The Hebrew phrase, {manah achath appayim,} is correctly
rendered by Gesenius, {ein Stud fur zwei personen, doppelle
Portion,} "a portion for two persons, a double portion;" for
{aph} in Hebrew, and [prosopon] in Greek, which literally mean
a face, are used for a person.

word of the Lord was revealed unto him.
* did not yet.
Samuel was not destitute of the knowledge of God, in that
sense which implies the total absence of true piety, as Eli's
sons were; for he knew and worshipped the God of Israel: but
he did not know him as communicating special revelations of
his will to him, in the manner in which he made it known to
the prophets.
Jer 9:24 Ac 19:2
經文：撒母耳記上 3:8-3:8 註釋:
* the third.
Job 33:14,15
Although Samuel did not apprehend the way in which God reveals
himself to his servants the prophets--by the "still small
voice"--yet when this direct communication from the Almighty
was made the third time, in a way altogether new and strange
to him, it seems astonishing that he did not immediately
apprehend. Perhaps he would have been sooner aware of a
divine revelation, had it come in a dream or a vision. Those
who have the greatest knowledge of divine things, should
remember the time when they were as babes, unskilful in the
word of righteousness.

audible voice.
* as at other.
4-6,8
Samuel did not now rise and run as before, when thought he Eli
called, but lay still and listened. All must be silent, when
God speaks. Observe, however, Samuel in his reply left out
one word: he did not say, Speak, Lord, but only Speak, for
thy servant heareth; perhaps, as Bp. Patrick suggests, out of
uncertainty, whether it was God that spake to him or not.
However, by this answer way was made for the message he was
now to receive, and Samuel was brought acquainted with the
words of God and visions of the Almighty.

Samuel reverenced Eli as a father, and feared to distress him
by shewing what God had purposed to do. It does not appear
that God commanded Samuel to deliver this message; he
therefore did not attempt it till adjured by Eli. It might be
supposed that Samuel would have been so full of ecstasy as to
have forgotten his ordinary service, and run amongst his
friends to tell them of the converse he had with God in the
night: but he modestly keeps it to himself. Our secret
communion with God is not to be proclaimed on the house-top.

Ashdod, called Azotus by the Greeks, was one of the five
satrapies of the Philistines, and a place of great strength
and consequence. It was situated near the Mediterranean,
between Askelon and Jamnia, thirty-four miles north of Gaza,
according to Diodorus Siculus, and the Antonine and Jerusalem
Itineraries. It is now called Shdood; and Dr. Richardson says
they neither saw nor heard of any ruins there. "The ground,"
he observes, "around Ashdod is beautifully undulating, but not
half stocked with cattle. The site of the town is on the
summit of a grassy hill; and, if we are to believe historians,
was anciently as strong as it was beautiful."

* of Dagon.
The name of this idol, Dagon, signifies a fish: and it is
supposed to be the Atergatis of the Syrians, corruptly called
Derceto by the Greeks, which had the upper part like a woman,
and the lower part like a fish; as Lucian informs us:
[Derketous de eidos en Phoinike ethe(8273)am(826e), the(826d)a xenon;
(826d)isen men gyn(823b) to de okoson ek m(8272)▋ es akrous podas,
ichtlyos our(8220)apoteinetai;] "In Phoenicia I saw the image of
Derceto; a strange sight truly! For she had the half of a
woman, but from the thighs downward a fish's tail." Diodorus,
(1. ii.) describing the same idol, as represented at Askelon,
says, [to men pros▉on echei synaikos, to d'allo s▌a pan
ichthyos.] "It had the head of a woman, but all the rest of
the body a fish's." Probably Horace alludes to this idol, in
De Art. Poet. v. 4; {Desinat in piscem, mulier formosa
superne:} "The upper part a handsome woman, and the lower
part a fish." If such was the form of this idol, then
everything that was human was broken off from what resembled a
fish.

Bochart has collected many curious accounts relative to the
terrible devastations made by these mischievous animals.
William, Archbishop of Tyre, records, that in the beginning of
the twelfth century, a penitential council was held at
Naplouse, where five and twenty canons were framed for the
correction of the manners of the inhabitants of the Christian
kingdom of Jerusalem, who they apprehended had provoked to
bring upon them the calamities of earthquakes, war, and
famine. This last he ascribes to locusts and devouring mice,
which had for four years together so destroyed the fruits of
the earth as to cause an almost total failure of their crops.
It was customary for the ancient heathen to offer to their
gods such monuments of their deliverance as represented the
evils from which they had been rescued; and Tavernier informs
us, that among the Indians, when a pilgrim goes to one of the
pagodas for a cure, he brings the figure of the member
affected, made of gold, silver, or copper, according to his
circumstances, which he offers to his god.

As it is very improbable that the village of Beth-shemesh
should contain, or be capable of employing, 50,070; men in the
fields at wheat harvest, much less that they could all peep
into the ark, and from the uncommon manner in which it is
expressed in the original, it is generally allowed that there
is some corruption in the text, or that some explanatory word
is omitted. The Hebrew is {shivim ish, chamishim aileph ish,}
literally, "seventy men, fifty thousand men:" so LXX.
[ .]
Vulgate, {septuaginta viros, et quinquaginta millia plebis,}
"70; (chief) men, and 50,000; common people." Targum, {besabey
(836d)ma,} "of the elders of the people 70; men, {ovekahala,} and
in the congregation 50,000; men." But the Syriac, {chamsho
alphin weshivin gavrin,} "5,000; and 70; men;" with which the
Arabic agrees; while Josephus has only [ ,] seventy men;
and three reputable MSS. of Dr. Kennicott's also omit "50,000
men." Some learned men, however, would render, by supplying
[M(886d),] {mem,} "70; men; fifty out of a thousand;" which
supposes about 1,400; present, and that a twentieth part were
slain.

