Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David said unto him, from whence comest thou?.... It is very likely by his appearance and circumstances he suspected from whence he came:
and he said unto him, out of the camp of Israel am I escaped; which plainly suggested that that was in danger, confusion, and distress.
