But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.

EXPLANATION

Verse 10. Weary. Hebrew pigru, denotes those who are “lazy and dead.” Septuagint “some sat down on the other side of the torrent.” Syr. and Arab. insinuate, to defend the passage. But why then do the rest complain? Calmet.—They acted irrationally, as David shewed afterwards. Some of the 600 might well be more exhausted than others, and these were selected to guard the baggage, verse 24. This was only the third day since they left Aphec, verse 1. Bible.