Grotius says, that the pouring out of water means the shedding

hearts in penitence, as waters, before the Lord." Others
suppose that it was done emblematically, to represent the
contrition of their hearts, and their desire to wash away
their past offences. But some learned men conceive that it
was poured out as a libation, in token of joy, after they had
fasted and confessed their sin, as they were wont to do in the
feast of tabernacles. (See note on Nu. 29:35.)

Gilgal, the tribe of Benjamin and those beyond Jordan could
have easy access to him; and when at Mizpeh, he was within the
reach of Judah, Simeon, and Gad: but at Ramah was the place
of his ordinary abode; and there he held his court, for there
he judged Israel: and as it is probable that Shiloh was
destroyed, it is said (ver. 17) that there, i.e., at Ramah,
"he built an altar to the Lord."

"Hitherto," says Puffendorf, "the people of Israel had lived
under governors raised up by God, who had exacted no tribute
of them, nor put them to any charge; but little content with
this form of government, they desire to have a king like other
nations, who should live in magnificence and pomp, keep
armies, and be able to resist any invasion. Samuel informs
them what it was they desired; that, when they understood it,
they might consider whether they would persist in their
choice. If they would have a king splendidly attended, he
tells them that he would take their sons for his chariots,
etc.: if they would have him keep up constant forces, then he
would appoint them for colonels and captains, and employ those
in his wars who were accustomed to follow their family
business; and since, after the manner of other kings, he must
keep a stately court, they must be content that their
daughters should serve in several offices, which the king
would think below the dignity of his wives and daughters.
(ver. 13.) In one word, that, to sustain his dignity, their
king would exact the tenth of all they possessed, and be
maintained in a royal manner out of their estates."

We are not to suppose from this that the prophets took money
to predict future events: Saul only refers to an invariable
custom, that no man approached a superior without some present
or another, however small in value. Dr. Pococke tells us of a
present of fifty radishes! Other authors mention a flower, an
orange, or similar trifles; and Mr. Bruce says, that one who
wished to solicit a favour from him, presented him with about
a score of dates! "I mention this trifling circumstance,"
says Mr. B. "to shew how essential to human and civil
intercourse presents are considered to be in the East; whether
it be dates, or whether it be diamonds, they are so much a
part of their manners, that without them, an inferior will
never be at peace in his own mind, or think that he has hold
of his superior for protection. But superiors give no
presents to their inferiors." Presents then are tokens of
honour; not intended as offers of payment or enrichment.

The word {roaih} literally signifies one who sees;
particularly preternatural sights. A seer and a prophet were
the same in most cases; only with this difference, the seer
was always a prophet, but the prophet was not always a seer.
A seer seems to imply one who frequently met with and saw some
symbolical representation of God. All prophets, true or
false, profess to see God, (see Nu 24:4, 16. Jer 14:4;) and
diviners, in their enthusiastic flights, boasted that they had
those things exhibited to their sight which should come to
pass.

The following history of Saul is given by the Afghans, a
people generally supposed to be of Jewish origin: "In a war
which raged between the children of Israel and the Amalekites,
the latter being victorious, plundered the Jews, and obtained
possession of the ark of the covenant. Considering this [as]
the God of the Jews, they threw it into the fire, which did
not affect it. They afterwards attempted to cleave it with
axes, but without success: every individual who treated it
with indignity, was punished for his temerity. They then
placed it in their temple; but all their idols bowed to it.
At length they fastened it upon a cow, which they turned loose
in the wilderness. When the prophet Samuel arose, the
children of Israel said to him, 'We have been totally subdued
by the Amalekites, and have no king. Raise to us a king, that
we may be enabled to contend for the glory of God.' Samuel
said, 'In case you are led out to battle, are you determined
to fight?' They answered, 'What has befallen us, that we
should not fight against infidels? That nation has banished
us from our country and children.' At this time the angel
Gabriel descended, and delivering a wand, said, 'It is the
command of God, that the person whose stature shall correspond
with this wand, shall be king of Israel.' Melec T(a06c)ㄅ was at
that time a man of inferior condition, and performed the
humble employment of feeding the goats and cows of others.
One day, a cow under his charge was accidentally lost. Being
disappointed in his searches, he was greatly distressed, and
applied to Samuel saying, 'I have lost a cow, and I do not
possess the means of satisfying the owner. Pray for me that I
may be extricated from this difficulty.' Samuel perceiving
that he was a man of lofty stature, asked his name. He
answered, T(a06c)ㄅ. Samuel then said, 'Measure T(a06c)ㄅ with the
wand which the angel Gabriel brought.' His stature was equal
to it. Samuel then said, 'God has raised T(a06c)ㄅ to be your
king.' The children of Israel answered, 'We are greater than
our king. We are men of dignity, and he is of inferior
condition. How shall he be our king?' Samuel informed them,
they should know that God had constituted T(a06c)ㄅ king, by his
restoring the ark of the covenant. He accordingly restored
it, and they acknowledged him their sovereign." Asiatic

The sending the pieces of the oxen was an act similar to that
of the Levite, Jud 19:29, where see the Note. An eminent
Scotch writer describes the rites, incantations, and
imprecations used prior to the fiery cross being circulated,
to summon the rough warriors of ancient times to the service
of their chief; and he alludes to this ancient custom, which
in comparatively modern times, has been practised in Scotland;
and proves that a similar punishment of death, or destruction
of their houses, for disobeying the summons, was inflicted by
the ancient Scandinavians, as recorded by Olaus Magnus, in his
History of the Goths. This bears a striking similarity to the
ancient custom of the Israelites. With the Highlanders, a
goat was slain; with the Israelites, an ox. The exhibition of
a cross, stained with the blood of the sacrificed animal, was
the summons of the former, while part of the animal, was the
mandate of the latter. Disobedience in one nation was
punished with the death of themselves or oxen, and burning of
their dwellings in the other.

