1 Samuel24:21
21 Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me , and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my fathers house.
As Princes use to destroy their Competitors, and those that have any hopes of, or pretence to their Crown; and Saul had endeavoured to destroy David for the same reason, and therefore he feared a retaliation.
To wit, by cutting off my Seed. So it is the same thing repeated in other words, as is usual in Scripture.
