Commentary on 1 Samuel 30:5

Theological / Devotional

The Jezreelitess. “Ahinoam the Jezreelitess” was the mother of David’s first-born son Amnon, who later seduced his half sister Tamar (2 Sam. 13). There were at least two Jezreels in Palestine; one in the tribe of Issachar (Joshua 19:18), where the Israelites were then fighting against the Philistines; another in Judah (Joshua 15:54-56), closely associated with such places as Hebron, Maon, Ziph, etc. Some have located this Jezreel between Ziph and Carmel at a site now known as Khirbet Terrama, but the site is uncertain.
