Shmuel Alef 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:22

And David left his carriage in the hand the keeper of the
carriage
That is, he left load of provisions he brought 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.

Shmuel Alef 17:22 In-Context

20 And Dovid rose up early in the boker, and left the tzon with a shomer (watchman), and loaded up, and embarked, as Yishai had commanded him; and he came to the camp, as the army was going forth to the fight and shouted for the milchamah (battle).

21 For Yisroel and the Pelishtim took their positions, ma’arakhah (battle array) facing ma’arakhah.

22 And Dovid left his supplies in the yad of the shomer hakelim (supply master), and ran into the ma’arakhah (battle line), and came and gave shalom greeting to his achim.

23 And as he talked with them, hinei, there came up the Ish HaBenayim Golyat HaPelishti shmo, from Gat, out of the lines of the Pelishtim, and spoke according to these words; and Dovid heard them.

24 And all the Ish Yisroel, when they saw the ish, fled from before him, and were greatly afraid.
