David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity?" and "What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"
(6) Besides all this, a visitation from God himself had frustrated Saul's expedition to Nairoth.  That visitation had overtones of prophecy connected with it; and, near the beginning of Saul's career, such an experience had resulted in Saul's being turned, "into another man"  (1 Samuel 10:6).  David had every right to hope that a similar change in Saul's life might have been effected by this new prophetic experience.
