1 Samuel 24:22

1Sa 24:22 And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.

Ver. 22. And David sware unto Saul. ] The same in effect that he had sworn before to Jonathan.

And Saul went home. ] Convinced, but not converted; Punctus et repunctus, minime tamen ad resipiscentiam compunctus.

Gat them up unto the hold, ] i.e., Of Engedi, 1Sa 24:1 for they knew that there was little hold to be taken of Saul’s melting protestations, whom they had found so faithless. Credulity argueth folly.
