- 1 Samuel 5:8
So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and asked, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” “It must be moved to Gath,” they replied. So they carried away the ark of the God of Israel.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 5:81 voice
8. Because it is said that the satraps of the Philistines gathered together, but why they gathered is not stated. Yet because the satraps are said to have responded and to have given counsel about carrying the ark around, it is clearly understood that they had been summoned to give counsel regarding that same ark. Who then are the satraps of the Philistines, if not the chosen preachers of the Gentiles? Satraps are indeed called princes.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:41 voice

- 1 Samuel 21:10–15
That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 21:10–151 voice
Every kind of honour and happiness was bestowed upon you, and then was fulfilled that which is written, "My beloved ate and drank, and was enlarged and became fat, and kicked." [Deuteronomy 32:15] Hence flowed emulation and envy, strife and sedition, persecution and disorder, war and captivity. So the worthless rose up against the honoured, those of no reputation against such as were renowned, the foolish against the wise, the young against those advanced in years.

Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 8:11 voice
The history of the Kings [Samuel] recounts that David won these victories after he succeeded Saul in the kingship, and it seems inappropriate to introduce them into our ordered arrangement here since they are known to be recounted extensively there. But we must realize that …

And Gath,.... Which cannot be that Gath which was one of the principalities of the Philistines, but a city in the tribe of Judah; though of it we nowhere else read; unless this is the same with Moreshethgath, Mic 1:14, which is probable, since it follows: and Mareshah; the birth place of Micah the prophet, Mic 1:1, and Ziph; there were two cities of this name in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:24.
