Commentary on the Bible (1832)

David fled, and escaped - to Samuel - He, no doubt, came to this holy man to ask advice; and Samuel thought it best to retain him for the present, with himself at Naioth, where it is supposed he had a school of prophets.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

It was a retreat congenial to the mind of David; but Saul, having found out his asylum, sent three successive bodies of men to apprehend him. The character of the place and the influence of the sacred exercises produced such an effect on them that they were incapable of discharging their commission, and were led, by a resistless impulse, to join in singing the praises of God.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
