Clarke's 1-samuel 24:12 Bible Commentary
The Lord judge between me and thee - Appeals of this kind to God are the common refuge of the poor and oppressed people. So also among the Hindoos: God will judge between us. Mother Kalee will judge. Sometimes this springs from a consciousness of innocence, and sometimes from a desire of revenge.
Wesley's 1-samuel 24:12 Bible Commentary
24:12 Will avenge - If thou persistest in thy injuries and cruel designs against me.
