1 Samuel 30:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:19

And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor
great, neither sons nor daughters
Not any of the least or youngest, nor any of them that were grown up; for as these were not slain but carried captive, so they were brought back, and not one missing, see ( 1 Samuel 30:2 ) ;

neither spoil, nor any [thing] they had taken to them:
except the food they had eaten and the liquor they had drank, as before observed; and perhaps what they had ate and drank were none of theirs, but the Philistines: so that

David recovered all;
taken in the utmost extent.
