Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Samuel 27:4
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
By which it is implied that he would have gone on in persecuting David, if he had continued in his dominions.

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath,…. Who very probably had his spies out to watch his motions, and report to him where he was, and what he was doing:
and he sought no more again for him; by which it seems as if he would have sought after him again, had he continued in the land of Israel; but now being gone, and in an enemy’s country, and having nothing to fear from him while there, he laid aside all thoughts of seeking after him.

(4) And it was told Saul.This short statement tells us plainly that up to the moment when Saul heard that David had crossed the frontier, he had not ceased to pursue after him and to seek his life. Ewald considers that it was during the residence at Gath that David exercised himself as a musician in the Gittitei.e., the Philistinestyle, which he afterwards transferred from there to Judah and Jerusalem. (See titles of Psalms 8, 81, 84, upon the Gittith.) Gittith is a feminine adjective derived from Gath; the words possibly signify, after the Gittith manner: some peculiar measure of style of Philistine music, or else the reference may be to a Philistine musical instrument.