Bedan, whose name occurs no where else as a judge of Israel,

as the Targum reads. The LXX., Syriac, and Arabic, however,
instead of Bedan read Barak; and the two latter versions,
instead of Samuel have Samson. These readings are adopted by
Houbigant, and appear to be genuine; for it is not probable
that Samuel would enumerate himself.

In northern latitudes, thunder and rain are far from being
un-common during harvest. But rain is hardly ever known in
Palestine during that season, which commences about the end of
June, or beginning of July. This fact is abundantly confirmed
by modern travellers, and is demonstrative to every
unprejudiced reader of the Holy Scriptures, that the thunder
and rain, which at Samuel's invocation, was sent at this
season of the year, was a miraculous interposition of the
power of God; for we read in ver. 16, it was a "great thing
which the Lord will do." Thus were the Israelites warned of
their sin in having asked a king, and of the omnipotence of
that God, whose gracious promises they virtually neglected by
this act.

year nothing remarkable occurred; but after two years, (or in
the second year of his reign,) the subsequent events took
place.

Michmash was situated east of Bethaven, or Bethel; and

nine miles from Jerusalem, towards Rama.

The Philistines had no doubt collected troops in this
emergency, from all the surrounding nation; but the number of
chariots is immensely large beyond any example, and wholly
disproportioned to the number of their cavalry. It is
probable, therefore, that for {sheloshim aileph,} "thirty
thousand," we should read {shelosh aileph,} "three thousand,"
with the Syriac and Arabic.

The LXX. have, "Samuel arose and went away from Gilgal, and
the remainder of the people went up along with the men of war
after Samuel from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin." This is
probably the true reading; for it does not appear that Samuel
went to Gibeah, which was Saul's usual residence; and the
Hebrew copyist, as Dr. Wall observes, seems to have missed a
line, and added to the sentence concerning Samuel, that which
ended the sentence concerning Saul. One MS. instead of
Samuel, in the beginning of the sentence, reads Saul.

經文：撒母耳記上 14:2-14:2 註釋:
* in the uttermost.
13:15,16 Isa 10:28,29
* a pomegranate.
The word {rimmon,} in Arabic {romman,} whence the Portuguese
{romaa,} denotes the pomegranate, both tree and fruit; called
by naturalists {malus punica} or {malo-granatum.} It is,
according to the Linnean system, a genus of the {icosandria
monogynia} class of plants; and is a low tree, growing very
common in Palestine, and other parts of the East. It has
several small angular boughs, very thick and bushy, covered
with a reddish bark, and some of them armed with sharp thorns.
They are garnished with small, narrow, spear-shaped leaves,
like those of the myrtle, but not so sharp, of a green colour,
inclining to red. Its blossoms are large, beautiful, of an
elegant red colour, inclining to purple, composed of several
stalks resembling a rose, in the hollow of the cup: this cup
is oblong, hard, purple, having a figure somewhat like that of
a bell. It is chiefly valued for its fruit, which is
exceedingly beautiful, of the form and size of a large apple,
with a reddish rind, and red within; being full of small
kernels, with red grains, replenished with a generous liquor,
of which, Sir John Chardin informs us, they still make
considerable quantities of wine in the East, particularly in
Persia. But as the pomegranate tree, from its low growth, is
but little adapted for pitching a tent under, it is probable
that Rimmon here is the name of the rock mentioned in Jud
20:45.

This action of Jonathan's was totally contrary to the laws of
war; no military operation should be undertaken without the
knowledge and command of the general. But it is highly
probable, that this gallant man was led to undertake the
hazardous enterprise by an immediate divine impulse; and by
the same influence was kept from informing the soldiers, and
even from consulting his father, who might have opposed his
design.

requested.

God will in some way or other direct the steps of those who

comfort in that which is least our own doing, and into which
we have been led by the unexpected, but well observed, turns
of Providence.

* Bring hither.
The Septuagint reads [Prosagage to ephoud, hoti autos ere to
ephoud en te hemera ekeine enopiou Israel.] "Bring hither the
ephod; for he bore the ephod on that day before Israel:"
which Houbigant and others think is the true reading. Finding
that his son Jonathan and his armour-bearer were absent, Saul
wished to consult the high-priest; but the tumult increasing,
he says to him, "Withdraw thine hand:" i.e., desist form
consulting the ephod on the present occasion, and immediately
hastened to make the best use he could of this astonishing
victory.

