David's law to divide the spoil equally 26. He sends presents to his friends to those in Hormah Hormah was a city in the southern part of ancient Israel, within the territory allotted to the tribe of Simeon. The name "Hormah" means "destruction" or "devotion to destruction," which is significant in biblical history. It was originally called Zephath and was destroyed by the Israelites during their conquest of Canaan (Numbers 21:3). This city represents a place of victory and judgment, as it was devoted to destruction in fulfillment of God's command. The mention of Hormah in this context highlights the ongoing relationship between David and the people of Judah, as he shares the spoils of his victory with them, fostering unity and support.

Teaching Points Generosity in LeadershipDavid's distribution of the spoils demonstrates a leader's responsibility to care for and support his people. Leaders today can learn from David's example of generosity and fairness. Restoration and Reconciliation By sending gifts to the elders of Judah, David not only restores what was lost but also strengthens relationships. This teaches the importance of reconciliation and community building. God's Faithfulness in Victory The victory over the Amalekites and the subsequent sharing of spoils remind us of God's faithfulness in delivering His people and providing for their needs. Strategic Alliances David's actions in sending gifts to various cities can be seen as a strategic move to solidify alliances and support for his future kingship. This highlights the importance of building strong, supportive relationships in our own lives.

Reflecting on our own history can strengthen our faith and trust in God.(30) Hormah . . . Chor-ashan . . . Athach.--Hormah, called by the Canaanites Zephath, still exists in the modern village of Zep-ata. Chor-ashan is probably the same as Ashan (Joshua 15:30): it has not been discovered in modern times. Athach is quite unknown.Verse 30. - Hormah. Anciently called Zephath. For the reason of the change of name see Judges 1:17. Chor-ashan. More correctly Cor-ashan, the same place as Ashan (Joshua 15:42), a Simeonite town (1 Chronicles 4:32) assigned to the priests (Joshua 6:59).
