Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 30:20

20 And David took all the flocks, and the herds : which they drave before those other cattel , and said. This is Davids spoil .

To wit, which the Amalekites had taken from the Philistines or others.

Before those who belonged to Ziklag.

i. e. The Soldiers, who lately were so incensed against David, that they spake of Stoning him: now upon this success Magnifie him, and Triumphantly celebrate his Praise; and say concerning this spoil, David purchased [illegible: 1 word] by his Valour and Conduct, and he may dispose of it as he pleaseth.
