Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah,.... Of Benjamin, called sometimes Gibeah of Saul, because it was the place of his birth and residence; hither Saul had returned after his last interview with David; whether, notwithstanding what had passed between him and David, he had privately encouraged the Ziphites to watch David, and give him information of him where he was, and when it was a proper opportunity to seize him; or whether the Ziphites were so officious as of themselves to acquaint him with it, is not certain; the latter is probable, since having attempted to betray David, they might fear, that should he come to the throne, he would remember it, and therefore they might be desirous of having him cut off by the hand of Saul:

saying, doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon? the same place where he was when the Ziphites before gave information of him, 1 Samuel 23:10; here he might choose to be, supposing that the Ziphites now would not meditate anything against him, since Saul had declared he would be king after him, and had made him swear that he would not cut off his posterity; and as he thought it his wisdom to provide against the worst, knowing the inconstancy of Saul, he might judge this the most proper place of safety, and from whence he could, on occasion, easily retreat into the wilderness; and it may be also, because it was near to Abigail's estate and possessions, which were now a good resource for him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The incident related in this chapter of the meeting between Saul and David bears a strong general resemblance to that recorded in 1 Samuel 24:0, and is of a nature unlikely to have occurred more than once. Existing discrepancies are explained by the supposition that one narrative relates fully some incidents on which the other is silent. On the whole the most probable conclusion is that the two narratives relate to one and the same event. (Compare the two narratives of the Creation, Genesis 1:0; Genesis 2:4 ff; the two narratives of David’s war, 2 Samuel 8:0; and 2 Samuel 10:0; and those of the death of Ahaziah, 2 Kings 9:27 ff; and 2 Chronicles 22:9.)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXVI

The Ziphites inform Saul of David's hiding place, 1.

Saul, with three thousand men, goes in pursuit of him, 2, 3.

David sends out spies; and finds where Saul had pitched his

camp; and he and Abishai come to the camp by night, find all

asleep, and bring away Saul's spear, and the cruse of water

that was at his head, 4-12.

David goes to the opposite hill; awakes Abner, captain of Saul's

host; chides him for being so careless of his master's life;

and calls on Saul to send one of his servants for the spear;

and severely chides him for his continued hostility to him,

13-24.

Saul humbles himself to David; promises to persecute him no

more; and returns to his own place, 25.
