Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:11-17

(11) ¶ Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, tomorrow thou shalt be slain. (12) So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. (13) And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth. (14) And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:13

Image. Hebrew Teraphim. Aquila, "figures." Symmachus, "idols." Some believe that David had idols in his house, as ornaments, or to treat them with ignominy. (Mercer.) --- But others cannot persuade themselves that he would keep such dangerous things. What Michol took, might therefore be some sacred representation, or a statue of some great man. (Genebrard) (Kimchi; Maimonides) Or it might be some piece of wood, or clothes folded up, so as to make the guards believe that David was in bed.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:11-24

11-24 Michal's stratagem to gain time till David got to a distance was allowable, but her falsehood had not even the plea of necessity to excuse it, and manifests that she was not influenced by the same spirit of piety which had dictated Jonathan's language to Saul. In flying to Samuel, David made God his refuge. Samuel, as a prophet, was best able to advise him what to do in this day of distress. He met with little rest or satisfaction in Saul's court, therefore went to seek it in Samuel's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Samuel 19:8-17

Michal Saves David's Life. v. 8. And there was war again, for the Philistines would not remain quiet; and David went out, marched forth to battle, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter, administered a decisive defeat; and they fled from him. v. 9. And the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul; a judgment of the covenant God upon the reprobate king, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand; and David played with his hand, for he had again taken... read more

THIRD SECTIONOpen Deadly Persecution of David by Saul, and David’s Flight from Saul1 Samuel 19-27I. Jonathan proves his friendship for David in Saul’s open attempts on David’s life. David’s first flight from Saul’s murderous attempts, and his escape by Michal’s help1 Samuel 19:1-241And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants that they should 2kill [about killing1] David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David. And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul, my father, seeketh... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:13-24

Saul Checked by the Spirit of God 1 Samuel 19:13-24 David hastened to apprise Samuel of the turn that events were taking, and of his grave suspicions that Saul was attempting on his life. For greater security the prophet led him to a cluster of booths, woven probably of osiers (hence the name Naioth), where a number of young men were being trained for the prophetic office. This gives us an insight into the constructive work in which Samuel was engaged during the later years of his life. They... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 19:1-24

Saul’s enmity toward David grew, while the friendship between Jonathan and David increased. Saul did all in his power to set both Jonathan and the people against David. He even went so far as to charge them to slay David. For a while he was persuaded by Jonathan to cease his unholy persecution of David. However, the underlying enmity quickly broke out again, and this time in a direct attempt on David's life. These were indeed days of bitter testing for the young man anointed to the kingly... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:11-17

Saul Seeks To Have David Arrested With A View To Execution (1 Samuel 19:11-17 ). This incident may well have occurred some time after the previous one. Saul has now determined that David must be got rid of. But the only problem that Saul had was that it had to be done legally. Thus his intention was presumably to bring him before a special court selected from David’s ill-wishers in order to pass sentence on him for treason in that by encouraging the people to exalt him above Saul he was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:1-17

1 Samuel 19:1-Judges : (E). Saul bids Jonathan and his followers slay David, but Jonathan brings about a reconciliation. 1 Samuel 19:8-Esther : (E). It is uncertain whether 1 Samuel 19:11-Esther : is the sequel of 1 Samuel 19:8-2 Samuel :, or comes from a different source. In any case the whole of 1 Samuel 19:8-Esther : probably belongs to the ancient tradition.Saul tries to kill David, but David escapes. Saul has his house watched, but Michal lets him down through the window and he escapes.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 19:13

An image, Heb. teraphim, which was an image made in human shape; which she might keep secretly, either out of a superstitious regard to it, or out of mere curiosity. This stratagem she used, because knowing her father’s unquiet, and jealous, and furious temper, she suspected he might come or send to see whether David was there or no. Put a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster, or, put great goats’ hair upon his bolster, i.e. upon the head and face of the image, which lay upon his bolster, that... read more
