"And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life,.... Either he saw him with his bodily eyes from the top of the mountain where he was, Sa1
23:14 ; or he perceived, he understood by information given him by his friends, it may be by Jonathan, or by spies he sent to observe his motions: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood; where he and his men could hide themselves among the trees in it; sometimes he was in a mountain in this wilderness, and sometimes in a wood, where he thought himself the safest; thus was this great man obliged to shift about for his safety.
