James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:24

IN UNLIKELY COMPANY‘Is Saul also among the prophets?’ 1 Samuel 19:24 We are not told any remarkable points in the character or early discipline of Saul; there were probably none to tell. As we have often had occasion to notice in the earlier Scripture narratives, a man not distinguished from his fellows by any peculiar gifts, merely a specimen of the ordinary human material, may nevertheless be brought most livingly before us; we may be compelled to feel that he is an individual man, one of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:18-24

David Takes Refuge With Samuel At Ramah And When Saul Tries To Take Him He Discovers That YHWH Has Other Means Of Preventing Him From Doing So (1 Samuel 19:18-24 ). Recognising that Saul was seeking his life David turned to the only one with the power to help him, Samuel, the prophet of YHWH, who had earlier anointed him (1 Samuel 16:13), and who was still a power in Israel. Even Saul had to have regard to Samuel. And Samuel took him to live with him and the company of prophets in Naioth in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:18-24

1 Samuel 19:18-Jeremiah : . David at Ramah (R).— Of uncertain origin, probably late. Partly parallel to 1 Samuel 10:10 ff.David takes refuge with Samuel at “ Naioth” in Ramah. “ Naioth” is apparently not a proper name, but if it is not, its meaning is quite unknown. It has been conjectured that it may have been the quarter of the town inhabited by the prophets. The contagious nature of this ecstatic prophecy is shown by the fact that, first Saul’ s messengers, and then Saul himself, are... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 19:24

His clothes, to wit, his military or royal garments; which he did, either that he might suit himself and his habit to the rest of the company; or because his mind being altogether taken up with Divine things, he did not understand or heed what he did. Also: this implies that the messengers which he sent, who probably were military persons, had done so before him. Prophesied before Samuel: this doth not contradict 1 Samuel 15:35, where it is said that Samuel came no more to see Saul; for here... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:20-24

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—1 Samuel 19:20. “Prophets.” “It is to be noted that we have here prophets who in inspired discourse give forth their inner life, filled with the Holy Ghost, not sons of the prophets as in 2 Kings 4:38, etc., who as scholars and learners sit at the feet of their master and teacher. The prophetic community here, therefore, under Samuel as head, is not yet a prophetic school to educate young men for the prophetic calling, but is a prophetic seminary in which, under... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:24

1 Samuel 19:24 We are not told any remarkable points in the character or early discipline of Saul; there were probably none to tell. As we have often had occasion to notice in the earlier Scripture narratives, a man not distinguished from his fellows by any peculiar gifts, merely a specimen of the ordinary human material, may nevertheless be brought most livingly before us; we may be compelled to feel that he is an individual man, one of ourselves, and as such to care for him.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 19:1-24

1 Samuel 19:11 . Saul sent messengers to slay him. The Vulgate, lictors, executioners. They could not approach the bed of a princess till the morning. 1 Samuel 19:13 . Michal took an image, a statue, or a bust, and put it in the bed. Though the Hebrew be teraphim, it cannot be understood of any image used for devotion. David never lifted up his hand to an idol. 1 Samuel 19:19 . Naioth; that is, the house of doctrine. From this name, it is apparent, that Samuel had established here... read more

1 Samuel 19:24And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel.Religious enthusiasm, true and falseThis passage brings before us three very remarkable men--Samuel, and Saul, and David. And this passage speaks to me of religious consolation and religious excitement. Now I ask you to observe that in the case of David there is no record of any agitation or excitement. It would have been little wonderful if he, fleeing for his life, had been overcome with emotion when he found... read more

Ver. 24. And he stripped off his clothes also, ] i.e., His upper garments, or arms, as his messengers had done before. Isa 20:2 Mic 1:8 And prophesied before Samuel. ] The same God which did at first put an awe of man upon the fiercest creatures, hath stamped in the cruellest hearts a... read more
