1 Samuel 24:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

The history of Saul's pursuit of David, is continued in the opening of this chapter. But, in this pursuit, the Lord brought Saul into David's hand: his followers advise David to avail himself of the advantage; but David refuses. He takes occasion, however, to remonstrate with Saul, by bidding him take notice what he might have done, and how he forbore. Saul seems pricked to the heart, in the relation: confesses his sin to David, and obtains from David, a promise of kindness to his house. They part.

1 Samuel 24:1

1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from followinga the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
