Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

I am an Amalekite - Dr. Delaney remarks that an Amalekite took that crown from off the head of Saul, which he had forfeited by his disobedience in the case of Amalek.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And he said unto me, who art thou?.... Being willing to know whether a friend or an enemy, which by his coming behind him he could not tell:

and I answered him, I am an Amalekite: which he might be; but it is not likely he should tell Saul he was, which would not recommend him to him; though indeed he was now in such circumstances, that the Amalekites had nothing to fear from him; and if he was slain by him, as Josephus (f) affirms he was, it seems to be a just retaliation on him for sparing any of that race, contrary to the will of God.

(f) Antiqu. l. 6. c. 14. sect. 7.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:1-10 The blow which opened David's way to the throne was given about the time he had been sorely distressed. Those who commit their concerns to the Lord, will quietly abide his will. It shows that he desired not Saul's death, and he was not impatient to come to the throne.

1 Samuel 30:1 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,

1 Samuel 30:13 David asked him, "To whom do you belong, and where do you come from?" He said, "I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago.

2 Samuel 1:7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, 'What can I do?'

2 Samuel 1:9 "Then he said to me, 'Stand over me and kill me! I am in the throes of death, but I'm still alive.'

2 Samuel 1:13 David said to the young man who brought him the report, "Where are you from?" "I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite," he answered.