經文：撒母耳記上 14:21-14:21 註釋:
* the Hebrews.
Probably such as they held in bondage, or who were their
servants. Instead of (h(8469)vrim,} "the Hebrews," the LXX.
evidently read {ha(8376)dim,} for they have [Loi douloi,] "the
slaves;" but this reading is not countenanced by any other
version, nor by any MS.

hos deka chiliades andron,] {Et erant cum Saul, quasi decem
millia virorum.} "And [all the people who were, LXX.] there
were with Saul about ten thousand men;" but this is supported
by no other authority.

is immediately removed.

The people having abstained from food the whole of the day,
and being now faint through hunger and fatigue, they flew upon
the cattle, and not taking time to bleed them properly, they
eagerly devoured the flesh with the blood, directly contrary
to the law--another bad effect of Saul's rash adjuration.

It is probable that Saul converted the great stone, on which
the cattle had been slaughtered, into an altar, on which
sacrifices were offered, before the people attempted to
proceed any further. This we are told was the first he had
built. Samuel, as a prophet and priest, had hitherto erected
the altars, but Saul seems to have thought he had sufficient
authority to erect one himself, without the prophet, as he had
once offered sacrifice without him.
7:9,17 Jud 21:4 Ho 8:14 2Ti 3:5

It is evident that Ahiah, who had before been interrupted by
Saul's impatience, doubted of the propriety of pursuing the
Philistines that night, and properly counselled them to
enquire of the Lord.

Both the Septuagint and Vulgate add much to this verse: [Kai
eipe Saoul, Kyrie Lo Theos Israel, ti Loti ouk apekrithes to
doulo sou semeron? ei en emoi e en lonathan to Luio mou he
adikia, Kyrie ho Theos Israel dos delous kai ean tade eipe,

"And Saul said [to the Lord God of Israel, Vulg.] Lord God of
Israel [give a sign, Vulg.] Why is it that thou has not
answered thy servant to-day? If the iniquity be in me, or in
my son Jonathan, [O Lord God of Israel, LXX.] make it
manifest; and if thou say thus, give to thy people Israel,
give mercy," etc., [but Vulg. Or, if this iniquity be in thy

The people judged rightly, that the guilt was contracted by

The Amalekites, a people of Arabia Petr(9161), who inhabited a
tract of country on the frontiers of Egypt and Canaan, had
acted with great cruelty towards the Israelites on their
coming out of Egypt, and God then purposed that Amalek, as a
nation, should be blotted out from under heaven; but it had
been spared till it had filled up the measure of its
iniquities, and now this purpose is carried into effect by
Saul, upwards of 400; years afterwards! Nothing could justify
such an exterminating decree but the absolute authority of
God; and this was given: all the reasons of it we do not
know; but this we know well, the Judge of all the earth doeth
right.

Literally as the LXX. render [cheira,] a hand; probably
because the trophy or monument of victory was in the shape of
a large hand, the emblem of power, erected on a pillar. These
memorial pillars were anciently much in use; and the figure of
a hand, by its emblematical meaning, was well adapted to
preserve the remembrance of a victory. Niebuhr, speaking of
the Mesjed Ali, or Mosque of Ali, says that, "at the top of
the dome, where one generally sees on the Turkish mosques a
crescent, or only a pole, there is here a hand stretched out,
to represent that of Ali." Another writer informs us, that at
the Alhamra, or red palace of the Moorish kings in Grenada,
"on the key-stone of the outward arch [of the present
principal entrance] is sculptured the figure of an arm, the
symbol of strength and dominion."

It has been a matter of wonder to many, how Samuel could thus
slay a captive prince, even in the presence of Saul, who from
motives of clemency had spared him; but it should be remarked,
that what Samuel did here, he did in his magisterial capacity;
and that Agag had been a cruel tyrant, and therefore was cut
off for his merciless cruelties. Farther, it is not likely
that he did it by his own sword, but by that of the
executioner. What kings, magistrates, and generals do, in an
official way, by their subjects, servants, or soldiers, they
are said to do themselves:--{qui facit per alterum, facit per
se.}

For the prudent management of the affair, and to avoid
suspicion, Samuel was directed to go to Bethlehem to
sacrifice, as he probably did from time to time in many
different places; and the answer which he was instructed to
return was strictly true though he did not tell the principal
design of his coming; for though no man in any circumstances
should tell a lie, yet, in all circumstances, he is not bound
to tell the whole truth, though he must tell nothing but the
truth, and so tell that truth that the hearer shall not
believe a lie by it.

The evil spirit was either sent immediately from the Lord, or
permitted to come; but whether this was a diabolic possession,
or a mere mental malady, is not agreed: it seems to have
partaken of both. That Saul had fallen into a deep
melancholy, there is little doubt; and that an evil spirit
might work more effectually on such a state of mind, there can
be little question. His malady appears to have been of a
mixed kind, natural and diabolical: there is too much of
apparent nature in it to permit us to believe it was all
spiritual; and there is too much of apparently supernatural
influence, to suffer us to believe it was all natural.

According to Bp. Cumberland's calculation, the height of
Goliath was about eleven feet ten inches; but Parkhurst
estimating the ordinary cubit at seventeen inches and a half,
calculates that he was nine feet six inches high. Few
instances can be produced of men who can be compared with him.
Pliny says, "The tallest man that hath been seen in our days
was one name Gabara, who, in the days of Claudius, the late
Emperor, was brought out of Arabia: he was nine feet nine
inches." Josephus mentions a Jew, named Eleazar, whom
Vitellius sent to Rome, who was seven cubits, or ten feet two
inches high. Becanus saw a man near ten feet, and a woman
that was full ten feet. And, to mention no more, a man of the
name of John Middleton, born at Hale, near Warrington, in
Lancashire, in the reign of James the First, was more than
nine feet high. Dr. Plott, in his history of Staffordshire,
says, that "his hand, from the carpus to the end of the middle
finger, was seventeen inches, his palms eight inches and a
half broad, and his whole height was nine feet three inches;
wanting but six inches of the height of Goliath of Gath."

