Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:2

Theological / Devotional

Carmel. A town a little more than a mile north of Maon, on the crest of the mountains. All the water east of this place flows into the Dead Sea; all the water west flows into the Mediterranean. The Wilderness of Maon, a sparsely settled district full of dry wadies, lies to the east and south of Carmel. During their stay in the wilderness of Ziph and Maon (chapter 23:24-26), before the removal to En-gedi (chapter 23:29), David and his men had become acquainted with the shepherds of Nabal, and had left a most favorable impression. Living close to the desert, Nabal was constantly exposed to marauding bands.

The town is now known as Kennel.
