      1;  The companies that came to David at Ziklag.

     * these are.

     * while he yet, etc.  Heb. being yet shut up.
       Sometimes, in the East, when a successful prince endeavoured
       to extirpate the preceding royal family, some of them escaped
       the slaughter, and secured themselves in an impregnable
       fortress, or in a place of great secrecy; while others have
       been known to seek an asylum in a foreign county, from when
       they have occasioned, from time to time, great anxiety and
       great difficulties to the usurper of the crown.  The
       expression shut up, so often applied to the extermination of
       eastern royal families.  (De 32:32.  1; Ki 14:10; 21:21.  2; Ki
       9:8; 14:26,) strictly speaking, refers to the two first of
       these cases; but the term may be used in a more extensive
       sense, for those who, by retiring into deserts, or foreign
       countries, preserve themselves from being slain by the men who
       usurp the dominions of their ancestors.  Thus the term is here
       applied to David, though he did not shut himself up, strictly
       speaking, in Ziklag.  It is described as a town in the
       country, and was probably an unwalled town; and it is certain
       that he did not confine himself to it, but, on the contrary,
       was continually making excursions from thence.
