Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

removed   1Sa 18:17,25; 1Sa 8:12; 1Sa 22:7
he went out   1Sa 18:16; Num 27:16,17; 2Sa 5:2; Psa 121:8; Saul was sensible that the LORD was departed from him; while he perceived, with evident sorrow of heart, that the LORD had given David peculiar wisdom, and that he was with him to prosper all his undertakings. This increased the disquietude of his malevolent mind, and his dread of David as a prevailing rival: he therefore removed him from his presence. This impolitic step, however, served the more to ingratiate David with the people, by affording him the opportunity of leading them forth to victory over their enemies.
