1 Samuel26:1
AND the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon ?
Having once betrayed him before, they thought their Case desperate with David; and therefore did more strenuously assist Saul in discovering him, in order to his Ruine.
He is returned to his former haunt: of which see Chap. 23. 19. This place might be convenient for him, either for its nearness to Abigails Estate: or because he might think, that Saul was mollified, and the Ziphites cautioned by the unsuccessfullness of their former Attempt; or because he could from thence, make good his Retreat into other places, if need were.
