Haydock's commentary
Haret, west of Jerusalem. Septuagint read "the town of Haret," (Eusebius) or "Sarec." (Menochius)
Rama, "the height," in Gabaa. (Calmet)
God would not suffer David and his followers to continue long among the infidels, for fear of danger. (Menochius)
The hero shews his ready obedience to the word of the unknown prophet, and is willing again to expose himself in the midst of Saul's dominions. (Salien)
