1 Samuel 27:5
_ _ 1 Samuel 27:5-12. David begs Ziklag of Achish.
_ _ let them give me a place in some town in the country — It was a prudent arrangement on the part of David; for it would prevent him being an object of jealous suspicion, or of mischievous plots among the Philistines. It would place his followers more beyond the risk of contamination by the idolatries of the court and capital; and it would give him an opportunity of making reprisals on the freebooting tribes that infested the common border of Israel and the Philistines. |
1 Samuel 27:5
Give me a place — A prudent desire. Hereby David designed to preserve his people, both from the vices, which conversation with the Philistines would have exposed them to; and from that envy, and malice, which diversity of religion might have caused. With thee — Which is too great an honour for me, and too burdensome to thee, and may be an occasion of offence to thy people. |
1 Samuel 27:5
And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, (c) let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
(c) Let your officers appoint me a place. |
