1. 1 Samuel 27:10 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Where were the areas that David mentioned in his response to Achish?

1 Samuel 27:10 (ESV)

10 When Achish asked, “Where have you made a raid today?” David would say, “Against the Negeb of Judah,” or, “Against the Negeb of the Jerahmeelites,” or, “Against the Negeb of the Kenites.”

The Negeb of Judah, Jerahmeelites, and the Kenites refer to the area of land in the southern part of Judah. The Jerahmeelites were an independent tribe that was later incorporated into Judah (1 Chronicles 2:9, 1 Chronicles 2:25–27).1
