1 Samuel26:5

5 ¶ And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched : and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench , and the people pitched round about him.

Came near to the skirts of Saul's Camp; which he might easily discover from some neighbouring Hill, or Wood; and yet, not be discerned himself. And it is probable, he came thither disguised, and towards Night.

Encompassed with his Carriages for better security. Compare, 1 Sam. 17. 20.

Marginal references: Chap. 14. 50. 17. 55.; Or, midst of [illegible: 1+ letters]is carriages.
