Barnes' Notes
The incident related in this chapter of the meeting between Saul and David bears a strong general resemblance to that recorded in 1 Sam. 24, and is of a nature unlikely to have occurred more than once. Existing discrepancies are explained by the supposition that one narrative relates fully some incidents on which the other is silent. On the whole the most probable conclusion is that the two narratives relate to one and the same event. (Compare the two narratives of the Creation, Gen. 1; Genesis 2:4 ff; the two narratives of David' s war, 2 Sam. 8; and 2 Sam. 10; and those of the death of Ahaziah, II Kings 9:27 ff; and II Chronicles 22:9.)
