This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
My son hath made a league with the son of Jesse: this he suspected, partly from Jonathan’s passionate love for David, which he had formerly and constantly declared; and from his late discontent and departure from his father, mentioned 1Sa_20:34; and partly from David’s confidence, in invading the land with four hundred men, which he thought he would never presume to do, without some encouragement or promise of assistance from Jonathan.
To lie in wait, i.e. to design against my crown and life (which will appear to be a most groundless suspicion and false accusation).
