Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 30:16

_ _ 1 Samuel 30:16-31. And recovers his two wives and all the spoil.

_ _ they were spread abroad upon all the earth — Believing that David and all his men of war were far away, engaged with the Philistine expedition, they deemed themselves perfectly secure and abandoned themselves to all manner of barbaric revelry. The promise made in answer to the devout inquiries of David (1 Samuel 30:8) was fulfilled. The marauders were surprised and panic-stricken. A great slaughter ensued — the people as well as the booty taken from Ziklag was recovered, besides a great amount of spoil which they had collected in a wide, freebooting excursion.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 30:7-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 30:16

Upon all the earth — Secure and careless, because they were now come almost to the borders of their own country, and the Philistines and Israelites both were otherwise engaged, and David, as they believed, with them. So they had no visible cause of danger; and yet then they were nearest to destruction.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were]

spread abroad upon all the earth, (h) eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

(h) The wicked in their pomp and pleasures do not consider the judgment of God, which is then at hand to smite them.
