Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 27:1

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1. David said in his heart, . . . there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines —This resolution of David's was, in every respect, wrong: (1) It was removing him from the place where the divine oracle intimated him to remain ( :- ); (2) It was rushing into the idolatrous land, for driving him into which he had denounced an imprecation on his enemies ( :- ); (3) It was a withdrawal of his counsel and aid from God's people. It was a movement, however, overruled by Providence to detach him from his country and to let the disasters impending over Saul and his followers be brought on by the Philistines. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
