SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:14
pues hicimos una incursión a la parte del mediodía de Cereti, y a Judá, y al mediodía de Caleb; y pusimos fuego a Siclag.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 30:14
Verse 14. Upon the south of the Cherethites] Calmet and others maintain, that the ytrk kerethi, which, without the points, might be read Creti, were not only at this time Philistines, but that they were aborigines of Crete, from which they had their name Cherethites or Cretans, and are those of whom Zephaniah speaks, Zeph. ii. 5: Wo to the inhabitants of the sea-coasts, the nation of the Cherethites. And by Ezekiel, Ezek. xxv. 16: Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and will cut off the Cherethim. In 2 Sam. xv. 18 we find that the Cherethites formed a part of David's guards. South of Caleb] Somewhere about Kirjath-arba, or Hebron, and Kirjath-sepher; these being in the possession of Caleb and his descendants.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites , etc.] The Philistines so called, or at least one nation of them, such that dwelt to the south of the land, ( 1 Samuel 30:16); (see Gill on “ Zephaniah 2:5”); and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah ; the south of Judah, where David pretended he had been, and had spoiled, and which was now actually done by the Amalekites, ( 1 Samuel 27:10); and upon the south of Caleb ; that part of the tribe of Judah which belonged to Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and his posterity, and which was the southern part of it, ( Joshua 15:19); and we burnt Ziklag with fire ; and then departed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-15 - If in all our ways, even when, as in this case, there can be no doub they are just, we acknowledge God, we may expect that he will direc our steps, as he did those of David. David, in tenderness to his men would by no means urge them beyond their strength. The Son of Davi thus considers the frames of his followers, who are not all alik strong and vigorous in their spiritual pursuits and conflicts; but where we are weak, there he is kind; nay more, there he is strong, 2C 12:9, 10. A poor Egyptian lad, scarcely alive, is made the means of great deal of good to David. Justly did Providence make this poor servant, who was basely used by his master, an instrument in the destruction of the Amalekites; for God hears the cry of the oppressed Those are unworthy the name of true Israelites, who shut up their compassion from persons in distress. We should neither do an injury no deny a kindness to any man; some time or other it may be in the powe of the lowest to return a kindness or an injury.
