1Sa 27:1-4.
SAUL HEARING THAT DAVID WAS FLED TO GATH, SEEKS NO MORE FOR HIM.
1. David said in his heart, . . . there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines--This resolution of David's was, in every respect, wrong: (1) It was removing him from the place where the divine oracle intimated him to remain
(1Sa 22:5);
(2) It was rushing into the idolatrous land, for driving him into which he had denounced an imprecation on his enemies
(1Sa 26:19);
(3) It was a withdrawal of his counsel and aid from God's people. It was a movement, however, overruled by Providence to detach him from his country and to let the disasters impending over Saul and his followers be brought on by the Philistines.
