Shmuel Bais 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:7

And when he looked behind him
To see how near the enemy was, and who were pursuing him:

he saw me, and called unto me;
by which it should rather seem that he belonged to the Philistines than to the Israelites, and as his being an Amalekite shows; for such an one would hardly be admitted among the latter, though it is most likely he was with neither, but happened to come that way just at that time:

and I answered, here [am] I;
ready to hear what thou hast to say, and do thy pleasure.

7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Hineini.

8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amaleki.
