1 Samuel 19:7

_FOR HE DID PUT HIS LIFE IN HIS HAND, AND SLEW THE PHILISTINE, AND THE LORD WROUGHT A GREAT SALVATION FOR ALL ISRAEL: THOU SAWEST IT, AND DIDST REJOICE: WHEREFORE THEN WILT THOU SIN AGAINST INNOCENT BLOOD, TO SLAY DAVID WITHOUT A CAUSE?_ NO JFB COMMENTARY ON THESE VERSES....

1-10 How forcible are right words! Saul was, for a time, convinced of the unreasonableness of his enmity to David; but he continued his malice against David. So incurable is the hatred of the seed of the serpent against that of the woman; so deceitful and desperately wicked is the heart of man without the grace of God, Jeremiah 17:9....

Verse 1 Samuel 19:7. _HE WAS IN HIS PRESENCE, AS IN TIMES PAST._] By Jonathan's advice he had secreted himself on that day on which he was to have been assassinated: the king having sworn that he should not be slain, David resumes his place in the palace of Saul....

SUCCESSIVE ATTEMPTS UPON DAVID'S LIFE FRUSTRATED BY THE LOVE OF JONATHAN AND MICHAL, AND FINALLY BY FLIGHT (1 Samuel 19:1.). EXPOSITION JONATHAN'S LOVE FOR DAVID (1 Samuel 19:1). 1 SAMUEL 19:1 SAUL SPAKE TO JONATHAN HIS SON...THAT THEY SHOULD KILL DAVID. The translation of the last clause is untenable;

AND JONATHAN CALLED DAVID,.... Out of his lurking place in the field, after Saul was returned home: AND JONATHAN SHOWED HIM ALL THESE THINGS: which had passed between him and his father, and particularly the oath he had made that he should not be slain: AND JONATHAN BROUGHT DAVID TO SAUL: introduced him at court again, and into the presence chamber of Saul; who, in appearance, received him courteously, and a reconciliation was seemingly made: AND HE WAS IN HIS PRESENCE AS IN TIMES PAST; when he was first received at court, and in great esteem both with Saul and his courtiers....

4. SAUL'S RENEWED ATTEMPT AND DAVID'S ESCAPE CHAPTER 19 _ 1. Saul and Jonathan (1 Samuel 19:1)_ 2. Saul's new attempt to kill David (1 Samuel 19:8) 3. David's escape (1 Samuel 19:11) 4. Saul's pursuit and his helplessness (1 Samuel 19:19) The lost King goes from bad to worse. First he tried to spear David; then he attempted to take his life through having him killed by the Philistines, and now he speaks openly to his own son and to all his servants that David must be killed. Therefore loving Jonathan warned David and he hid himself Then Jonathan persuades his father to desist an

1 SAMUEL 19:1 (E). Saul bids Jonathan and his followers slay David, but Jonathan brings about a reconciliation. 1 SAMUEL 19:8 (E). It is uncertain whether 1 Samuel 19:11 is the sequel of 1 Samuel 19:8, or comes from a different source. In any case the whole of 1 Samuel 19:8 probably belongs to the ancient tradition. Saul tries to kill David, but David escapes. Saul has his house watched, but Michal lets him down through the window and he escapes. She deceives Saul's messengers, by placing in the bed a dummy David, con

David's Final Flight from Saul's Court, 1 Samuel 19:1-24. _Jonathan Intercedes for David._ 1 Samuel 19:1-7 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. 2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: _now_ therefore, I pray thee, take heed _to_ thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret _place,_ and hide thyself: 3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou _art,_ and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee. 4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned

ISRAEL’S FIRST KING 1 SAMUEL _HELEN POCOCK_ CHAPTER 19 SAUL TRIES TO KILL DAVID V1 Saul told his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. Jonathan liked David very much. V2 So he warned David, ‘My father Saul is trying to kill you. Be careful tomorrow morning. Hide in a secret place and stay there. V3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are hiding. I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you what I find out’. V4 Jonathan spoke to his father Saul. Jonathan said good things about David. Jonathan said, ‘The king should not do anything that is wrong to his servant David. David has not done anything that is wrong to you. And he has been a grea
