Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 17:18

_ _ carry these ten cheeses to the captain — to enlist his kind attention. Oriental cheeses are very small; and although they are frequently made of so soft a consistence as to resemble curds, those which David carried seem to have been fully formed, pressed, and sufficiently dried to admit of their being carried.

_ _ take their pledge — Tokens of the soldiers’ health and safety were sent home in the convenient form of a lock of their hair, or piece of their nail, or such like.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 17:12-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 17:18

Pledge — That is, bring me some token of their welfare.

1 Samuel 17:18

And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of [their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their (e) pledge.

(e) If they have laid anything to gauge for their necessity, redeem it out.
