 {v.21-22} There is the same hardening on part of the king, who uses the Lord’s name to cover his own iniquity. “Blessed be ye of Jehovah; for ye have compassion upon me!” (1 Sam. 23:21). And speaking of David he says: “It is told me that he deals very subtly” (1 Sam. 23:22). Subtly! when the Lord whom he consulted was warning him against his enemy’s ambushes! (1 Samuel 23 by H.L. Rossier)
