サムエル記上 19:24 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:18-24

Here is, I. David's place of refuge. Having got away in the night from his own house, he fled not to Bethlehem to his relations, nor to any of the cities of Israel that had caressed and cried him up, to make an interest in them for his own preservation; but he ran straight to Samuel and told him all that Saul had done to him, 1 Sam. 19:18. 1. Because Samuel was the man that had given him assurance of the crown, and his faith in that assurance now beginning to fail, and he being ready to say in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:24

And he stripped off his clothes also ,.... Not all his clothes, but his upper garments, as men in such circumstances used to do, as the prophets sometimes did, and as it seems his messengers had done; according to Jarchi, R. Isaiah, and others F14 Vid. Hieron. Trad. Heb. in lib. Reg. fol. 76. G. , he stripped himself of his royal robes, and put on the habit of the scholars, the disciples, and sons of the prophets: and prophesied before Samuel in like manner , as the messengers had... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 19:24

He stripped off his clothes - Threw off his royal robes or military dress, retaining only his tunic; and continued so all that day and all that night, uniting with the sons of the prophets in prayers, singing praises, and other religious exercises, which were unusual to kings and warriors; and this gave rise to the saying, Is Saul also among the prophets? By bringing both him and his men thus under a Divine influence, God prevented them from injuring the person of David. See the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:18-24

Saintly refuge and spiritual restraint. The facts are— 1 . David takes refuge with Samuel at Naioth in Ramah. 2 . The messengers sent by Saul to take David are restrained in the presence of Samuel and the prophets, and themselves begin to prophesy. 3 . Other messengers come under the same influence. 4 . Venturing to go himself, he, on approaching the place, also falls under the prophetic influence, and is utterly overcome by it in the presence of Samuel. Human wisdom may be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:18-24

Religious consolation and religious excitement. The consolation was tasted by David; the excitement was shown by Saul. I. CONSOLATION . We are not surprised to learn that David, when driven from his house by the deadly malice of the king, betook himself to the prophet Samuel at his residence in Ramah. In reporting the treatment he had received to the venerable prophet, he reported it to God, whose authority was represented by Samuel. The path of his life seemed to be blocked by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:21-24

Saul sends messengers a second and even a third time with the same result, and finally determines to go in person. Having set out, he came to a —more correctly the — great well that is in Sechu —more probably the cistern or tank there. From the value of water it was no doubt a well known spot at the time, but in the present ruined state of the country all such works have perished. Sechu, according to Conder ('Handbook'), was probably on the site of the present ruin of Suweikeh,... read more

Naked - i. e., without his robe and other outer garments, but only the shirt. Compare the marginal references.The whole history affords another instance of the protection of God vouchsafed to His servants, which forms so frequent a topic of the Psalms of David. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 19:24

1 Samuel 19:24. And he stripped off his clothes also His royal robes. Perhaps this was intended to signify the taking away of his kingdom from him; and lay down Hebrew, fell down, upon the earth; for his mind being in an ecstasy, he had not the use of his senses; God so ordering it, that David might have an opportunity to escape; naked That is, stripped of his upper garments, as the word naked is often used; and it is here repeated to signify how long he lay in that posture. Day... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 19:1-24

Jonathan, Michal and Samuel (19:1-24)For a while Jonathan was successful in persuading his father to stop trying to kill David (19:1-7). However, David’s further military successes made Saul jealous again. He made two more attempts on David’s life, first at the palace, then at David’s house. This time another of Saul’s family, Michal, helped David escape (8-17; cf. Psalms 59:0).David found safety with Samuel at Ramah. Three times Saul sent men to arrest David, but each time they were overcome... read more
