This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But when Saul had gone out of the cave, David went out, and called, “My lord king,” that when the king looked round he might expostulate with him, with the deepest reverence, but yet with earnest words, that should sharpen his conscience as to the unfounded nature of his suspicion and the injustice of his persecution. “Why dost thou hearken to words of men, who say, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? Behold, this day thine eyes have been that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave, and they said (אָמַר, thought) to kill thee, and I spared thee:” lit. it (mine eye) spared thee (cf. Gen 45:20; Deu 7:16, etc., which show that עֵינִי is to be supplied).
