To some it seems strange that David did not effect his escape altogether from Saul after his former attempt to smite him. 1 Samuel 18:11. But doubtless David regarded Saul’s former attack as an outburst of his madness, not flowing from any deep-seated design against his life. But now, after the startling revelations which Jonathan had made to him of Saul’s deadly purpose, he feels that his life is no longer safe in the royal court.
