Barnes' Notes
While Saul was under the constraining influence of the spirit of prophecy, David escaped from Naioth, and, probably by Samuel' s advice, returned to Saul' s court to commune with Jonathan. Nothing could be a better evidence of his innocence than thus putting himself in Jonathan' s power. Perhaps something passed between Samuel and Saul on the subject, since it appears from I Samuel 20:5, I Samuel 20:25, I Samuel 20:27, that Saul expected David at the feast of the new moon.
