1 Samuel 24:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 24:1

And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the
Philistines
Having, as it should seem, got the victory over them, and driven them out of his country, and pursued them to their own:

that it was told him, saying, behold, David [is] in the wilderness of
Engedi;
in the strong holds of it, the high rocks and mountains in it, ( 1 Samuel 23:29 ) .

1 Samuel 24:1 In-Context

1 After Saul returned from chasing the Philistines, he was told, "David is in the Desert of En Gedi."

2 So he took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and began looking for David and his men near the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

3 Saul came to the sheep pens beside the road. A cave was there, and he went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were hiding far back in the cave.

4 The men said to David, "Today is the day the Lord spoke of when he said, 'I will give your enemy over to you. Do anything you want with him.'" Then David crept up to Saul and quietly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

5 Later David felt guilty because he had cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