Dr. Richardson says, that in about twenty minutes, in an
easterly direction, form the cave of St. John, (which is about
two hours or six miles, in a westerly direction, from
Jerusalem,) they came to the valley of Elah; which position
seems to agree with that of Shochoh and Azekah. He describes
it as "a small valley, and the place of the encampment is
pointed out where it narrows into a broad, deep ravine; part
of it was in crop, and part of it was under the plough, which
was drawn by a couple of oxen. A small stream, which had
shrunk almost under its stony bed, passes through it from east
to west, from which we are informed that David chose out five
smooth stones, and hasted and ran to meet the haughty champion
of Gath. A well of water under the bank, with a few olive
trees above, on the north side of the valley, are said to mark
the spot of the shepherd's triumph over his boasting
antagonist. Saul and his men probably occupied the side of
the valley which is nearest to Jerusalem, on which the ground
is higher and more rugged than on the other side."

Pr 22:29
The preceding twenty verses, from the 12th to the 31st
inclusive, the 41st, and from the 54th to the end of this
chapter, with the five first verses and the 9th, 10th, 11th,
17th, 18th, and 19th, of ch. 18, are all wanting in the
Vatican copy of the LXX.; and they are supposed by Dr.
Kennicott, and others, to be an interpolation. But, as Bp.
Horsley observes, it appears, from many circumstances of the
story, that David's combat with Goliath was many years prior
to Saul's madness, and David's introduction to him as a
musician. In the first place, David was quite a youth when he
engaged with Goliath, (ver. 33, 42:) when introduced to Saul
he was of full age, (ch. 16:18.) Again, this combat was his
first appearance in public life, and his first military
exploit, (ver. 36, 38, 39:) when introduced as a musician, he
was a man of established character, and a man of war (ch.
16:18.) Now the just conclusion is, that the last ten verses
of ch. 16; have been misplaced; their true place being between
the ninth and tenth verses of ch. 18. Let them be removed
there, and the whole apparent disorder will be removed.

Parallel instances of vaunting occur in some writers of a more
recent date:--The conspirators against the emperor Maximinus
having slain him, his son, and several of his best friends,
threw out their bodies to be devoured by dogs and the fowls of
the air. This custom appears to have been frequently
threatened; and, however shocking to human feelings, was often
carried into effect.

* So David prevailed.
The tradition of the combat between David and Goliath, in
which the latter was killed, is preserved among the Arabs; for
he is mentioned in the Koran, where he is called Galut or
Jalut. The Arabs also call the dynasty of the Philistine
kings, who reigned in Palestine when the Hebrews came there,
Galutiah, or Jalutiah. Achmed Al Fassi says, "Those kings
were as well known by the name of Jalaut, as the ancient kings
of Egypt by that of Pharaoh. David killed the Jalaut who
reigned in his time, and entirely rooted out the Philistines,
the rest of whom fled into Africa, and from them descended the
Brebers or Berbers, who inhabit the coast of Barbary." It is
remarkable that the Berbers themselves should acknowledge
their descent from the Philistines. "The name Goliath, which
they pronounce Sghi(856c)ud, is very common among the Brebers, and
the history of the champion of the Philistines is very well
known to the Moors. When children quarrel, and the bigger one
challenges the smaller to fight the latter answers, 'Who will
fight with you? {Enta men ulid Sgi(856c)ud.} You are of the race
of Golaith.' The Jews who dwell among them, on the mountains,
all call them Philistines."

hundred foreskins of the Philistines for Michal's dowry.
28; Saul's hatred and David's glory increase.
* the soul of Jonathan.
The modesty, piety, and courage of David were so congenial to
the character of the amiable Jonathan, that they attracted his
most cordial esteem and affection; so that the most intimate
friendship subsisted between them from that time, and they
loved each other with pure hearts fervently. Their friendship
could not be affected by the common vicissitudes of life; and
it exemplifies by fact what the ancients have written on the
subject; [Ten philian isoteta einai, kai mian psychen ton
philon heteron auton.] "Friendship is an entire sameness, and
one soul: a friend is another self."

verb is in {Hithpa(896c),} the signification of which conjugation
is not only reflex action, but also affectation of the action:
Jer 29:26, 27. The meaning seems to be, that Saul, influenced
by the evil spirit, feigned to be prophesying, the better to
conceal his murderous intentions, and to render David
unsuspicious.

regal authority; and kings had it always in their hand, as may
be seen represented on ancient monuments. In ancient times,
says Justin, kings used a spear instead of a sceptre.

Saul was sensible that the Lord was departed from him; while
he perceived, with evident sorrow of heart, that the Lord had
given David peculiar wisdom, and that he was with him to
prosper all his undertakings. This increased the disquietude
of his malevolent mind, and his dread of David as a prevailing
rival: he therefore removed him from his presence. This
impolitic step, however, served the more to ingratiate David
with the people, by affording him the opportunity of leading
them forth to victory over their enemies.

probable that this is the true reading.

* And Saul.
Saul's enmity now burst forth, in the avowed purpose of
putting David to death; and nothing less than the especial
interposition of Providence could have saved David's life,
when every officer about the king's person, and every
soldier, had positive orders to dispatch him.

