Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they two made a covenant before the Lord,.... Renewed the covenant they had before made in the name and fear of God, and before him as a witness of it. Kimchi and Abarbinel interpret this phrase,

before the Lord, of the covenant being made before Abiathar, with the Urim and Thummim in his hand; and so Jerom p, before Gad the prophet, and Abiathar who wore the ephod:

and David abode in the wood; being a proper place for him for secrecy and safety:

and Jonathan went to his house; in Gibeah; and these two dear and cordial friends never saw one another more, as is highly probable.

p Trad. Heb. in lib. Reg. fol. 76. K.
