The companies that came to David at Ziklag23. The armies that came to him at Hebron When David went to Ziklag This phrase sets the historical context during the time when David was fleeing from King Saul. Ziklag was a Philistine town given to David by Achish, the king of Gath. The Hebrew root for "Ziklag" (צִקְלַג) suggests a place of winding or bending, symbolizing perhaps the twists and turns in David's journey. Ziklag became a refuge for David, a place where he gathered strength and support, reflecting God's provision even in exile. these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai chiefs of thousands in Manasseh Jozabad.--The repetition may be a scribe's error. (Comp. 1Chronicles 12:10; 1Chronicles 12:13, where we find the name Jeremiah given twice over.) Captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.--(Comp. Numbers 31:14; and 1Chronicles 13:1; 1Chronicles 15:25; 1Chronicles 26:26.) The term "thousand" interchanges with "father-house" (clan); and perhaps each clan originally furnished 1,000 warriors to the tribal host. . . . Verse 20. - Although those of Manasseh who wished to ally themselves with David did not - most providentially for David and his Ziklag people - have the opportunity of aiding him when, on the eve of Gilboa, he was about to aid Achish the prince of the Philistines against the Israelites and Saul, yet their help must have come in useful when, on his return "to Ziklag on the third day," he found what the Amalekites had done, and pursued them (1 Samuel 30:1-6, 11-25). Seven is the number also of Eastern Manasseh mentioned in 1 Chronicles 5:24. Nothing is now said of the men belonging to them joining with them. Jozabad. One manuscript quoted by Kennicott has for this name on its first occurrence Jechabar. It is scarcely likely that the same name should appear twice in this short list, without some qualifying mark being put to one of the two. Nothing else is known of these seven cap-talus of the thousands of Manasseh.Parallel Commentaries ...
