1 Samuel 27:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 27:4

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath
Who very probably had his spies out to watch his motions, and report to him where he was, and what he was doing:

and he sought no more again for him;
by which it seems as if he would have sought after him again, had he continued in the land of Israel; but now being gone, and in an enemy's country, and having nothing to fear from him while there, he laid aside all thoughts of seeking after him.

1 Samuel 27:4 In-Context

2 David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Akhish the son of Ma`okh, king of Gat.

3 David lived with Akhish at Gat, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Achino'am the Yizre`elite, and Avigayil the Karmelite, Naval's wife.

4 It was told Sha'ul that David was fled to Gat: and he sought no more again for him.

5 David said to Akhish, If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?

6 Then Akhish gave him Tziklag that day: why Tziklag pertains to the kings of Yehudah to this day.
