1 Samuel 29:6

As the Lord liveth] It is marvellous that a heathen should sweare by the true God: but he did it, either to flatter with David: or according to the Pagans opinion and false ceremonies, who beleeve, that each nation hath its severall God living and reigning over his people, as others doe over theirs.

1 Samuel 29:8

But what] Feigned words.
