This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_26:19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Ver. 19. Let him accept an offering.] Heb., Let him smell, viz., the savour of a sacrifice, and be reconciled through the passion of Christ, whereof those sacrifices were sacraments. And hereunto David doubted not but God would condescend, for he is gracious, and doth abundantly pardon. {Isa_55:7}
From abiding in the inheritance of the Lord.] This troubled David more than the loss of all other comforts and accommodations.
Saying, Go, serve other gods.] This they said not verbally, but interpretatively, and upon the matter, when they compelled him to sojourn in Mesech and Kedar.
