John Wesley's Notes
<< 1 Samuel 23:16   1 Samuel 23:18 >>


1 Samuel 23:17

Next to thee - Which he gathered either from David's generosity, and friendship to him; or from some promise made to him by David concerning it. So that the whole imports thus much; I do not look to be king myself (as by my birth I might expect,) but that thou shalt be king (God having so appointed) and I but in a secondary place inferior to thee.
