This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_24:13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
Ver. 13. Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked.] They are carried away even as they are led, {1Co_12:2} they act as they are acted and agitated by the devil {Eph_2:2} and their lusts. {Tit_3:3} If a graceless man "find his enemy, will he let him go well away?" {1Sa_24:19} But my hand shall not be upon thee, far I am an honest man; and as thou never hast, so thou never shalt find me otherwise. He that is once wicked, is presumed to be so always, as occasion serveth him. But "the counsel of the wicked is far from me," {Job_21:16} therefore thou needest not fear any hurt from me. I abhor the motion.
