1 Samuel - 24:9 Meaning
“And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
24:8-15 David was falsely charged with seeking Saul's hurt; he shows Saul that God's providence had given him opportunity to do it. And it was upon a good principle that he refused to do it. He declares his fixed resolution never to be his own avenger. If men wrong us, God will right us, at farthest, in the judgment of the great day.
“And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.”
