1 Samuel 23
God. Hebrew. Elohim. App-4.
delivered. Hebrew. nakar. A homonym. Compare Deuteronomy 32:27, "behave strangely"; Job 34:19, regard or acknowledge. Here = to deliver.
prepare. Some codices, with two early printed editions, read "and prepare".
haunt = track, or trail.
the wilderness = a wild forest or park-like country. Carmel of Judah. Not Carmel of Manasseh.
seek him. Some codices, with one early printed edition (margin), read "seek David".
into a rock = from the rock.
Saul. Some codices, with one early printed edition (margin), add "and his men".
for fear of Saul = from the face of Saul.
Sela-hammahlekoth = the cliff of divisions or separations. Now Wady Malaky, where two forces could be inaccessible the one to the other, and yet within sight and hearing.