Jud 17:5 18:14,17 Ho 3:4

Rather, "the net-work of goat's hair at its (the Teraphim's)
pillow;" for the {kevir,} (whence the Chaldee and Syriac
{kavreetho,} a honey-comb, from its net-like form), seems to
have been a kind of mosquito-net, which, says Dr. Shaw, is "a
close curtain of gauze, used all over the East, by people of
fashion, to keep out the flies." That they had such anciently
cannot be doubted. Thus when Judith had beheaded Holofernes
in his bed, (ch. 13:9, 15) "she pulled down the canopy (or the
mosquito net, [ ,] from [ ,] a gnat, or
mosquito, whence our word canopy) wherein he did lie in his
drunkenness, from the pillars."

The eastern beds consist merely of two thick cotton quilts,
one of which, folded double, serves as a mattress, the other
as a covering. Such seems to have been the bed of David,
which could easily have been carried, with himself in it, to
the presence of Saul.
6 Job 31:31 Ps 37:12 Pr 27:3,4 Ro 3:15
經文：撒母耳記上 19:16-19:16 註釋:
* And when.
It is highly probable that David, when supposed to be sick,
was thought to be hid in the harem or chamber of Michal. "The
harems," says De La Motraye, "are sanctuaries, as sacred and
inviolable, for persons pursed by justice for any crime, debt,
etc., as the Roman Catholic churches in Italy, Spain,
Portugal, etc." Thus we find, that to effect his purpose,
Saul sent messengers to Michal, but they treated her harem
with too much respect to enter it at first; but being
authorised by Saul, they entered even into her chamber; and
during the delay occasioned by respect for the privacy of
Michal, David escaped.

The months of the Hebrews were lunar months, and they reckoned
from one new moon to another: and, as their feasts,
particularly the passover, were reckoned according to this,
they were very scrupulous in observing the first appearance of
each new moon. On these new moons, they offered sacrifices,
and feasted together: but the gathering together of all the
families of a tribe on such occasions seems to have taken
place only once in the year.

This verse is evidently deficient. The LXX. have [kyrios ho

Syraic and Arabic, "The Lord God of Israel is witness;" either
of which makes good sense. But two of Dr. Kennicott's MSS.
supply the word {chai,} "liveth;" and the text reads thus:
"As the Lord God of Israel liveth, when I have sounded my
father,--if there be good unto David, and I then send not unto
thee," etc.; which is a still better sense.

Among the forms of salutation and compliment used in Persia,
one was, "according to my mode of notation in italics, {J(a020)i
sh(a06d)a khali bud pish y(a072)(a06e),} signifying, Thy place or seat was
empty among thy friends. This phrase, or the greater part of
it, was frequently addressed to myself when coming into a
circle of Persian acquaintances, after an absence of several
days or weeks. It reminded me of a passage in the First book
of Samuel, (ch. 20:18.) And thou shalt be missed, because thy
seat will be empty. And again, David's place was empty." Sir

This reflection on the mother of Jonathan, by the passionate
monarch, reflects more dishonour on himself than on his brave
and noble minded son. Mungo Park gives an instance of the
prevalence of the same principles in Africa; for he says,
"Maternal affection is every where conspicuous among the
Africans, and creates a correspondent return of tenderness in
the child. 'Strike me,' said my attendant, 'but do not curse
my mother.' I found the same sentiment to prevail universally
in all parts of Africa." King Saul, unable to villify Jonathan
to his own satisfaction by personal reproaches, outstepped the
ordinary abuse of his day, and proceeded to that which was
designed to produce unusual vexation, and vented the
bitterness of his mind by maligning the character of his own
wife and Jonathan's mother.

The separation of two such faithful friends was equally
grievous to them both, but David's case was the more
deplorable: for when Jonathan was returning to his family and
friends, David was leaving all his comforts, even those of
God's sanctuary, and therefore his grief exceeded Jonathan's;
or, perhaps it was because his temper was more tender and his
passions stronger. They referred each other to the covenant
of friendship that was between them, both of them being
comforted thereby in this very mournful separation:--"We have
sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, for ourselves and
our heirs, that we and they will be faithful and kind to each
other from generation to generation."

The whole of this is a gross falsehood; and which was attended
with the most fatal consequences. It is well known that from
all antiquity it was held no crime to tell a lie in order to
save life. Thus Diphilon [Hypo lambano to pseudas epi sotevea
legomenon, ouden peripoieisthai duscheres.] "I hold it right
to tell a lie for safety: nothing should be avoided to save
life." A heathen may say or sing thus: but no Christian can
act thus and save his soul, though he may save his life.

Gath, five miles from Eleutheropolis, towards Lydda, (and
consequently different from that mentioned by Jerome;) and
also of another Gath, between Jamnia and Antipatris. It
appears to have been the extreme boundary of the Philistine
territory in one direction, as Ekron was on the other, (ch.
7:14; 17:52,) and lay near Mareshah, (2; Ch 11:8. Mic 1:14,)
which agrees pretty well with the position assigned it by
Jerome. But Reland and Dr. Wells agree with Eusebius; and the
authors of the Universal History (b. i. c. 7) place it about
six miles form Jamnia, fourteen south of Joppa, and thirty-two
west of Jerusalem.

