Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

No wonder, then, that the Ziphites saw David and his men passing to and fro in the mountains of the wilderness. Spying him at a distance when he ventured to show himself on the hill of Hachilah, "on the right hand of the wilderness," that is, the south side of Ziph, they sent in haste to Saul, to tell him of the lurking place of his enemy [VAN DE VELDE].

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Saul had not sent to examine or threaten them, but of their own accord, and even without asking a reward (as Judas did-- What will you give me? ), they offered to betray David to him who, they knew, thirsted after his blood.
