This is a repeat of the previous chapter. Didn't Saul see his wrong at the cave where David hid? David said the same things in that chapter as to this one. How did Saul go back to wanting to kill him? I got a headache from this confusion.
The Ahimelek of 1 Samuel 26:6, the Hittite, was very likely one of David's warriors; a foreigner, one of many, who attached themselves to David, & particularly after David was made king. Others were Uriah the Hittite ( 2 Samuel 11); Ittai the Gittite ( 2 Samuel 15:19); plus the Cherethites & Pelethites; & those mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:27-31. These recognized David's authority of kingship & were pleased to be subservient to him & come under the true God.
And the Ahimelek of 1 Samuel chapter 21, was a priest, whom King Saul accused of being in collaboration with his enemy David, and thus had him killed by Doeg. Ahimelek is the same one (called Abimelech in 1 Chronicles 18:16) & thought to be a scribal error.
Well, in vs.9 this ch.,David did not harm Saul because he was the annointed one,Saul did have an obsession,but I think father was still using him till the time comes he will pay for his sins,father has the master plans,all the blue prints and lay outs :),there is no coincidence about what is going on,hence the sin he commits when he speaks to Samuel in the afterlife,through a seance type deal
It began with envy after David slew Goliath; "Saul hath slain his thousands, David hath slain his ten thousands."
Later, God gave Saul an evil spirit. I Samuel 16:14-23
And the Ahimelek of 1 Samuel chapter 21, was a priest, whom King Saul accused of being in collaboration with his enemy David, and thus had him killed by Doeg. Ahimelek is the same one (called Abimelech in 1 Chronicles 18:16) & thought to be a scribal error.
