11 So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 29:11

Commentary on 1 Samuel 29:6-11

(Read 1 Samuel 29:6-11)

David scarcely ever had a greater deliverance than when dismissed from such insnaring service. God's people should always behave themselves so, as, if possible, to get the good word of all they have dealings with: and it is due to those who have acted well, to speak well of them.
