Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 18:17-30

Saul’s indirect attempts to kill David 18:17-30Since he had been unsuccessful in murdering David himself, Saul also tried to get other people to kill him (cf. 2 Samuel 11:15). Saul had promised his daughter in marriage to Goliath’s victor (1 Samuel 17:25). In spite of this, Saul now added the condition that David also had to fight more battles for his king. David, on the other hand, did not aspire to marry the king’s daughter even though such a marriage would have advanced his career greatly (1... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 18:1-30

The Love of Jonathan for David1 Samuel 18:6-30 of this chapter seem to be connected with 1 Samuel 16:14-23 and not to be taken from the same document as 1 Samuel 17:1 to 1 Samuel 18:5. LXX omits a large part of this section and only retains 1 Samuel 18:6-8; 1 Samuel 12; 1 Samuel 13-16, 20-21; 1 Samuel 22-26; 1 Samuel 27-29 a. In this case the LXX text gives an easy and straight forward account, and many suppose that it is the original. But the character of the LXX omissions in 1 Samuel 17... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Samuel 18:30

(30) Went forth.—Probably to avenge the last raid of David (recounted in 1 Samuel 18:27). Wordsworth, quoting from the Rabbis, suggests that they were emboldened to make this attack, supposing that their successful foe would, according to the Hebrew Law, claim exemption from warfare for a year after marriage (Deuteronomy 24:5). read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 18:1-30

CHAPTER XXV.SAUL’S JEALOUS-DAVID’S MARRIAGE.1 Samuel 18:1-30.THE conqueror of Goliath had been promised, as his reward, the eldest daughter of the king in marriage. The fulfillment of that promise, if not utterly neglected, was at least delayed; but if David lost the hand of the king’s daughter, he gained, what could not have been promised - the heart of the king’s son. It was little wonder that ’’the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul."... read more

3. Jonathan and David--Saul’s jealousy CHAPTER 18 1. Jonathan’s love for David (1 Samuel 18:1-4 ) 2. The beginning of Saul’s jealousy (1 Samuel 18:5-16 ) 3. David’s marriage (1 Samuel 18:17-30 ) A beautiful scene opens this chapter. Jonathan, the man of faith, loves David. He was about 40 years old and David about 17. Jonathan made a covenant with David and loved him as his own soul. He showed also his great devotion by giving to David, his robe, his garments, his sword, his bow and his... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Samuel 18:30

18:30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, [that] {o} David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.(o) That is, David had better success against the Philistines than Saul’s men. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 18:1-30

Jonathan, the son of Saul stands in refreshing contrast to his father. He was present when David returned to Saul. Doubtless David's victory had attracted Jonathan, but David's words decide him. When he had heard David he was drawn to love him as his own soul. How good it is if the work and the words of the Lord Jesus have such an effect on our own hearts! His WORK and His WORDS should always draw our attention to the beauty of His PERSON. Verse 2 shows that Saul was evidently glad to employ... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 18:5-30

DAVID AND JONATHAN JEALOUSY AND FEAR (1 Samuel 18:0 ) Jonathan’s love for David is put to a serious test, but is found genuine. On the homeward march from the victory over the Philistines, the women of Israel, following oriental custom, met the warriors and accompanied them along the road, singing and dancing. But their joy outran their judgment, so that they praised David more than their king. A better man than Saul could scarcely have resisted the temptation to envy, sinful as it was (1... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Samuel 18:12-30

1Sa 18:12-30 SAUL was afraid of David. This is most remarkable, for was not Saul the king, and David but the servant? Why then should a king be afraid of a harper? The king had the resources of the nation at his command. In a moment he could have surrounded David by an overpowering force; yet, notwithstanding these advantages, Saul was afraid of the young musician. There must be some explanation of this remarkable fear. What is it? It is the mystery of spiritual character, and that in very deed... read more

(20) And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. (21) And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain. (22) And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's... read more
