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.
