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.

2, 3. 瑪俄的兒子亞吉——迦特王——這位王家族的通俗描述，產生一種推測：他不同於大衛第一次訪問迦特時在位的君王。大衛是從他那裏得到特別邀請，還是僅僅得到進入他領土的許可，無法確定。大概是前者。掃羅與大衛之間如今已勢不兩立的紛爭，既已家喻戶曉，亞吉或許認為款待他作客是好的策略，藉此為非利士人當時正籌劃的對以色列的敵對行動鋪路。
英語原文
2, 3. Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath--The popular description of this king's family creates a presumption that he was a different king from the reigning sovereign on David's first visit to Gath. Whether David had received a special invitation from him or a mere permission to enter his territories, cannot be determined. It is probable that the former was the case. From the universal notoriety given to the feud between Saul and David, which had now become irreconcilable, it might appear to Achish good policy to harbor him as a guest, and so the better pave the way for the hostile measures against Israel which the Philistines were at this time meditating.

1Sa 27:5-12.
大衛向亞吉求洗革拉。
5. 求你將鄉間某城中的一個地方賜給我——這是大衛方面謹慎的安排；因為這可以避免他成為非利士人嫉妒猜疑或陰謀詭計的對象。這會使他的隨從更遠離宮廷與首都偶像崇拜的污染危險；並且這會給他機會對出沒於以色列與非利士人共同邊界的搶劫部族作出報復性的出擊。
英語原文
1Sa 27:5-12.
DAVID BEGS ZIKLAG OF ACHISH.
5. let them give me a place in some town in the country--It was a prudent arrangement on the part of David; for it would prevent him being an object of jealous suspicion, or of mischievous plots among the Philistines. It would place his followers more beyond the risk of contamination by the idolatries of the court and capital; and it would give him an opportunity of making reprisals on the freebooting tribes that infested the common border of Israel and the Philistines.

6. 洗革拉——這城雖然原本分給了猶大
(Jos 15:31)，
後來又分給了西緬
(Jos 19:5)，
卻從未被以色列人佔領。它屬於非利士人，非利士人將它賜給了大衛。
英語原文
6. Ziklag--Though originally assigned to Judah
(Jos 15:31),
and subsequently to Simeon
(Jos 19:5),
this town had never been possessed by the Israelites. It belonged to the Philistines, who gave it to David.

8. 大衛……上去侵奪基述人——（見
Jos 13:2)。
基色人——或作基利洗人 [GESENIUS]，
(Jos 12:12)，
是曾經在那裡安營的某個阿拉伯部族。
亞瑪力人——他們所佔地區的一部分位於以色列地的南方
(Jud 5:14; 12:15)。
英語原文
8. David . . . went up, and invaded the Geshurites--(See
Jos 13:2).
and the Gezrites--or the Gerizi [GESENIUS],
(Jos 12:12),
some Arab horde which had once encamped there.
and the Amalekites--Part of the district occupied by them lay on the south of the land of Israel
(Jud 5:14; 12:15).

10. 亞吉說：你們今日侵奪了甚麼地方呢？——即突襲，為奪取牲畜和其他戰利品而作的敵對出擊。
大衛說：侵奪了猶大的南方，耶拉篾人的南方——耶拉篾是猶大的曾孫，他的後裔佔據了該支派領地的南部。
基尼人的南方——葉忒羅的後裔，他們佔據了猶大的南方
(Jud 1:16; Nu 24:21)。
他對王室主人所行的欺騙，以及為免有人逃脫報信而進行的無差別殺戮，呈現了大衛歷史這部分不光彩的一面。
英語原文
10. Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to-day?--that is, raid, a hostile excursion for seizing cattle and other booty.
David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites--Jerahmeel was the great-grandson of Judah, and his posterity occupied the southern portion of that tribal domain.
the south of the Kenites--the posterity of Jethro, who occupied the south of Judah
(Jud 1:16; Nu 24:21).
The deceit practised upon his royal host and the indiscriminate slaughter committed, lest any one should escape to tell the tale, exhibit an unfavorable view of this part of David's history.
撒上27:1-4。
掃羅聽見大衛逃到迦特，就不再尋索他。
1. 大衛心裏說……不如我速速逃到非利士人地去——大衛這個決定各方面都是錯的：(1) 這使他離開了神的指示要他停留之處
(1Sa 22:5)；
(2) 這是衝入偶像之地——他曾為此咒詛那些驅逐他的仇敵
(1Sa 26:19)；
(3) 這是從神的百姓中撤回他的謀略和幫助。然而這一步卻被神的護理所用，要使他離開本國，讓非利士人把臨到掃羅及其隨從的災禍帶來。
