1 Samuel 29 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Many translations set apart quotations, prayers, or songs. 1 Samuel 29:5 is a song praising David. It has been set apart in the ULB through the use of indentation.
Other possible translation difficulties
It is unclear whether David wanted to go into battle with the Philistines. He would have been fighting against Saul, but he also would have been fighting against Israel's soldiers. It is probably best to see that David is conflicted over this issue, but some scholars believe that David planned on turning against the Philistines in the battle.
