1 Samuel 27:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Achish believed David; partly, because of his confidence in David's authority and fidelity; partly, because most men easily believe what they heartily wish to be true; and partly, from God's providence, which blinded him in this and in divers other particulars relating to David's coming hither, and abiding here.

1 Samuel 27:12

12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterlye to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
