Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 27:1

I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul; I see by this late experience his restless and implacable hatred against me, and how little heed is to be given to all his pretences of repentance or friendship. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines: but this was certainly a very great mistake and fault in David; for, 1. This proceeded from gross distrust of God’s promise and providence; and that after such repeated demonstrations of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 27:1-12

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—1 Samuel 27:1. “Saul shall despair,” or “desist from me.” “The idea of the word is, to give a thing up as impossible or useless.” (Erdmann.)1 Samuel 27:2. “Achish, son of Maoch.” The particular description of the family of Achish have led some to suppose that he is not the person mentioned in 1 Samuel 21:10, but that Achish was a common name for the Philistine kings. If he is identical with the monarch mentioned in 1 Kings 2:39 as the son of Maachah, he must have... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 27:1-12

Chapter 27Now David made a negative confession in chapter twenty-seven, and if what these people are preaching today, David would've been killed by Saul. If what they say is true, "If you are what you say," if words have a creative force, and words become a creative force, and you can say it into existence, and so forth, then you've got God's divine fiat power and you've become as God.But David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul ( 1 Samuel 27:1 ):What a negative... read more

The Gezrites are the people of Gezer. Joshua 16:3. The people of Amalek have been spoken of before.

How variable is the Christian’s experience! Few pass on long without changes; the more equable Christians are generally those of the slightest attainment.
