22 Go and get more information. Find out where David usually goes and who has seen him there. They tell me he is very crafty.
22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt
22 Go, make yet more sure. Know and see the place where his foot is, and who has seen him there, for it is told me that he is very cunning.
22 Now go back and check everything out. Learn his routines. Observe his movements - where he goes, who he's with. He's very shrewd, you know.
22 Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty.
22 Go and check again to be sure of where he is staying and who has seen him there, for I know that he is very crafty.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 23:22
Commentary on 1 Samuel 23:19-29
(Read 1 Samuel 23:19-29)
In the midst of his wickedness, Saul affected to speak the language of piety. Such expressions, without suitable effects, can only amuse or deceive those who hear, and those who use them. This mountain was an emblem of the Divine Providence coming between David and the destroyer. Let us not be dismayed at the prospect of future difficulties, but stay ourselves upon Him who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working. Sooner than his promise shall fail, he will commission Philistines to effect our escape, at the very moment when our case appears most desperate. God requires entire dependence on him, If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established, Isaiah 7:9.