In what way David made this enquiry we are not told; but it
was probably by means of Abiathar; and therefore it would
seem, that with Houbigant, we should read the sixth verse
immediately after the first.--This adventure was truly noble
and patriotic. Had not David loved his country, and been
above all motives of private and personal revenge, he would
have rejoiced in this invasion of Judea, as producing a strong
diversion in his favour, and embroiling his inveterate enemy.
In most cases, a man with David's wrongs would have joined
with the enemies of his country, and avenged himself on the
author of his calamities; but he thinks of nothing but
succouring Keilah, and using his power and influence in behalf
of his brethren.

which David now lay, and where was the hill of Hachilah, is to
be understood Ziph near Carmel and Maon.

Hachilah, as stated by Calmet.

Maon, from which the adjoining mountainous district derived
its name, was city in the most southern parts of the tribe of
Judah, and a neighbouring town to Carmel. Hence Nabal (ch.
25:2) is described as a man of Maon, whose possessions were in
Carmel; and though he might dwell generally in Maon, yet he is
styled Nabal the Carmelite, from the place where his estate
lay. Calmet supposes it to be the city Mino(8b73), which Eusebius
places in the vicinity of Gaza; and the Moenoemi Castrum,
which the Theodosian code places near Beersheba.

Because, says the Targum, "the heart of the king was divided
to go hither and thither." Here Saul was obliged to separate
himself from David, in order to go and oppose the invading
Philistines; which deliverance of David was of such a nature
as made the Divine interposition fully visible.

經文：撒母耳記上 23:29-23:29 註釋:
The district around En-gedi, near the western coast of the
Dead Sea, is reported by travellers to be a mountainous
territory, filled with caverns; and consequently, proper for
David in his present circumstances. Dr. Lightfoot thinks this
was the wilderness of Judah, in which David was when he penned
the 63rd Psalm, which breathes as much pious and devout
affection as almost any of his Psalms; for in all places and
in all conditions he still kept up his communion with God.--If
Christians knew their privileges better, and acted up thereto,
there would be less murmuring at the dark dispensations of
Divine Providence.

Caves in the rocks, in which it is still common for shepherds
and their flocks to lodge. Dr. Pococke observes, "Beyond the
valley [of Tekoa,] there is a very large grotto, which the
Arabs call El-Maamah, a hiding place: the high rocks on each
side of the valley are almost perpendicular; and the way to
the grotto is by a terrace formed in the rock, which is very
narrow. There are two entrances into it; we went by the
farthest, which leads by a narrow passage into a very large
grotto, the rock being supported by natural pillars; the top
of it rises in several places like domes; the grotto is
perfectly dry. There is a tradition, that the people of the
country, to the number of 30,000, retired into this grotto, to
avoid a bad air. This place is so strong, that one would
imagine it to be one of the strong holds of En-gedi, to which
David and his men fled from Saul: and possibly it may be that
very cave in which he cut off Saul's skirt; for David and his
men might, with good ease, lie hid there and not be seen by
him." Travels, vol. ii. P. 1. p. 41.

* possessions were. or, business was. Carmel.
Not the famous mount Carmel, in the north of Canaan, and in
the tribe of Asher; but a city, on a mountain of the same
name, in the south of Judah, which seems to have given name to
the surrounding territory. Eusebius and Jerome inform us,
that there was in their time a town called Carmelia, ten miles
east from Hebron, where the Romans kept a garrison, whose
position well agrees with this Carmel.

* shearing.
This was a very ancient custom, and appears to have been
always attended with festivity. The ancient Romans, however,
used to pluck off the wool from the sheep's backs; and hence a
fleece was called {vellus,} a {vellendo,} from plucking it
off. Pliny says, that in his time sheep were not shorn every
where, but in some places the wool was still plucked off.

{Wehoo calibbee,} literally, "and he was a Calebite;" but as
the word {cailev} signifies a dog, the Septuagint has
understood it as implying a man of canine disposition, and
translated it, [kai anthropov kunikos,] "and he was a
doggish man." It is understood in the same way by the Syriac
and Arabic.

In those times, and at the present day, wandering Arabs, under
their several chiefs, think that they have a right to exact
contributions of provisions, etc., wherever they come. But
David, though he lived in the wilderness like the Arab emirs,
had not adopted their manners: one of them, at the head of
600; men, would have demanded, from time to time, some
provision or present from Nabal's servants, for permitting
them to feed at quiet; and would have driven them away from
the watering place upon any dislike. David had done nothing
of this kind; but had protected them against those who would.

The metaphors in this verse are derived from the

their being scattered and lost, and that whatever is put into
a sling is not intended to be preserved, but to be thrown
away.

It is probable that David had heard that Saul, to cut off his
pretensions to the throne, had married Michal to Phalti; and
this justified him in taking Abigail, it not being then
unlawful for a man to have several wives. This conduct of
David's corresponds with the manner in which the Oriental
princes generally form their matrimonial alliances. "The king
of Abyssinia," says Mr. Bruce, "sends an officer to the house
where the lady lives, who announces to her that it is the
king's pleasure she should remove instantly to the palace.
She then dresses herself in the best manner, and immediately
obeys. Thenceforward he assigns her an apartment in the
palace, and gives her a house elsewhere in any part she
chooses."

