Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And to them which were in Rachal,.... Another city of the tribe of Judah, but nowhere else spoken of: and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites: which lay to the south of Judah, 1Sa 27:10, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites; who dwelt in the wilderness of Judah, in the south of Arad, Jdg 1:16.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Them which were in Rachal - We know not where this place was; it is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible. Calmet conjectures that Hachilah, 1Sa 23:19, may be the same place; here we know David did conceal himself for some time, till the Ziphites endeavored to betray him to Saul. The cities of the Jerahmeelites - See before, 1Sa 27:10 (note). And - the cities of the Kenites - A very small tract on the southern coast of the Dead Sea.
