John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. Wherefore now return , etc.] To Ziklag: and go in peace ; not only in a peaceable manner, easy and satisfied, as David was at his very heart to hear this, but all prosperity and happiness attend thee; the Jews distinguish between wishing persons to go in peace, and to go to peace; the former they observe has not issued happily, when the other has, and they instance in the wish of Jethro to Moses, and of David to Absalom; that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines : and what would be the consequence of that he could not say, but suggests it would be most for his peace and safety to depart.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - David scarcely ever had a greater deliverance than when dismissed from such insnaring service. God's people should always behave themselve so, as, if possible, to get the good word of all they have dealing with: and it is due to those who have acted well, to speak well of them _________________________________________________
