1 Sam 24:1–26:25 The three episodes in the next three chapters all have the same theme: David, who as a warrior has already killed many of the Lord’s enemies, should not kill for his own advantage. He should let the Lord act for him.
1 Sam 24:2 Three thousand chosen men is five times as many as David’s men (23:13). This suggests that Saul is very afraid of David.
1 Sam 24:6 David respects Saul as the Lord’s anointed because Saul is still on the royal throne as king over Israel, even though the Spirit of the Lord has already left him.
1 Sam 24:12–13 May the Lord judge. David is willing to let the Lord defend him against his enemies (compare Deut. 32:35). Out of the wicked comes wickedness. That is, if David were as wicked as Saul believed him to be, he would certainly have killed Saul.
1 Sam 24:20 I know that you shall surely be king. As with the reconciliation in 19:7, this one will be temporary.
1 Sam 24:22 but David and his men went up to the stronghold. Despite Saul’s acknowledgment of David’s right to the throne (v. 20), David does not trust him.
