He may have taken this step for religious reasons, though his swearing by Jehovah (ver. 21) does not prove it, as Achish did the same; (1Sa_29:6) or Ittai, after the capture of Gath by David, (2Sa_8:1) may have made himself unpopular by becoming the ally of the conqueror, and so finally have determined to leave the city, and find a home in Israel.
