This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Whither: etc. or, Did you not make a road

And David: 1Sa 21:2, Gen 27:19, Gen 27:20, Gen 27:24, Jos 2:4-6, 2Sa 17:20, Psa 119:29, Psa 119:163, Pro 29:25, Gal 2:11-13, Eph 4:25

Against: David here meant the Geshurites, and Gezrites, and Amalekites, which people occupied that part of the country which lies to the south of Judah. But Achish, as was intended, understood him in a different sense, and believed that he had attacked his own countrymen. David's answer, therefore, though not an absolute falsehood, was certainly an equivocation intended to deceive, and therefore incompatible with that sense of truth and honour which became him as a prince, and a professor of true religion. From these, and similar passages, we may observe the strict impartiality of the Sacred Scriptures. They present us with the most faithful delineation of human nature; they exhibit the frailties of kings, priests, and prophets, with equal truth; and examples of vice and frailty, as well as of piety and virtue, are held up, that we may guard against the errors to which the best men are exposed.

the Jerahmeelites: 1Ch 2:9, 1Ch 2:25

Kenites: 1Sa 15:6, Num 24:21, Jdg 1:16, Jdg 4:11, Jdg 5:24

Reciprocal: Gen 13:1 - the south Jdg 16:7 - If they bind 1Sa 27:1 - into the land 1Sa 28:2 - Surely 1Sa 30:29 - Jerahmeelites
