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.

1 Samuel 30:19 In-Context

17 Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped {except} four hundred young men who rode [off] on camels and fled.

18 So David recovered all that [the] Amalekites had taken; David also rescued his two wives.

19 None of theirs [was] missing {from the smallest to the greatest}, even sons and daughters, from [the] plunder up to everything they had taken for themselves; David brought back everything.

20 And David took all of the sheep, and the cattle they drove along in front of that livestock, and they said, "This [is] David's plunder."

21 Then David came to [the] two hundred men {who had been too exhausted to follow} David; they had left them behind at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. David came near with the people and {asked them how they were doing}.
