Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:8-17

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—1 Samuel 19:9. “The evil spirit from the Lord (Jehovah).” “While this evil spirit is in 1 Samuel 16:15 and 1 Samuel 18:10 referred to Elohim, the Deity in general Jehovah is here affirmed to be its sender, because Saul’s condition, which was there only ascribed in general to a higher Divine causality in respect to his person, is here regarded as a judgment of the Covenant-God of Israel on the reprobate king who hardens his heart against God.” (Erdmann.)1 Samuel... read more

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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:13

1Sa 19:13 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. Ver. 13. And Michal took an image. ] Either a statue, David’s own statue, or else some superstitious image (the Hebrew is teraphim) which she kept secretly, as Rachel had done, David knowing nothing of it. Some have probably gathered that Michal, though a good wife, yet was no good woman: both because she had an image in the house, and afterward she... read more

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - 1 Samuel 19:13

an image: Heb. teraphim, Genesis 31:19, *marg. Judges 17:5, Judges 18:14, Judges 18:17, Hosea 3:4 a pillow: Rather, "the net-work of goat's hair at its (the Teraphim's) pillow;" for the kevir, (whence the Chaldee and Syriac kavreetho, a honey-comb, from its net-like form), seems to have been a kind of mosquito-net, which, says Dr. Shaw, is "a close curtain of gauze, used all over the East, by people of fashion, to keep out the flies." That they had such anciently cannot be doubted. Thus when... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Samuel 19:13

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.Goats hair — Or, put great goats hair upon his bolster; upon the head and face of the image, which lay upon his bolster, that it might have some kind of resemblance of David's head and hair, at least in a sick man's bed, where there useth to be but a glimmering light.Covered it — Upon pretence of his being sick, and needing some such covering. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:13

13. An image Margin, teraphim. See on Genesis 31:17, and Joshua 24:14. These images were common in Israel, as we may readily infer from the fact that they were tolerated in the house of the pious David. They were a relic of the old Aramaic idolatry. They seem to have been of human form, and were, perhaps, images of deceased ancestors. A pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster A better rendering of the Hebrew is, a texture of goats’ hair at its head, so as to make it resemble the head... read more
