Commentary

And when he looked behind him,.... To see how near the enemy was, and who were pursuing him: he sa w me, and called unto me; by which it should rather seem that he belonged to the Philistines than to the Israelites, and as his being an Amalekite shows; for such an one would hardly be admitted among the latter, though it is most likely he was with neither, but happened to come that way just at that time: and I answered, here am I; ready to hear what thou hast to say, and do thy pleasure.
