1 Samuel 23:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

This is an interesting Chapter, and it contains some sweet practical instructions to the exercised believer, in his views of what is here recorded in the life of David. Saul is still pursuing him for slaughter; the Lord works deliverance by David for the men of Keilah; notwithstanding which the men of Keilah intended to deliver David into Saul's hand. David retreats to the wilderness of Ziph, and there has an interview with Jonathan; but upon the Ziphites treachery, in inviting Saul to come and take him, David escapes from thence, and retreats to the strong holds of En-gedi.

1 Samuel 23:1

1 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
