Contextual Overview
16Now it happened that when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Then Saul lifted up his voice and wept. 17And he said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have dealt well with me, while I have dealt evil with you. 18And you have declared today that you have done good to me, that Yahweh surrendered me into your hand, and yet you did not kill me. 19For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safely? May Yahweh therefore reward you with good in return for what you have done to me this day. 20So now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand. 21So now swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my seed after me and that you will not destroy my name from my father's household." 22So David swore to Saul. And Saul went to his home, but David and his men went up to the fortress.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king,.... Not merely by the common report, that he was anointed by Samuel, to which yet he might give credit; but by the providence of God prospering and preserving him, and by his princely spirit and behaviour, and by calling to mind what Samuel had said to him, that his kingdom should be given to a neighbour of his better than he, and so David was by his own confession, 1 Samuel 24:17; and the cutting off the skirt of his garment might put him in remembrance of the rending of the skirt of Samuel's mantle, upon which he told Saul his kingdom should be rent from him; though some think that was Saul's skirt, and so now he knew thereby, when David cut off his skirt, that the kingdom would be his; and it is a tradition of the Jews f, that Samuel said to him at that time, that he that cut off the skirt of his garment should reign after him:
and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand; and not be rent from him; and yet notwithstanding after this he sought to destroy him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 24:20. I know well that thou shalt surely be king — Hebrew, Reigning, thou shalt reign. He knew this before; and yet he continued to pursue him with the most deadly hatred.
