Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 25:28

28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine hand-maid : for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house , because my lord fighteth the battels of the LORD , and evil hath not been found in thee, all thy days .

i. e. Which I have taken upon my self, v. 24. and which, if it be not Pardoned, but Punished, the Punishment will reach to me.

i. e. Will give the Kingdom to thee, and to thy House for ever, as he hath promised thee. And therefore let Gods great kindness to thee, make thee gentle and merciful to others; do not fully thy approaching Glory with the stain of Innocent Blood; but consider, that it is the glory of a King (which thou art by Gods appointment, and shall ere long actually be) to pass by Offences; and that it will be thy loss to cut off such as will shortly be thy Subjects.

i. e. For the Lord, and for the People of the Lord against their Enemies; especially, the Philistines. And as that is thy proper Work, and therein thou mayest expect Gods blessing and help; so it is not thy work to draw thy Sword in thy own private quarrel against any of the people of the Lord; and God will not bless thee in it.

Though thou hast been oft aspersed, and charged with many Crimes, by Saul and others; yet thy Innocency hath been, and is evident to all men: do not therefore now by this cruel act of Vengeance justifie thine Enemies Reproaches, nor blemish thy great and just Reputation.
