42. Adina. The 16 names listed in 42-47 are not found elsewhere. These valiant men probably belonged to a later period of David’s reign than those listed in 2 Sam. 23.
1. They that came. The information in this chapter is not found elsewhere in Scripture. Verses 1-22 contain a register of warriors who went over to David while he was a fugitive from Saul; and 23-40 list the numbers from the various tribes who crowned David king at Hebron.
Ziklag. A city in southwestern Judah (see on 1 Sam. 27:6). At the time of Saul it was held by the Philistines. When David fled to the Philistines, Achish, the king of Gath, gave him Ziklag as a place of residence (1 Sam. 27:2-7).
