Commentary

And David left his carriage in the hand the keeper of the carriage,.... That is, he left load of provisions he brough t with him in the hand of the keeper of the bag and baggage of the army, their clothes, and such like things; not having an opportunity to deliver them to his brethren, who were just going to engage in battle: and ran into the army; which showed the valour and courage of David, who chose rather to expose himself in battle, than to abide with the keeper of the carriages: and came and saluted his brethren; asked them of their welfare, in his father's name and his own.
