SEV Biblia
Y moró David con Aquis en Gat, él y los suyos, cada uno con su familia; David con sus dos mujeres, Ahinoam jezreelita, y Abigail, la que fue mujer de Nabal el del Carmelo.
Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. Every man with his household] So it appears that the men who consorted with David had wives
and families. David and his company resembled a tribe of the wandering Arabs.
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 3. And David dwelt with Achish at Gath , etc.] The metropolis of his kingdom, called, ( 1 Samuel 27:5), the royal city: he and his men, every man with his household ; or family; which they brought with them, to secure them from the malice of Saul; who in their absence might have destroyed them, as being the families of traitors and fugitives, and might be the more readily received by Achish, as he might hope for some advantage front them; and besides were pledges of their fidelity to him, and of their design to continue with him: [even] David with his two wives
, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife ; who had been the wife of Nabal; of these (see Gill on “ 1 Samuel 25:43”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Unbelief is a sin that easily besets even good men, when without ar fightings, and within are fears; and it is a hard matter to get ove them. Lord, increase our faith! We may blush to think that the word of a Philistine should go further than the word of an Israelite, and tha the city of Gath should be a place of refuge for a good man, when the cities of Israel refuse him a safe abode. David gained a comfortabl settlement, not only at a distance from Gath, but bordering upo Israel, where he might keep up a correspondence with his ow countrymen.
