1. 1 Samuel 21:10 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Did David go to Gath on the same day?

1 Samuel 21:10 (ESV)

10 And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath.

In the Hebrew, the phrase on that day marks a transitional event. It is not necessarily the case that David left for Gath on the same day that he went to Nob from Gibeah.1
