Clarke's 1-samuel 25:20 Bible Commentary
She came down - and David - came down - David was coming down Mount Paran; Abigail was coming down from Carmel. - Calmet.
Barnes's 1-samuel 25:20 Bible Commentary
The covert of the hill - Probably a defile or glen, literally a "secret place," as in 1 Samuel 19:2. She was riding down into this glen from one side, while David and his men were descending the opposite hill. It is perhaps mentioned that she came by this "secret place," because she chose this path to escape the observation of her husband or of anyone else.
