Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 23:9

9 ¶ And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod .

Whereby it may seem he pretended that he raised this Army to defend Keilah and his Country from the Philistines, and kept his intention against David in his own Breast. Or, designed or devised: for so the word signifies; and it is here Translated by many, and it seems both from v. 8. and from his publickly avowed jealousie o[illegible: 1+ letters], and rage against David, that he declared his design to be against him, as a Traitor to his Crown and Dignity.

And put it upon thee, that thou maist ask Counsel of God for me.
