Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial.--The scene here related chronicles an act of greed and of heartless covetousness--an act that has been many times repeated in the world's history. The wise compiler of the book chose it as part of the memoirs of David, which were to be preserved in the sacred volume, because it was another authoritative declaration on the part of the beloved king respecting a question which would crop up again and again on the conclusion of a campaign. The chronicler was justified in his selection, for this famous decision of David continued in force until the time of the Maccabees. (See 2 Maccabees 8:28-30.) A somewhat similar law was enacted by Moses. (See Numbers 31:27.) The dispute arose thus: The victorious troop with their enormous booty quickly re turned to the brook Besor, where the 200 that had broken down on the rapid march had been left to guard the baggage. David salutes these with all kindly courtesy; but the harmony which prevailed in the little camp is speedily broken owing to the highhanded claims of the 400 who had actually taken part in the rescue. These refused to share the booty with their comrades who had been left behind, only proposing just to restore to them their wives and those things of their own which had been recovered from the Amalekites. David, however, refused to listen to these iniquitous claims, and decided that all the fighting part of the force, and those men who had stayed behind and guarded the baggage at the brook Besor, should share alike.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewbut allכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe wickedרָ֣ע (rā‘)Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, eviland worthlessוּבְלִיַּ֗עַל (ū·ḇə·lî·ya·‘al)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1100: Without profit, worthlessness, destruction, wickedness menאִֽישׁ־ (’îš-)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personamong those whoאֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thathad goneהָלְכ֣וּ (hā·lə·ḵū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkwithעִם־ (‘im-)PrepositionStrong's 5973: With, equally withDavidדָּוִד֒ (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessesaid,וַיַּ֜עַן (way·ya·‘an)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6030: To answer, respond“Becauseיַ֚עַן (ya·‘an)AdverbStrong's 3282: Heed, purpose, to indicate the reason, causethey did notלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nogoהָלְכ֣וּ (hā·lə·ḵū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkwith us,עִמִּ֔י (‘im·mî)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 5973: With, equally withwe will notלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noshare with themנִתֵּ֣ן (nit·tên)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common pluralStrong's 5414: To give, put, setthe plunderמֵהַשָּׁלָ֖ל (mê·haš·šā·lāl)Preposition-m, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7998: A prey, spoil, plunder, bootywe recovered,הִצַּ֑לְנוּ (hiṣ·ṣal·nū)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - first person common pluralStrong's 5337: To strip, plunder, deliver oneself, be delivered, snatch away, deliverexceptכִּֽי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionfor eachמֵֽהָאֲנָשִׁים֮ (mê·hā·’ă·nā·šîm)Preposition-m, Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personman’s wifeאִשְׁתּוֹ֙ (’iš·tōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femaleand children.בָּנָ֔יו (bā·nāw)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1121: A sonThey may takeוְיִנְהֲג֖וּ (wə·yin·hă·ḡū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 5090: To drive forth, lead, carry away, to proceed, to sighthem and go.?וְיֵלֵֽכוּ׃ (wə·yê·lê·ḵū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkJump to PreviousAught Base Belial Children David Depart Except Fellows Lead Ought Recovered Save Spoil Wicked Wife
