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 the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
