That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is] none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

Commentary on 1 Samuel 22:8

Theological / Devotional

Conspired against me. Because of his insane jealousy Saul began to pity himself and blame everyone but himself for all his frustrated attempts to capture David. He now resorted to heaping shame upon his own tribesmen for withholding information from him in order to aid a rival from Judah. Even his own son had, so he thought, turned against him, and was guilty of treason. He had threatened to have him put to death once before (chapter 14:44); now he felt that the people’s sympathies were with Jonathan even more than before.
