*Minor differences ignored. Grouped by changes, with first version listed as example.
Them which were in Rachal - We know not where this place was; it is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible. Calmet conjectures that Hachilah, 1-Samuel 23:19, may be the same place; here we know David did conceal himself for some time, till the Ziphites endeavored to betray him to Saul.
The cities of the Jerahmeelites - See before, 1-Samuel 27:10 (note).
And - the cities of the Kenites - A very small tract on the southern coast of the Dead Sea.
And to them which were in Rachal,.... Another city of the tribe of Judah, but nowhere else spoken of:
and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites: which lay to the south of Judah, 1-Samuel 27:10,
and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites; who dwelt in the wilderness of Judah, in the south of Arad, Judges 1:16.
