Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah,.... While Saul was prophesying, or lay in a trance there:
and came; to Gibeah, where Saul dwelt, and had his palace, and kept his court:
and said before Jonathan; whom he found there, and for whose sake he thither fled to have his advice, and to use his interest with his father, and be his friend at court:
what have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what [is] my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? surely, as if he should say, I must have been guilty of some very great crime, and yet I am not sensible of it; canst thou tell me what it is that has so provoked thy father, that nothing will satisfy him but the taking away of my life, which he seeks to do?
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
While Saul was under the constraining influence of the spirit of prophecy, David escaped from Naioth, and, probably by Samuel’s advice, returned to Saul’s court to commune with Jonathan. Nothing could be a better evidence of his innocence than thus putting himself in Jonathan’s power. Perhaps something passed between Samuel and Saul on the subject, since it appears from 1Sa 20:5, 1 Samuel 20:25, 1 Samuel 20:27, that Saul expected David at the feast of the new moon.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XX
David complains to Jonathan of Saul's enmity against him;
Jonathan comforts him, 1-10.
They walk out into the field, and renew their covenant, 11-17.
David asks Jonathan's leave to absent himself from Saul's
court; and Jonathan informs him how he shall ascertain the
disposition of his father towards him, 18-23.
David hides himself; is missed by Saul; Jonathan is questioned
concerning his absence; makes an excuse for David; Saul is
enraged, and endeavours to kill Jonathan, 24-33.
Jonathan goes out to the field; gives David the sign which they
had agreed on, and by which he was to know that the king had
determined to take away his life, 34-39.
He sends his servant back into the city; and then he and David
meet, renew their covenant, and have a very affectionate
parting, 40-42.
NOTES ON CHAP. XX
Verse 1 Samuel 20:1. David fled frown Naioth — On hearing that Saul had come to that place, knowing that he was no longer in safety, he fled for his life.
