1 Samuel 19:24

1Sa 19:24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?

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 reverent respect to his own image in his ministers: so as even they that hate them, do yet honour them.

And lay down. ] Cecidit. The Vulgate hath it cecinit; he fell into a trance or ecstasy, forgetting the cause of his coming thither. "Whilst that I withal escape," singeth David. Psa 141:10

Is Saul also among the prophets? ] This was now spoken in a jeer. What! Is the bloody tyrant so tied up and manacled, in spite of all his malice and madness? It is well surely.
