Contextual Overview

1 When Saul was come againe fro folowing after ye Philistines, there were which told him, saying: Behold, Dauid is in the wildernesse of Engadi. 2 Then Saul toke three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seke Dauid and his men in the heyght of the rockes where wilde goates remayne. 3 And he came to the sheepe coates by the way, where there was a caue, & Saul went in to do his easement: And Dauid and his men remayned in the inward partes of the caue. 4 And the men of Dauid sayd vnto him: See, the day is come, of which the Lord sayde vnto thee, Behold I will deliuer thyne enemie into thyne hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seeme good in thy sight. Then Dauid arose, and cut of the lappe of Sauls garment priuily. 5 And afterwarde Dauids heart smote him, because he had cut of the lap of Sauls garment. 6 And he sayd vnto his men: The Lorde kepe me from doyng that thing vnto my maister the lordes annoynted to lay myne hande vpon him, seing he is the annoynted of the Lorde. 7 And so Dauid kept of his seruauntes with these wordes, and suffred them not to rise against Saul: But Saul rose vp out of the caue, and went away. 8 Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying: My Lorde king. And when Saul loked behind him, Dauid stowped [with] his face to the earth, and bowed him selfe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines,.... Having, as it should seem, got the victory over them, and driven them out of his country, and pursued them to their own:

that it was told him, saying, behold, David [is] in the wilderness of Engedi; in the strong holds of it, the high rocks and mountains in it, 1 Samuel 23:29.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIV

Saul is informed that David is at En-gedi, and goes to seek him

with three thousand men, 1, 2.

He goes into a cave to repose, where David and his men lay hid;

who, observing this, exhort David to take away his life: David

refuses, and contents himself with privily cutting off Saul's

skirt, 3-7.

When Saul departed, not knowing what was done, David called

after him; showed him that his life had been in his power;

expostulates strongly with him; and appeals to God, the Judge

of his innocence, 8-15.

Saul confesses David's uprightness, acknowledges his obligation

to him for sparing his life; and causes him to swear that, when

he should come to the kingdom, he would not destroy his seed,

17-21.

Saul returns home, and David and his men stay in the hold, 22.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXIV

Verse 1 Samuel 24:1. Saul was returned — It is very probable that it was only a small marauding party that had made an excursion in the Israelitish borders, and this invasion was soon suppressed.
