Barnes' Notes
This, like the preceding paragraph II Samuel 21:1-14, is manifestly a detached and unconnected extract. It is probably taken from some history of David' s wars, apparently the same as furnished the materials for 2 Sam. 5; 8; 23:8-39. There is no direct clue to the time when the events here related took place, but it was probably quite in the early part of David' s reign, while he was still young and active, after the war described in 2 Sam. 5. The Book of Chronicles places these Philistine battles immediately after the taking of Rabbah of the Ammonites I Chronicles 20:4-8, but omits David' s adventure II Samuel 21:15-17.
