Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines,.... Having, as it should seem, got the victory over them, and driven them out of his country, and pursued them to their own:
that it was told him, saying, behold, David [is] in the wilderness of Engedi; in the strong holds of it, the high rocks and mountains in it, 1 Samuel 23:29.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXIV
Saul is informed that David is at En-gedi, and goes to seek him
with three thousand men, 1, 2.
He goes into a cave to repose, where David and his men lay hid;
who, observing this, exhort David to take away his life: David
refuses, and contents himself with privily cutting off Saul's
skirt, 3-7.
When Saul departed, not knowing what was done, David called
after him; showed him that his life had been in his power;
expostulates strongly with him; and appeals to God, the Judge
of his innocence, 8-15.
Saul confesses David's uprightness, acknowledges his obligation
to him for sparing his life; and causes him to swear that, when
he should come to the kingdom, he would not destroy his seed,
17-21.
Saul returns home, and David and his men stay in the hold, 22.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXIV
Verse 1 Samuel 24:1. Saul was returned — It is very probable that it was only a small marauding party that had made an excursion in the Israelitish borders, and this invasion was soon suppressed.
