  2. Explication du texte

Why did the Philistine commanders refer to the song of David and Saul?

1 Samuel 29:5 (ESV)

5 Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, ‘Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”

The song about David and Saul is the evidence used by the Philistine commanders to support their case. Because the two were linked together in their military exploits, the rulers were convinced that David would not fight against Saul.1
