SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:16
Y así lo llevó; y he aquí que estaban derramados sobre la faz de toda la tierra, comiendo y bebiendo y haciendo fiesta, por toda aquella gran presa que habían tomado de la tierra de los filisteos, y de la tierra de Judá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 30:16
Verse 16. Out of the land of the Philistines] That these Amalekites were enemies to the Philistines is evident, but it certainly does not follow from this that those whom David destroyed were enemies also. This, I think, has been too hastily assumed by Dr. Chandler and others, in order the better to vindicate the character of David.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And when he had brought him down , etc.] To the place where the company of the Amalekites were, or near it: behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth ; they were not in any regular order, and much less in any military form, but lay about in the fields, scattered here and there, were in detached parties: some eating and drinking ; in one place: and dancing ; others, in another place, expressing their joy, and perhaps their thankfulness to their idols because of the great spoil they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah ; from Ziklag, and from the south of the Cherethites, and the south of Judah, they had invaded, ( 1 Samuel 30:14); and here they were in the greatest security; knowing: that the armies of the Philistines were gone into the land of Israel, and were about to engage in battle with the Israelites, and David they supposed was with the Philistines, so that they had nothing to fear from any quarter; and thus it is often, that when men cry peace, peace, sudden destruction comes upon them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-20 - Sinners are nearest to ruin, when they cry, Peace and safety, and pu the evil day far from them. Nor does any thing give our spiritual enemies more advantage than sensuality and indulgence. Eating an drinking, and dancing, have been the soft and pleasant way in whic many have gone down to the congregation of the dead. The spoil wa recovered, and brought off; nothing was lost, but a great deal gained.
