Commentary on 1 Samuel 30:31

Theological / Devotional

All the places. As one anointed to be king, David gave evidence of his generous spirit by demonstrating regal liberality. The record does not mention gifts to the elders of Keilah, nor to the unfriendly town of Ziph (see ch. 23:11, 12, 19), although they may have been included in “all the places.”

The fact that he gave to “all the places” shows how dependent David was on the hospitality of various parts of the land of Judah.
