Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 16:1-13

The Anointing of David As Prospective King Over Israel. The Spirit Of YHWH Comes Mightily On Him (1 Samuel 16:1-13 ). It is a sad reflection on what Saul’s reign had become that the elders of Bethlehem were apprehensive at the thought of the arrival of Samuel. This suggests that there were murmurings among the people at this time against Saul’s behaviour, with a good deal of political support being thrown behind Samuel, so much so that the elders did not know quite what Samuel’s intentions... read more

1 Samuel 16:1-1 Chronicles : . Samuel Anoints David (E 2 ) or (R).— A better division would be in the middle of 1 Samuel 15:35, so as to begin the new section with “ And Yahweh repented. etc.” Many authorities regard this section as a late, possibly post-exilic, addition; but it seems the natural sequel to the preceding chapter, and may probably be referred to the same document.By the direction of Yahweh Samuel goes to Bethlehem, ostensibly to sacrifice, but really to anoint a son of Jesse to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 16:11

He keepeth the sheep; and consequently is the most unfit of all my sons for that high employment. Either therefore he did not thoroughly understand David’s great wisdom and valour, or he judgeth him unfit, by reason of his mean education. And God so ordered it by his providence, that David’s choice might plainly appear to be God’s work, and not Samuel’s or Jesse’s design. We will not sit down, to wit, to the feast. Quest. How could David be admitted to this feast, being, as it seems, not... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 16:1-23

Chapter 16So God said to Samuel, How long are you gonna mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being the king, or reigning over Israel? [This change of attitude, "I've rejected him, now how long are you gonna mourn?"] fill your horn with oil, and go, and I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided a king from among his sons. And Samuel said, Lord if Saul hears I've gone down to anoint someone else to be king, he'll kill me ( 1 Samuel 16:1-2 ).Now that shows you how... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 16:1-23

1 Samuel 16:7 . The Lord said to Samuel. A cloud of proofs demonstrate, that the Eternal Word did personally accompany the holy prophets, and talk with them by voice in open vision. What nation had God so nigh unto them? 1 Samuel 16:13 . Anointed him. David certainly knew that this was the regal unction, and he felt the Spirit accompany it. But critics agree that his brethren did not then so understand it. 1 Samuel 16:15 . An evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. Afterwards, the... read more

1 Samuel 16:4-18And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem.Samuel’s visit to Bethlehem1. How much history is entwined around one locality! The very name of a village recalls events most momentous to the world, and fills our minds with the memories of the past. “Man is a materialist, and he tries to give a material magnitude to memorable places; but God chooses any common spot for the cradle of a mighty incident, or the home of a mighty spirit.” “Twenty years ago,” says the... read more

1 Samuel 16:10-13Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel.How God’s election worksOur subject is the choosing of a king from among the sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite. This narrative shows how the choosing was done. I have a situation to offer. There is no doubt about the offer or about the gift; the only doubt lies with yourself, as of old the difficulty lay among the sons of Jesse. For what is the office of the preacher, but always to be on the errand on which Samuel went, to that... read more

1 Samuel 16:11Send and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither.Taken from the sheepcotesThe story of David opens with a dramatic contrast between the fresh hope of his young life and the rejection of the self-willed king Saul, whose course was rapidly descending towards the fatal field of Gilboa. No bad man drifts down the rapids unwarned, unwept; but the Divine purpose cannot stay till such pitying tears are dried. Nor must we cling to the grave of the dead past, whence the... read more