17:20
The word {ma(8167)al} never signifies a ditch or rampart, but a
chariot or waggon way. Nor does it seem to denote a ring of
carriages, as Buxtorf and others interpret the word; for it is
not probable that Saul would encumber his army with baggage in
so rapid a pursuit, nor that so mountainous a country was
practicable for waggons. It appears simply to mean here, the
circular encampment (from {agal,} "round") which these troops
formed, in the midst of which, as being the place of honour,
Saul reposed. An Arab camp, D'Arvieux informs us, is always
circular, when the disposition of the ground will permit, the
prince being in the middle, and the troops at a respectful
distance around him. Add to which, their lances are fixed
near them in the ground all the day long, ready for action.

24:8 Jud 9:7
David, by retiring to a place of safety before he called to
Abner, seems to have manifested more distrust of Saul than he
had done on a former occasion. Yet he desired that Saul and
all Israel should be informed of his conduct at this time.
Abner and his soldiers, by neglecting to guard Saul when he
slept, had exposed his life, and merited to be treated as his
enemies, though he confided in them as friends; for, although
their sound sleep was undoubtedly supernatural, yet there
might be a neglect of placing sentinels, arising from contempt
of David's small company. Saul also deemed David his enemy,
though he had before spared and protected his life.

{Parosh,} (in Arabic {borghooth,} Syriac, {poorthano,}) the
well known little contemptible and troublesome insect, the
flea, seems to be so called from its agility in leaping and
skipping, from {para,} "free," and {raash,} "to leap, bound."
David, by comparing himself to this insect, seems to import,
that while it would cost Saul much pains to catch him, he
would obtain but very little advantage from it.
* a partridge.
{Korai} certainly denotes the partridge, which is called in
Arabic, {kir(8461).} It seems to be so called from the cry or
{cur} which it utters when calling its young.

Canaan.

* Against.
David here meant the Geshurites, and Gezrites, and Amalekites,
which people occupied that part of the country which lies to
the south of Judah. But Achish, as was intended, understood
him in a different sense, and believed that he had attacked
his own countrymen. David's answer, therefore, though not an
absolute falsehood, was certainly an equivocation intended to
deceive, and therefore incompatible with that sense of truth
and honour which became him as a prince, and a professor of
true religion. From these, and similar passages, we may
observe the strict impartiality of the Sacred Scriptures.
They present us with the most faithful delineation of human
nature; they exhibit the frailties of kings, priests, and
prophets, with equal truth; and examples of vice and frailty,
as well as of piety and virtue, are held up, that we may guard
against the errors to which the best men are exposed.

great town in their days, four miles south from Mount Tabor,
near Nain, towards Scythopolis. This agrees with Maundrell,
who says, that not many miles eastward of Tabor, you see mount
Hermon, at the foot of which is seated Nain and Endor; and
Burckhardt says, that in two hours and a half from Nazareth,
towards Scythopolis or Bisan, they came to the village of
Denouny, near which are the ruins of Endor; where the witch's
grotto is shewn.

which is the reading of five of Dr. Kennicott's and De Rossi's
MSS., as well as both the Bibles printed at Venice in 1518,
where we read {lecha,} "to thee," for {lo,} "to him;" and as
the words are spoken to Saul, this seems to be evidently the
correct reading.

* and to-morrow.
There is considerable diversity of opinion, both among learned
and pious men, relative to this appearance to Saul. But the
most probable opinion seems to be, that Samuel himself did
actually appear to Saul, not by the power of enchantment, but
by the appointment and especial mercy of God, to warn this
infatuated monarch of his approaching end, that he might be
reconciled with his Maker. There is not the smallest
intimation of chicanery or Satanic influence given in the
text; but on the contrary, from the plain and obvious meaning
of the language employed, it is perfectly evident that it was
Samuel himself, {Shemooel hoo,} as it is expressed in ver. 14.
Indeed the very soul of Samuel seems to breathe in his
expressions of displeasure against the disobedience and
wickedness of Saul; while the awful prophetic denunciations
which accordingly came to pass, were such as neither human nor
diabolical wisdom could foresee, and which could only be known
to God himself, and to those to whom he chose to reveal them.

The princes reasoned wisely, according to the common practice
of mankind; and it was well for David that they were such good
politicians: it was ordered by a gracious Providence that
they refused to let David go with them to this battle, in
which he must have been either an enemy to his country, or
false to his friends and to his trust. Had he fought for the
Philistines, he would have fought against God and his country;
and had he in the battle gone over to the Israelites, he would
have deceived and become a traitor to the hospitable Achish.
God therefore delivered him from such disgrace; and by the
same kind Providence he was sent back to rescue his wives, and
the wives and children of his people, from captivity.

Jezreel, or Esdr(916c)on, was a city of Issachar, afterwards
celebrated as the residence of the kings of Israel,
delightfully situated in the extensive and fertile plain of
the same name, which extends from Scythopolis or Bethshan on
the east to mount Carmel on the west. Eusebius and Jerome
inform us, that it was in their time a place of considerable
consequence, lying between Scythopolis on the east and Legio
on the west; and the latter (on Ho 1.) informs us that it was
pretty near Maximianopolis. The Jerusalem Itinerary places it
ten miles west from Scythopolis; and William of Tyre says it
was called Little Gerinum in his time, and that there was a
fine fountain in it, whose waters fell into the Jordan near
Scythopolis. See ver. 1.

This brook or torrent, it is evident from the circumstances of

empty itself into the Mediterranean Sea. In the more
particular situation of it writers are not agreed. Some
suppose it to be between Gaza and Rhinocorura; but Jerome
places it between Rhinocorura and Egypt. It is supposed by
some to be the same as the river of the wilderness, (Am 6:14,)
and the river of Egypt, Jos 15:4.
