V.1-4 It seems hard to believe that Saul never gives up his hunting of David.
V.5-10 All the soldiers, who ought to have been guarding him, are asleep. Abishai wants to take that spear, and kill Saul right on the spot, but David will not allow him to do this, for he knows that Saul is still God’s anointed king, and he will not injure him.
V.11-16 David acts in patience, forgiveness, and trust.
V.21-25 Saul’s heart toward David is unchanged, though these words sounded so sweet. Particularly the last verse. David seems to sense this, as the first verse of the next chapter indicates.
