Commentary

Now it came to pass after the death of Saul,.... The third day after, as appears from the next verse: when David was retur ned from the slaughter of the Amalekites; as related in Sa1 30:17 , and David had abode two days in Ziklag; which, though fired by the Amalekites, was not utterly consumed, but there was still some convenience for the lodging of David and his men; within this time he sent his presents to several places in the tribe of Judah, of which mention is made in the chapter before quoted, and at the same time it was that so many mighty men came to him from several tribes spoken of in Ch1 12:1 .
