It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
"David knew Saul too well to trust him and therefore returned to the stronghold.  It is dangerous venturing upon the mercy of a reconciled enemy.  We read of men who believed in Christ, but Christ did not commit himself to them, `because he knew all men.'"[15]  "David, with his intuitive wisdom, perceived that the softening of Saul's feelings was only momentary, and that the situation remained unchanged."[16]
