Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:8

Theological / Devotional

Thy son David. David assumes this title out of respect to one his elder. Modern travelers in this district note that the present-day manners and customs are almost identical with those of David’s day.

Though an outlaw himself, so far as Saul was concerned, David had been the protector of his people from the predatory attacks from the desert. He had preserved the flocks of Nabal at no expense to their owner. Sheep owners would normally be happy to reward those helping them against loss. David’s request for supplies was legitimate and in harmony with the customs of his time.
