1 Samuel 26:1

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

The Ziphites came - This is the second time that these enemies of David endeavored to throw him into the hands of Saul. See 1 Samuel 23:19.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

The incident related in this chapter of the meeting between Saul and David bears a strong general resemblance to that recorded in Genesis 2:4 ff; the two narratives of David‘s war, 2 Kings 9:27 ff; and 2 Chronicles 22:9.)

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
How soon do unholy hearts lose the good impressions convictions have made upon them! How helpless were Saul and all his men! All as though disarmed and chained, yet nothing is done to them; they are only asleep. How easily can God weaken the strongest, befool the wisest, and baffle the most watchful! David still resolved to wait till God thought fit to avenge him on Saul. He will by no means force his way to the promised crown by any wrong methods. The temptation was very strong; but if he yielded, he would sin against God, therefore he resisted the temptation, and trusted God with the event.
