SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:22
Entonces David juró a Saśl. Y se fue Saśl a su casa, y David y los suyos se subieron a su fuerte.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 24:22
Verse 22. Saul went home] Confounded at a sense of his own baseness, and overwhelmed with a sense of David's generosity. David and his men gat them up unto the hold.] Went up to Mizpeh, according to the Syriac and Arabic. David could not trust Saul with his life; the utmost he could expect from him was that he should cease from persecuting him; but even this was too much to expect from a man of such a character as Saul. He was no longer under the Divine guidance; an evil spirit had full dominion over his soul. What God fills not, the devil will occupy.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And David sware unto Saul , etc.] That he would not cut, off his posterity; which oath he religiously observed, in sparing Mephibosheth, ( 2 Samuel 21:7), and in punishing the murderers of Ishbosheth, ( Samuel 4:12); and as for the seven sons of Saul, delivered up to the Gibeonites, ( 2 Samuel 21:6), it may be questioned whether they were his genuine legitimate offspring; and if they were, it was by the appointment and command of God, and according to his will and pleasure they were executed, who is not bound by the oaths of men, and to whom they must be submitted, ( 2 Samuel 21:1,14); and Saul went home ; to his palace in Gibeah: but David and his men got them up unto the hold ; in Engedi, ( 1 Samuel 23:29); not trusting to Saul, whose inconstancy, perfidy, cruel hatred, and malice, David full well knew; and therefore thought it not safe to return to his own house, nor to dwell in the open country, but in the wilderness, and among the rocks, and in the caves there, such as were in the wilderness of Engedi; and here, and at this time, he penned the fifty seventh psalm, (see Psalm 57:1-11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-22 - Saul speaks as quite overcome with David's kindness. Many mourn for their sins, who do not truly repent of them; weep bitterly for them yet continue in love and in league with them. Now God made good to David that word on which he had caused him to hope, that he would brin forth his righteousness as the light, Ps 37:6. Those who take care to keep a good conscience, may leave it to God to secure them the credi of it. Sooner or later, God will force even those who are of the synagogue of Satan to know and to own those whom he has loved. The parted in peace. Saul went home convinced, but not converted; ashame of his envy to David, yet retaining in his breast that root of bitterness; vexed that when at last he had found David, he could no find in his heart to destroy him, as he had designed. Malice ofte seems dead when it is only asleep, and will revive with double force Yet, whether the Lord bind men's hands, or affect their hearts, so tha they do not hurt us, the deliverance is equally from him; it is a evidence of his love, and an earnest of our salvation, and should make us thankful __________________________________________________________________
