Commentary on 1 Samuel 30:26

Theological / Devotional

A present. David was far from being selfish and penurious. During the years of his wanderings, not only had many in Judah joined him, but many others had given him provisions. Up to the present he had been unable to repay their kindnesses. Now at the first opportunity he sent liberal portions from his abundant spoil. This gesture would naturally pave the way for the continued friendship of his countrymen, now that he was returning to Hebron on the death of Saul.
