Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:19

Theological / Devotional

The Lord reward thee. What a manifest change in tone from the criticism Saul hurled at his own tribesmen because he could get no reports from them as to David’s whereabouts (chapter 22:8)! Then the king was harsh and exacting, but now his voice was manifestly tender. His emotion was so great that he wept. He could scarcely believe he had been saved by so narrow a margin. Once so boastful, now so humble! So will the wicked be before the judgment seat of the Most High (see GC 668, 669).
