David had an emphatic victory, wherein he recovered everything that was taken,1 thereby restoring the confidence of his men in his ability to lead and deliver them. His achievement is reminiscent of Abraham’s recovery of the people and goods of Sodom after his daring pursuit (see Genesis 14:15–16).2
18 David sauva tout ce que les Amalécites avaient pris, et il délivra aussi ses deux femmes.
