|Background Ideas=<ul><li>Cush was most likely a supporter of Saul.</li>
<li>Settling civil offenses required taking a 'purgatory oath of...innocence (...Exod 22:10f) (Waltke 2014, 82). Israelites often made alliances between each other ( Gen 14:13, 24; Josh 10:6ff; 1 Sam 20:5–16; 1 Sam 28:1; 29:8). The breaking of these alliances was unacceptable (2 Kings 20:42; 2 Chron 19:2). These alliances also required mutual defensive obligations, such that the enemy of your ally became your enemy (see Tigay 1970, 183–184)</li>
<li>The law forbids false accusations. Those who make false accusations must undergo the punishment that they intended to bring upon others (Deut. 19:16–20).</li></ul>
