Las dos mujeres de David, Ahinoam jezreelita y Abigail la que fue mujer de Nabal del Carmelo, también eran cautivas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 5. And David’s two wives
were taken captives , etc.] Which is observed as one cause of his particular distress, and another follows in ( 1 Samuel 30:6): Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite : that is, who had been his wife; for he was now dead, ( 1 Samuel 25:39), and was so before she was married to David; both these came with him to Gath, and were left at Ziklag when he went with Achish, and here they were taken; (see 1 Samuel 25:42,43 27:3).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - When we go abroad in the way of our duty, we may comfortably hope tha God will take care of our families in our absence, but not otherwise If, when we come off a journey, we find our abode in peace, and no laid waste, as David here found his, let the Lord be praised for it David's men murmured against him. Great faith must expect such sever trials. But, observe, that David was brought thus low, only just befor he was raised to the throne. When things are at the worst with the church and people of God, then they begin to mend. David encourage himself in the Lord his God. His men fretted at their loss, the soul of the people was bitter; their own discontent and impatience added to the affliction and misery. But David bore it better, though he had mor reason than any of them to lament it. They gave liberty to their passions, but he set his graces to work; and while they dispirited eac other, he, by encouraging himself in God, kept his spirit calm. Thos who have taken the Lord for their God, may take encouragement from his in the worst times.
