Shmuel Alef 30:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:4

Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up their
voice
In doleful shrieks, and loud lamentations:

and wept, until they had no more power to weep;
till nature was quite exhausted, and no moisture left; so the Vulgate Latin version, "till tears failed in them"; they could shed no more.

Shmuel Alef 30:4 In-Context

2 And had captured the nashim, that were therein; they killed not any, either gadol or katon, but carried them off, and went on their derech.

3 So Dovid and his anashim came to the Ir, and, hinei, it was aflame with eish; and their nashim, and their banim, and their banot, had been taken captive.

4 Then Dovid and HaAm that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more ko’ach to weep.

5 And Dovid’s two nashim were taken captive, Achinoam the Yizre’elit, and Avigal eshet Naval the Carmeli.

6 And Dovid was greatly distressed; for HaAm spoke of stoning him, because the nefesh of kol HaAm was marah (bitter), every ish for his banim and for his banot; but Dovid made himself chazak in Hashem Elohav.
