Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely,.... So that he could get no advantage against him, and he succeeded and was prosperous in all his enterprises, and was more and more in favour with the people:

he was afraid of him; lest the time was drawing near that the kingdom should be rent from him, and given to David.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 18:15. He was afraid of him. — He saw that, by his prudent conduct, he was every day gaining increasing influence.
