1 Samuel 30:20

20 También recuperó los rebaños y las manadas, y sus hombres los arrearon delante de los demás animales. «¡Este botín le pertenece a David!», dijeron.

1 Samuel 30:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:20

And David took all the flocks, and the herds
Which they had taken from the land of the Philistines, or which belonged to the Amalekites properly:

[which] they drave before those [other] cattle;
which had been carried from Ziklag; first went the spoil taken from other places, and then those taken from David and his men, or what was found at Ziklag. Abarbinel supposes the meaning to be this, that the herds were driven before the flocks, that the oxen were led out first, and then the sheep followed, as being the weaker sort, and more easily to be driven, and carried off; but the former sense seems best:

and said, this [is] David's spoil;
either the whole of it, it being owing to him that it was got or brought back; or this may respect some peculiar part of it made a present of to him; or it may design what the Amalekites had taken from others, which was at the disposal of David, as distinguished from what was taken from Ziklag, and was restored, or to be restored to the proper owners: it may be taken in the first and more general sense, as being the song, or the burden of the song, sung by David's men as they returned with the spoil, giving him all the honour of it, of whom, but a little before, they talked of stoning.

1 Samuel 30:20 In-Context

18 Así que David recuperó todo lo que los amalecitas habían tomado y rescató a sus dos esposas.

19 No faltaba nada: fuera grande o pequeño, hijo o hija, ni ninguna otra cosa que se habían llevado. David regresó con todo.

20 También recuperó los rebaños y las manadas, y sus hombres los arrearon delante de los demás animales. «¡Este botín le pertenece a David!», dijeron.

21 Luego David regresó al arroyo de Besor y se encontró con los doscientos hombres que se habían quedado rezagados porque estaban demasiado cansados para seguir con él. Entonces salieron para encontrarse con David y con sus hombres, y David los saludó con alegría.

22 Pero unos alborotadores entre los hombres de David dijeron:
—Ellos no fueron con nosotros, así que no pueden tener nada del botín que recuperamos. Denles sus esposas e hijos y díganles que se vayan.
