TSK - 1 SAMUEL 26

  1  Saul, by the discovery of the Ziphites, comes to Hachilah
    against David.
 4  David coming into the trench stays Abishai from killing
    Saul, but takes his spear and cruse.
13  David reproves Abner;
17  and exhorts Saul.
21  Saul acknowledges his sin.


VERSE 1

   * 1Sa 9:1; 14:50,51; 17:55 2Sa 2:8-12; 3:7,8,27,33-38 1Ch 9:39
- trench.  or, midst of his carriages.
   * 1Sa 17:20
  The word {ma�gal} never signifies a ditch or rampart, but a
  chariot or waggon way.  Nor does it seem to denote a ring of
  carriages, as Buxtorf and others interpret the word; for it is
  not probable that Saul would encumber his army with baggage in
  so rapid a pursuit, nor that so mountainous a country was
  practicable for waggons.  It appears simply to mean here, the
  circular encampment (from {agal,} "round") which these troops
  formed, in the midst of which, as being the place of honor,
  Saul reposed.  An Arab camp, D'Arvieux informs us, is always
  circular, when the disposition of the ground will permit, the
  prince being in the middle, and the troops at a respectful
  distance around him.  Add to which, their lances are fixed
  near them in the ground all the day long, ready for action.

 - the top.
   * 1Sa 24:8 Jud 9:7
  David, by retiring to a place of safety before he called to
  Abner, seems to have manifested more distrust of Saul than he
  had done on a former occasion.  Yet he desired that Saul and
  all Israel should be informed of his conduct at this time.
  Abner and his soldiers, by neglecting to guard Saul when he
  slept, had exposed his life, and merited to be treated as his
  enemies, though he confided in them as friends; for, although
  their sound sleep was undoubtedly supernatural, yet there
  might be a neglect of placing sentinels, arising from contempt
  of David's small company.  Saul also deemed David his enemy,
  though he had before spared and protected his life.

   * 1Sa 24:14 Mt 26:47,55
- a flea.
  {Parosh,} (in Arabic {borghooth,} Syriac, {poorthano,}) the
  well known little contemptible and troublesome insect, the
  flea, seems to be so called from its agility in leaping and
  skipping, from {para,} "free," and {raash,} "to leap, bound."
  David, by comparing himself to this insect, seems to import,
  that while it would cost Saul much pains to catch him, he
  would obtain but very little advantage from it.

- a partridge.
  {Korai} certainly denotes the partridge, which is called in
  Arabic, {kir�a.}  It seems to be so called from the cry or
  {cur} which it utters when calling its young.
