EXPLANATION

Verse 14. Thee: the tree is known by its fruit. If therefore I have behaved in this manner, no longer trust the reports of others against me. Calmet.—The wicked, if left to themselves, will be their own tormentors. He may thus indirectly threaten Saul, as iniquity is often put for punishment. Menochius.—The wicked shall at last open thier eyes, and be reclaimed. Rabbins ap. Munster.—David entertained hopes that even Saul would now be convinced of his innocence. Bible.
