Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 23:8

_ _ Saul called all the people together to war — not the united tribes of Israel, but the inhabitants of the adjoining districts. This force was raised, probably, on the ostensible pretext of opposing the Philistines, while, in reality, it was secretly to arouse mischief against David.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 23:7-13.
