1 Samuel 23:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 23:13

Then David and his men, [which were] about six hundred
Having had an increase of two hundred since he was at the cave of Adullam, ( 1 Samuel 22:1 1 Samuel 22:2 ) , and upon his relief of Keilah, ( 1 Samuel 23:5 ) ; so that he sustained no loss of men by fighting with the Philistines, but had an addition to his small forces:

arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go;
not knowing whither they should go, having no particular place in view; but went where they thought they could be safest, or that appeared the most proper place for them; so the Targum,

``they went to a place which was fit to go unto;''

which was fittest for their purpose, and most for their safety and security, be it where it would:

and it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah;
very likely some of the inhabitants informed him of it, since they were disposed to deliver David to him, had he stayed among them, and Saul had come down:

and he forbore to go forth:
from the place where he was, in order to come to Keilah,

1 Samuel 23:13 In-Context

11 Será que os cidadãos de Queila me entregarão a ele? Saul virá de fato, conforme teu servo ouviu? Ó SENHOR, Deus de Israel, responde-me”.E o SENHOR lhe disse: “Ele virá”.

12 E Davi, novamente, perguntou: “Será que os cidadãos de Queila entregarão a mim e a meus soldados a Saul?”E o SENHOR respondeu: “Entregarão”.

13 Então Davi e seus soldados, que eram cerca de seiscentos, partiram de Queila, e ficaram andando sem direção definida. Quando informaram a Saul que Davi tinha fugido de Queila, ele interrompeu a marcha.

14 Davi permaneceu nas fortalezas do deserto e nas colinas do deserto de Zife. Dia após dia Saul o procurava, mas Deus não entregou Davi em suas mãos.

15 Quando Davi estava em Horesa, no deserto de Zife, soube que Saul tinha saído para matá-lo.
