Shmuel Alef 27:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 27:4

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath
Who very probably had his spies out to watch his motions, and report to him where he was, and what he was doing:

and he sought no more again for him;
by which it seems as if he would have sought after him again, had he continued in the land of Israel; but now being gone, and in an enemy's country, and having nothing to fear from him while there, he laid aside all thoughts of seeking after him.

Shmuel Alef 27:4 In-Context

2 And Dovid arose, and he passed over with the shesh me’ot ish that were with him unto Achish Ben Maoch Melech Gat.

3 And Dovid dwelt with Achish at Gat, he and his anashim, every ish with his bais (household), even Dovid with his two nashim, Achinoam of Yizre’el, and Avigal eshet Naval of Carmel.

4 And it was told Sha’ul that Dovid was fled to Gat; and he sought no more again for him.

5 And Dovid said unto Achish, If I have now found chen in thine eyes, let them give me a makom (place) in some town in the sadeh (country), that I may dwell there; for why should thy eved dwell in the ir hamamlachah (royal city) with thee?

6 Then Achish gave him Tziklag that day; therefore Tziklag belongs unto the Melachim of Yehudah unto this day.
