Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 29:1-11

Yahweh’s providential protection of David ch. 29As Saul reached the depth of his fortunes, David attained the height of his popularity thus far. This chapter seems to antedate the previous one slightly. The writer appears to have incorporated it in his narrative here to highlight the contrasts between Saul and David in chapters 27-31. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 29:6-11

David’s exemption from the battle 29:6-11Achish swore in Yahweh’s name to David, probably to impress the truth of what he was saying on David, that David had been upright and pleasing to him. Nevertheless David had not won the confidence of the other Philistine commanders, and so he had to return to Philistia. David again (cf. 1 Samuel 17:29; 1 Samuel 20:1; 1 Samuel 26:18) asked, "What have I done?" He had done nothing to deserve this rejection. He then professed to want to go into the battle... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 29:1-11

David Disallowed from Fighting with the Philistines1. Jezreel] the plain between Gilboa and Little Hermon. 3. He fell unto me] i.e. ’deserted to me.’4. An adversary] Heb. satan. Satan, the evil spirit, is always entitled ’the Satan,’ i.e. the Adversary (Job 1, 2; Zechariah 3:1).6. As the lord liveth] Achish would recognise that Jehovah was the national god of Israel and that He existed as well as Dagon (cp. 1 Kings 17:12).11. The Philistines went up to Jezreel] The Philistines could not attack... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Samuel 29:10

(10) With thy master’s servants.—The words have perplexed expositors. It is hardly the expression we should expect Achish to use of David’s followers. All Israelites were, of course, “subjects of Saul,” but the term would hardly be used except by one hostile to David, as Nabal was; he once (1 Samuel 25:10) made use of an insulting term of a like nature to David. Achish, we know, seemed ever kindly disposed to the outlawed son of Jesse. A probable suggestion has, however, been lately made, that... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 29:1-11

CHAPTER XXXIIIDAVID’S SECOND FLIGHT TO GATH.1 Samuel 27:1-12; 1 Samuel 28:1-2; 1 Samuel 29:1-11.WE are not prepared for the sad decline in the spirit of trust which is recorded in the beginning of the twenty-seventh chapter. The victory gained by David over the carnal spirit of revenge, shown so signally in his sparing the life of Saul a second time, would have led us to expect that he would never again fall under the influence of carnal fear. But there are strange ebbs and flows in the... read more

8. David and Achish and Ziklag Destroyed and Avenged CHAPTER 29 1. The objections of the Philistine lords (1 Samuel 29:1-5 ) 2. Achish dismisses David (1 Samuel 29:6-11 ) While David’s enemy, Saul, heard his coming doom, David was still with the enemies of God’s people. The Philistines were gathered against Israel and David was with Achish ready to fight against the Lord’s people. The lords of the Philistines however object to his presence. They still remember the song of bygone days and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 29:1-11

The events of this chapter apparently took place before Saul's visit to the witch of En-dor, for Saul was killed the day following that visit (ch.28:19), and the battle in which he was killed did not take place until after David's defeat of the Amalekites recorded in chapter 30:16-20. In verse 1 the Philistines and Israel are seen preparing for battle. As the armies were marching in their various units, David and his men are seen marching with Achish. This alarms the leaders of the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 29:1-11

SAUL ’S CAREER ENDED CALAMITY FORETOLD (1 Samuel 28:0 ) This chapter is important and illustrates again the deceptive character of Saul. Having professedly put the necromancers out of Israel in obedience to the divine command (Leviticus 19:31 ; Leviticus 20:27 ; Deuteronomy 18:10-11 ), he no sooner finds himself in straits than he seeks out one of them for his aid. Two questions arise. Did Samuel really come forth from the dead, and was it the woman’s power that brought him forth? To the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Samuel 29:1-11

Atheistic Reasoning 1Sa 29:6 ; 1Sa 30:6 THE trials which David underwent at the hands of Saul have now been fully dwelt upon; we now come to a different class of trials, viz., the afflictions which were laid upon David by the Philistines. When David was so severely persecuted by Saul, he went over to the Philistines; specially he allied himself with Achish, the Philistine king of Gath, and fought under his direction. David succeeded in winning the confidence of Achish, so much so that on... read more
