The Key Word — אֲשֶׁר, ve.la.'a.Shergenerated
The word אֲשֶׁר (*asher*) is a conjunction that connects ideas, often indicating relationships between clauses or conditions. In this verse, it introduces the groups receiving gifts, emphasizing their importance in the narrative.
As a relative pronoun, it can mean 'who,' 'which,' or 'that,' serving to link various elements in the text. Its frequent use throughout the Hebrew Bible underscores its role in establishing connections between people and places.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations of this verse generally agree on the meaning, with terms like in Racal and in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites consistently used across versions.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is introduced by the conjunction וְלַאֲשֶׁ֣ר, and for those who, which leads into a series of prepositional phrases detailing the locations of the recipients. This structure emphasizes the various groups David was addressing.
Each prepositional phrase specifies the locations, creating a clear list format. The Hebrew word order places the conjunction at the forefront, highlighting the relationship between David's action and the recipients.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אֲשֶׁר as τοῖς, meaning 'to those'. This choice reflects a straightforward rendering that maintains the relational aspect of the original Hebrew.
The use of τοῖς in the Septuagint aligns with the Hebrew's function of connecting recipients to David's gifts, preserving the meaning while adapting to Greek syntax.

ra'-kal (rakhal, "trader"): A place in Judah, enumerated among "the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt," to the elders of which he sent a share of his spoils (1Sa 30:29). The Septuagint reading "Carmel" has been adopted, by many, because of the similarity of the words in Hebrew (rakal and karmel) and because there was a Carmel in the neighborhood of Hebron (Jos 15:55; 1Sa 15:12), which figures in the story of David's adventures when pursued by Saul (1Sa 25) in a manner that makes it improbable that he would overlook the place in his good fortune (the King James Version "Rachal").

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
