1 Samuel 26
Wiersbe explains that David's "address was only “my lord, O king.” Saul’s daughter Michal was no longer David’s wife (1Sa 25:44+), so David was no longer son-in-law to the king. Furthermore, Saul certainly hadn’t treated David like a son." (Borrow Be Successful) As
1 Samuel 26
Wiersbe - Like Nabal, the Ziphites were related to Caleb (1 Chron. 2:42), but being members of the tribe of Judah, they should have been loyal to David. Hoping to gain the king’s approval, for a second time they betrayed David to Saul (1Sa 23:19ff; see Ps. 54) (Be successful 1 Samuel) Wiersbe nicely outlines this chapter Treachery - 1 Samuel 26:1-4 Audacity - 1 Samuel 26:5-12 Mockery - 1 Samuel 26:13-16 Dishonesty - 1 Samuel 26:17-25 Related Resource: What does the Bible say about snitching / being a snitch? | GotQuestions.org 1 Samuel 26:2 So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.

They were not tears of repentance but tears of remorse. Paul described this genre of "false repentance" associated with worldly sorrow in contrast to genuine repentance associated with godly sorrow... ....And not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more. 8 For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it–for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while– 9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. 10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, BUT (HERE IS THE STRIKING CONTRAST) the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter. (2Cor 7:7-11+) and went down to the wilderness (midbār; Lxx - eremos) of Ziph (see #15 in map), having with him three thousand chosen ("elite," "best trained") men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness (midbār; Lxx - eremos) of Ziph - The text says to search for David and clearly his goal is to kill him. He again brings his 3000 "crack troops" (as in 1Sa 24:2) so that he outnumbers David's men. Arthur W.
1 Samuel 26
Wiersbe - If David had broken one of God’s laws, then he was willing to bring a sacrifice and have his sin forgiven by the Lord. But if Saul was treating David like a criminal because of the lies his officers had told him, then they were the offenders, not David, and they would pay for their sins. Saul and his officers had driven David out of his own land, the very inheritance that the Lord had given his family, and if David moved to other lands, how could he worship Jehovah away from the priesthood and the sanctuary? (Note: In that day, many people believed that the god you worshiped was limited to the territory of the people who worshiped him, and when you moved to another country, you adopted the gods of that country. Those who worshiped Jehovah had to do it in the land of Israel. David certainly didn’t believe this lie but exalted Jehovah as the Lord of all the earth. See Psalms 8, 138–139.) (Borrow Be Successful) NET Note - Heb “may he smell.” The implication is that Saul should seek to appease God, for such divine instigation to evil would a sign of God’s disfavor. For a fuller discussion of this passage see R. B. Chisholm, Jr., “Does God Deceive?” BSac 155 (1998): 19–21. but if it is men, cursed are they before the LORD - NLT = "But if this is simply a human scheme, then may those involved be cursed by the LORD." David commits any such men to the judgment of God.
