1 Samuel 30:10

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 Judges 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.
