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
- Ziphites.
* Jos 15:24,55
- Doth not.
* :3; 23:19 Ps 54:1 *title
VERSE 2
- Saul arose.
* 1Sa 23:23-25; 24:17 Ps 38:12; 140:4-9

* :1; 23:19
VERSE 4

* 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 {magal} 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.

* 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.
VERSE 14
VERSE 15
- there came.
* :8
VERSE 16

* 1Sa 20:31 2Sa 12:5; 19:28 Ps 79:11; 102:20 *margins

VERSE 20
- let not my.
* 1Sa 2:9; 25:29
- the king.
* 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, {kira.} It seems to be so called from the cry or
{cur} which it utters when calling its young.

- I will no.
