1. 1 Samuel 30:21–22 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Who were the worthless fellows (NIV: "troublemakers")?

1 Samuel 30:21–22 (ESV)

21 Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them.

The worthless fellows were also found following the coronation of Saul (see 1 Samuel 10:27). They were sons of Belial (see 1 Samuel 2:12).1
