Over the herds that fed in Sharon A place famous for its fruitfulness, (see Isaiah 33:9; Isaiah 35:2,) which lay about Lidda and Joppa. David seems to have kept great store of cattle in his pastures, particularly in this place.

And over the asses, &c. This was a great part of men's riches in old times.
