11 So David arose early , he and his men , to depart in the morning to return to 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.
