds. Get thee into the land of Judah; go and show thyself in the land of Judah, that thou mayst publicly put in thy claim to the kingdom after Saul’s death, and that thy friends may be invited and encouraged to appear on thy behalf. Hereby also God would exercise David’s faith, and wisdom, and courage; and so prepare him for the kingdom, and uphold and increase his reputation among the people. In the forest of Hareth there were many... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:1-4

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—1 Samuel 22:1. “Adullam.” “The site of Adullam (mentioned in Joshua 15:35, etc) has not yet been identified, but from the mention of it in the above and other passages in proximity with other known towns, it is likely that it was near Deir Dûbban, five or six miles north of Eleutheropolis … The limestone cliffs of the whole of that locality are pierced with extensive excavations (Robinson ii. 23, 51–53), some one of which was possibly the refuge of David.”... read more
