사무엘상 22:16-19 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:6-19

We have seen the progress of David's troubles; now here we have the progress of Saul's wickedness. He seems to have laid aside the thoughts of all other business and to have devoted himself wholly to the pursuit of David. He heard at length, by the common fame of the country, that David was discovered (that is, that he appeared publicly and enlisted men into his service); and hereupon he called all his servants about him, and sat down under a tree, or grove, in the high place at Gibeah, with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:16

And the king said, thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech ,.... He pronounces the sentence himself, without taking the opinion and advice of others, or further time; which was an act of arbitrary power, and upon an innocent person, which was an act of great injustice: thou, and all thy father's house ; more unrighteous still; but God suffered him to do this to fulfil his will, and execute his threatenings against the house of Eli, which was this priest's father's house, for former wickedness;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:17

And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him ,.... Or the "runners" F6 לרצים "cursoribus", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; the running footmen, that used to run before him when he went out from place to place, and were here waiting on him, ready to set out whenever he should give the orders to go elsewhere. The tradition of the Jews is, that these were Abner and Amasa F7 Midrash Tillim apud Abarbinel. in loc. ; but, as Kimchi observes, they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:18

And the king said to Doeg, turn thou and fall upon the priests ,.... For determined he was they should die; if one would not put them to death, another should, and who so fit for this bloody work as the false accuser of them, and false witness against them? and Doeg the Edomite turned ; immediately, he at once obeyed the king's orders, as brutish as they were: and fell upon the priests ; with his sword in hand: and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:19

And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword ,.... Either Doeg or Saul; who, as Josephus F9 Antiqu. l. 6. c. 12. sect. 6. says, sent men thither to slay all the inhabitants of it: both men and women, children and sucklings ; not sparing sex nor age: and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword ; Saul, who was so tender hearted and merciful in the case of the Amalekites, when his orders from the Lord were utterly to destroy them, 1 Samuel... read more

But the servants of the king would not - They dared to disobey the commands of the king in a case of such injustice, inhumanity, and irreligion. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 22:18

And Doeg - fell upon the priests - A ruthless Edomite, capable of any species of iniquity. Fourscore and five persons - The Septuagint read τριακοσιους και πεντε ανδρας , three hundred and five men; and Josephus has three hundred and eighty-five men. Probably the eighty-five were priests; the three hundred, the families of the priests; three hundred and eighty-five being the whole population of Nob. That did wear a linen ephod - That is, persons who did... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 22:19

And Nob - smote he with the edge of the sword - This is one of the worst acts in the life of Saul; his malice was implacable, and his wrath was cruel, and there is no motive of justice or policy by which such a barbarous act can be justified. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:6-16

Resistance to God's purposes. The facts are— 1 . Saul, hearing at Gibeah of David's movements, makes an appeal to his Benjamite attendants. 2 . He insinuates the existence of secret designs against himself, connivance at David's supposed purpose, and lack of pity for his condition. 3 . Thereupon Doeg the Edomite relates what he saw at Nob, and makes the statement that the high priest inquired of the Lord for David. 4 . Saul sends for Ahimelech and charges him with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:14-16

Ahimelech's answers are those of an innocent man who had supposed that what he did was a matter of course. But his enumeration of David's privileges of rank and station probably only embittered the king. In his eyes David was of all Saul s officers the most faithful , both trusty and trusted (see on 1 Samuel 2:35 ). He was, moreover, the king's son-in-law ; but the next words, he goeth at thy bidding , more probably mean, "has admission to thy audience," i.e. is thy privy councillor,... read more
