Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 23:2
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
2-5. David inquired of the Lord —most probably through Gad ( 2 Samuel 24:11 ; 1 Chronicles 21:9 ), who was present in David's camp ( 1 Samuel 22:5 ), probably by the recommendation of Samuel. To repel unprovoked assaults on unoffending people who were engaged in their harvest operations, was a humane and benevolent service. But it was doubtful how far it was David's duty to go against a public enemy without the royal commission; and on that account he asked, and obtained, the divine counsel. A demur on the part of his men led David to renew the consultation for their satisfaction; after which, being fully assured of his duty, he encountered the aggressors and, by a signal victory, delivered the people of Keilah from further molestation. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
