1 Samuel 21:10 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. — 1 Samuel 21:10
Source Coverage: 1 Samuel 21:10-15
God's persecuted people have often found better usage from Philistines than from Israelites. David had reason to put confidence in Achish, yet he began to be afraid. His conduct was degrading, and discovered wavering in his faith and courage. The more simply we depend on God, and obey him, the more comfortably and surely we shall walk through this troublesome world.
