1 Samuel 26:19

Let him accept an offering] cp. Genesis 4:7. The idea in this v. is simply that if Jehovah had prompted Saul's action, Saul was doing right, and David would seek pardon by an offering. Go, serve other gods] This seems to suggest that David limited the rule of Jehovah to the land of Israel as the rule of Chemosh was limited to Moab: cp. Jephthah's reference to Chemosh in Judges 11:24. In the older Hebrew thought, Jehovah was specially present in Palestine (though cp. Judges 5:4). Hence it seemed difficult and almost impossible to worship the true God in a heathen land, since when a Hebrew became naturalised elsewhere, he would conform to the religion of his new home.
