Notes

1 Samuel 26:23

David did not harm Saul (1 Samuel 24:6; 26:9) because Saul was the Lord's anointed one (see study note on 1 Samuel 24:6).

1 Samuel 26:1–25

This was the last time Saul and David were together. The Ziphites informed Saul again about David's hiding place (see 1 Samuel 23:19–20). David spared Saul's life again, just like he did in the cave at En-gedi (see 1 Samuel 24).
