Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

1Sa 20:24-40. Saul, Missing David, Seeks to Kill Jonahan.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:24-34 None were more constant than David in attending holy duties; nor had he been absent, but self-preservation obliged him to withdraw. In great peril present opportunities for Divine ordinances may be waved. But it is bad for us, except in case of necessity, to omit any opportunity of statedly attending on them. Jonathan did wisely and well for himself and family, to secure an interest in David, yet for this he is blamed. It is good to take God's people for our people. It will prove to our advantage at last, however it may now be thought against our interest. Saul was outrageous. What savage beasts, and worse, does anger make men!


1 Samuel 20:23 "As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever."
1 Samuel 20:25 The king sat on his seat as usual, the seat by the wall; then Jonathan rose up and Abner sat down by Saul's side, but David's place was empty. (NASB ©1995)
