Context — David and the Philistines

4And when Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him. 5Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be assigned a place in one of the outlying towns, so I can live there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”

6That day Achish gave him Ziklag, and to this day it still belongs to the kings of Judah.

7And the time that David lived in Philistine territory amounted to a year and four months. 8Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these people had inhabited the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)

1 Samuel 27:6 Summary

This verse tells us that Achish, the king of Gath, gave David the town of Ziklag, and it still belonged to the kings of Judah at the time this was written. This shows how God works out His plans, even in unexpected ways, as seen in Romans 8:28. It also reminds us that God is faithful to His promises, just like He was to David and the Israelites, as promised in Deuteronomy 7:9. By trusting in God's sovereignty, we can find peace and purpose, even in difficult circumstances, as David did in 1 Samuel 27:6.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Achish give Ziklag to David?

Achish gave Ziklag to David because David had found favor in his eyes, as seen in 1 Samuel 27:6, and it was a strategic move to have a loyal ally in the outlying towns, similar to how the Lord gave the Israelites the land of Canaan in Joshua 1:3.

What is the significance of Ziklag belonging to the kings of Judah?

The fact that Ziklag still belonged to the kings of Judah to this day, as stated in 1 Samuel 27:6, highlights God's faithfulness to His people and His promises, such as those found in Deuteronomy 1:8 and Ezekiel 37:21-22.

Is this event a fulfillment of any prophecy or promise?

While there isn't a direct prophecy about Ziklag, it demonstrates how God works out His plans for His people, as seen in Genesis 12:7 and other promises to the patriarchs, which ultimately point to the Messiah and the kingdom of God, as described in Revelation 20:4-6.

How does this event fit into the larger story of David's life?

This event shows David's continued trust in God's sovereignty, despite being in a foreign land, and it sets the stage for his future victories and reign as king, as prophesied in 1 Samuel 16:13 and fulfilled in 2 Samuel 2:4.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I can trust God's sovereignty in my own life, even when circumstances seem uncertain?
How can I, like David, find contentment and purpose in the midst of challenging situations, as encouraged in Philippians 4:11-13?
What are some promises or prophecies in Scripture that I can cling to, knowing that God is faithful to His word, such as Hebrews 10:23?
In what ways can I, as a believer, be a light for God's kingdom in a world that often seems dark or opposed to Him, as described in Matthew 5:14-16?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 27:6

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 27:6

Gave him Ziklag; not only to inhabit, but to possess it as his own; which he did, to lay the greater obligations upon David, whom he knew so able to serve him. Pertaineth unto the kings of Judah: it was given to the tribe of Judah before, , and afterwards to the tribe of Simeon, , whose inheritance was given them within the inheritance of the children of Judah, Joshua 19. 1. But the Philistines kept the possession of it till this time, and were hitherto permitted to do so. And being now given by them to David, it now belonged not to the people of the tribe of Judah, to whom it was allotted before; but to the king of Judah, David and his heirs for ever. Unto this day: this and some such clauses seem to have been added by some sacred writers after the main substance of the several books was written.

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 27:6

1 Samuel 27:6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.Ver. 6. Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day.] Hungry Ziklag - augustia sextarii, so it signifieth, saith Pagnine - where David and his men were hard put to it for a poor subsistence; but it was fittest for his purpose, being an outter town, that he might forrage, and fetch in spoil undiscovered. And besides, it became a rendezvous for his friends out of Judea to resort unto him, as they did for his better advancement to the kingdom. But it was impoliticly done of Achish to assign him to such a city as belonged to Judea, and bordered thereon.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 27:6

(6) Ziklag.—In the days of Joshua this place fell to the lot of Simeon (Joshua 19:5). It was afterwards captured by the Philistines, not long before the time of David, and Keil thinks was left without inhabitants in consequence of this conquest. Its exact situation has never been clearly ascertained; it certainly lay far south, near the Amalekite borders. Wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.—These words supply us with a double note of time in the question of the date of this First Book of Samuel. They tell us that it was cast in its present shape after the revolt of Jeroboam, and certainly before the days of the carrying away of Israel to Babylon.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 27:6

Verse 6. Achish gave him Ziklag] Ziklag was at first given to the tribe of Judah, but afterwards it was ceded to that of Simeon, Joshua 15:31; Joshua 19:5. The Philistines had, however, made themselves masters of it, and held it to the time here mentioned; it then fell into the tribe of Judah again, and continued to be the property of the kings of Judah. This verse is a proof that this book was written long after the days of Samuel, and that it was formed by a later hand, out of materials which had been collected by a contemporary author. See the preface.

Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 27:6

6. Ziklag] One of the cities In the Negeb or “South Country,” originally assigned to Judah (Joshua 15:31), but transferred to Simeon (Joshua 19:5), and either never occupied by them or reconquered by the Philistines. Its site has not been identified, but was probably somewhere W. or N. W. of Beersheba, next to which it is mentioned in Nehemiah 11:28. Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day] This note from the hand of the compiler indicates that the book was composed after the separation of the kingdom of Judah from the kingdom of Israel, and before the Captivity. Ziklag was, so to speak, one of the crown estates of the royal house.

Barnes' Notes on 1 Samuel 27:6

Ziklag - This was properly one of the cities of Simeon within the tribe of Judah (marginal references), but it had been taken possession of by the Philistines. The exact situation of it is uncertain.

Whedon's Commentary on 1 Samuel 27:6

6. Gave him Ziklag — This town was situated in the extreme south of Palestine, (Joshua 15:31; Joshua 19:5.) but its exact location is unknown.
