1 Samuel 29:10,11 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

With thy master's servants This intimates that the lords of the Philistines would not trust them, because they looked on them still as Saul's subjects. David and his men rose up early David did not then know how necessary this was for the relief of his own city. But God knew it well, and sent him thither accordingly. On how many occasions may we say, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter!

1 Samuel 29:10-11

10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

11 So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
