  2. Explication du texte

Why did Saul give up his search for David?

1 Samuel 27:4 (NEG79)

4 Saül, informé que David s'était enfui à Gath, cessa de le chercher.

With David having left the territory of Israel, he was no longer a direct threat to Saul’s legitimacy or rule. Also, it would now be much more costly to chase him. Giving up his search, David’s plan is shown to have succeeded admirably (see 1 Samuel 26:25).1
