1 Samuel 23:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 23:27

But there came a messenger unto Saul
From his court, by order of his council there; though the Jews F20 say it was an angel from heaven; but be it which it will, it was certainly the providence of God that directed this affair, that a messenger should come to Saul just at that very time that David was like to fall into his hands:

saying, haste thee, and come, for the Philistines have invaded the
land;
were come into it, and spread themselves in it, as the word signifies, which expresses their numbers they had poured in, the force they came with, and the possessions they had already got; perhaps they had taken the advantage of Saul's departure in quest of David, to penetrate into the tribe of Benjamin, where his patrimony, residence, and court were, and which were liable to fall into their hands; and therefore his presence was immediately required, and haste was necessary.

1 Samuel 23:27 In-Context

25 Sa煤l fue con sus hombres a buscarlo, pero le avisaron a David, y 茅ste baj贸 a la pe帽a y permaneci贸 en el desierto de Ma贸n. Cuando Sa煤l lo supo, persigui贸 a David en el desierto de Ma贸n.
26 Sa煤l iba por un lado del monte y David y sus hombres por el otro lado del monte; y David se apresuraba para huir de Sa煤l, pues Sa煤l y sus hombres estaban rodeando a David y a sus hombres para apresarlos.
27 Pero un mensajero vino a Sa煤l diciendo: Apres煤rate y ven, pues los filisteos han hecho una incursi贸n en la tierra.
28 Regres贸 entonces Sa煤l, dejando de perseguir a David, y fue al encuentro de los filisteos; por eso llamaron a aquel lugar la Pe帽a de Escape .
29 Y subi贸 David de all铆, y permaneci贸 en los refugios de En-gadi.
