AND SAUL KNEW DAVID’S VOICE. — The account is most natural
throughout. 1 Samuel 26:7 speaks of the enterprise being undertaken

Once again we have the account of how David spared the life of Saul.
There is no reason at all for the view that this is a repetition of
the previous story. A quiet comparison of the two will show man...

We enter now on a portion of David's history sensibly different from
what we have already had, which closed with the efforts of Jonathan to
restore matters and to attach Saul to him at least openly. J...

Alas! Saul is unchanged; instigated by the Ziphites, he seeks David
anew, but it is only to fall again, and more publicly, into David's
hands. Observe that David now appeals more directly to the Lord...

It seems tragically foolish on Saul's part that he should respond as
he did to another message from the Ziphites to the effect that David
was hiding in the hill country of Hachilah (v.1). He had told...
