撒母耳記上 14:51 RCUVTS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 14:1-52

Here we have a picture of Saul, with a part of the army about him, remaining idle in Gibeah. His son Jonathan moved to action by his sense of the degradation of his people, and his conviction of the strength of Jehovah, made a remarkable attack on the foe, which issued first in the slaughter of twenty men. This sudden onrush on the Philistines in so unexpected a way produced panic throughout all their hosts. As a result of this, Saul and the rest of the people who had been in hiding went forth... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 14:47-52

A Summary Of Saul’s Earlier Reign And Its Successes And Of His Close Family (1 Samuel 14:47-52 ). Having demonstrated both Saul’s partial success, mainly through the faith of Jonathan, and his partial failure as a result of his own distorted religious ideas, the writer looks back and summarises his reign from when he took over the kingship. It will be noted that he could not have said what he did about the Philistines, firstly of Israel’s subjection to them, and then of their triumph over... read more

Further Details About Saul And His Leading General Who Was Related To Him (1 Samuel 14:49-52 ). Saul’s ancestry was given in 1 Samuel 9:1. Now we are given his family details, after which we are also given the details of his commander in chief’s family, partly because they were related to Saul, and partly because of Abner’s loyal support, both in Saul’s own battles, and as preparing the way for what Abner would later seek to do for Saul’s son, Ishbaal (Ishbosheth). See 2 Samuel 2:8 ff. 1... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 14:47-51

1 Samuel 14:47-Colossians : . In this section the editor gives a concluding summary concerning Saul as king, before narrating his deposition in the next chapter. In the editor’ s eyes, Saul ceased to be king de jure, when Samuel anointed David to supersede him. But, according to the older documents, David himself did not take this view ( 1 Samuel 24:6, 1 Samuel 26:11). Saul fought successfully against a number of the neighbouring tribes: Moab; Ammon; Edom; Zobah, a Syrian state to the NE. of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:47-52

1 Samuel 14:47. “So Saul took the kingdom.” “As Saul had first of all secured a recognition of himself as king on the part of all the tribes of Israel by his victories over the Ammonites at Jabesh (1 Samuel 11:12), so it was through the victory which he had gained over the Philistines, and by which these obstinate foes of Israel were driven back into their own land, that he first acquired the kingship over Israel, i.e., first really secured the regal authority over the Israelites.… The war... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:1-52

1 Samuel 14:0 These were evil days for the people of Israel. But it was in these dark days that Jonathan shone so famous. It is yet true that difficulties prove our mettle, and that the greater the hardship or peril, the more is the victory worth telling. We learn from this chapter I. That the presence of the enemy should rouse our courage. Jonathan could not allow the Philistines to be even at Michmash, strong as it was, without ever striking a blow. Is there not need for more chivalry among... read more

Chapter 14Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bear his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison on the other side. But he did not tell his father. And Saul tarried in the uttermost parts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men; And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas ( 1 Samuel 14:1-3 ),And so forth, it gives these... read more

1 Samuel 14:24-52And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people.Great issues hang on a King’s rash wordOne little sentence, spoken in a moment of passion by King Henry the Second, brought a lifetime of remorse and penance and humiliation, and made him responsible for a murder which his calmer soul abhorred. He had been hearing of repetitions of troubles brought about by his great Chancellor, a Becket, and in a moment of exasperated temper exclaimed, “Of the... read more
