He speaks here of the angels of God<\/I>, as a Jew might be expected to speak; and in 1Sa 29:6<\/span> he appeals to, and swears by Jehovah<\/I>; which, perhaps, no Philistine ever did.

Or it may be used to express Davids great wisdom (as well as integrity); as 2Sa 14:17<\/span>; 19:27<\/span>. The heathens acknowledged good spirits, which also they worshipped as an inferior sort of deities, who were messengers and ministers to the supreme God; only Achish had learned the title of angels from the Israelites his neighbours, and especially from Davids conversation. <\/P> <\/p>\n 9. notwithstanding the princes ofthe Philistines have said<\/B>The Philistine government hadconstitutional checksor at least the king was not an absolutesovereign; but his authority was limitedhis proceedings liable tobe controlled by “the powerful barons of that rude and earlyperiodmuch as the kings of Europe in the Middle Ages were by theproud and lawless aristocracy which surrounded them” [CHALMERS].<\/P><\/p>\n And Achish answered and said unto David<\/strong>,….
