And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.
Ver. 20. And David took all the flocks,] i.e., All the rest of the flocks and herds which the enemy had pillaged from other places.
And said, This is David's spoil.] The soldiers said so, and as some think, sung so, this being the burden of their triumphant song. This was better, I trow, than to speak of stoning him: to make him amends for which, some say they gave him all this booty.
