1 Samuel 24:22 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Saul does not appear to have invited David to return to Gibeah, or to have given him any security of doing so with safety. David, with his intuitive sagacity, perceived that the softening of Saul’s feelings was only momentary, and that the situation remained unchanged.

1 Samuel 24:22

22 And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
