Verse 18

I have seen a son of Jesse - Dr. Warburton supposes the story is anticipated from 1 Samuel 16:14-23 , and that the true chronology of this part of David's life is the following: -

  1. David is anointed by Samuel;
  • Carries provisions to his brethren in the army;
  • Fights with and kills Goliath;
  • Is received into the king's court,
  • Contracts a friendship with Jonathan;
  • Incurs Saul's jealousy;
  • Retires to his father's house;
  • Is after some time sent for by Saul to sooth his melancholy with his harp;
  • Again excites Saul's jealousy, who endeavors to smite him with his javelin.
  • This anticipation between the 14th and 23d verse comes in, in the order of time, between 1 Samuel 16:9 ; and 1 Samuel 16:10 , 1 Samuel 18:9 , 1 Samuel 18:10 , where the breach is apparent.
