1 Samuel 26:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

The history of David's persecution by Saul is again opened, and continued through this Chapter. The Ziphites inform Saul against David. Saul goes in quest of him. David is favoured with another opportunity of slaying Saul, but will not avail himself of it. A similar interview takes place to what happened before between David and Saul; after which they depart one from the other.

1 Samuel 26:1

(1) В¶ And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?

This is the second instance of the treachery of the Ziphites. (See 1 Samuel 23:19.) And what had David done to deserve it at their hands?
