PREVIOUS CHAPTER - NEXT CHAPTER - HELP




  1  David marching with the Philistines,
 3  is disallowed by their princes.
 6  Achish dismisses him, with commendations of his fidelity.

VERSE 1
- the Philistines.
   * 1Sa 28:1,2
- Aphek.
   * 1Sa 4:1 Jos 19:30 1Ki 20:30
- Jezreel.
   * 1Sa 28:4 Jos 19:18 Jud 6:33 1Ki 18:45,46; 21:1,23 2Ki 9:36
   * Ho 1:4-11

VERSE 2 
 - the lords.
   * :6,7; 5:8-11; 6:4 Jos 13:3
- but David.
   * 1Sa 28:1,2

VERSE 3 
 - Is not this David.
  These words seem to mark no definite time; and may be
  understood thus:  "Is not this David, the servant of Saul the
  king of Israel, who has been with me for a considerable time?"

- these days.
   * 1Sa 27:7
- found.
   * 1Sa 25:28 Da 6:5 Joh 19:6 Ro 12:17 1Pe 3:16

VERSE 4 
 - Make this fellow.
  The princes reasoned wisely, according to the common practice
  of mankind; and it was well for David that they were such good
  politicians:  it was ordered by a gracious Providence that
  they refused to let David go with them to this battle, in
  which he must have been either an enemy to his country, or
  false to his friends and to his trust.  Had he fought for the
  Philistines, he would have fought against God and his country;
  and had he in the battle gone over to the Israelites, he would
  have deceived and become a traitor to the hospitable Achish.
  God therefore delivered him from such disgrace; and by the
  same kind Providence he was sent back to rescue his wives, and
  the wives and children of his people, from captivity.

   * :1 Jos 19:18 2Sa 4:4
- Jezreel.
  Jezreel, or Esdraelon, was a city of Issachar, afterwards
  celebrated as the residence of the kings of Israel,
  delightfully situated in the extensive and fertile plain of
  the same name, which extends from Scythopolis or Bethshan on
  the east to mount Carmel on the west.  Eusebius and Jerome
  inform us, that it was in their time a place of considerable
  consequence, lying between Scythopolis on the east and Legio
  on the west; and the latter (on Ho 1.) informs us that it was
  pretty near Maximianopolis.  The Jerusalem Itinerary places it
  ten miles west from Scythopolis; and William of Tyre says it
  was called Little Gerinum in his time, and that there was a
  fine fountain in it, whose waters fell into the Jordan near
  Scythopolis.  See ver. 1.
