Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Saul arose,.... Immediately, glad of an opportunity to seize on David, having the same disposition towards him as ever; and perhaps had repented he had not laid hold on him when he followed him out of the cave:
and went down to the wilderness of Ziph: or towards it:
having three thousand chosen men of Israel; young men, so called, because usually chosen for business, and for war particularly, rather than old men; the same number he took with him when he sought him at Engedi, 1 Samuel 24:2;
to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph; where or whereabouts he was informed by the Ziphites he was.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 26:2. Three thousand chosen men — Though they knew that David was but six hundred strong, yet Saul thought it was not safe to pursue such an able general with a less force than that mentioned in the text; and, that he might the better depend on them, they were all elect or picked men out of the whole of his army.
