19:1 Jonathan discloses his father's purpose to kill David;
19:4 He persuades his father to reconciliation;
19:8 By reason of David's good success in a new war, Saul's malicious rage breaks out against him;
19:12 Michal deceives her father with an image in David's bed;
19:18 David comes to Samuel in Naioth;
19:20 Saul's messengers sent to take David,
19:22 and Saul himself, prophesy. Verse 1And SaulSaul's enmity now burst forth, in the avowed purpose of putting David to death; and nothing less than the especial interposition of Providence could have saved David's life, when every officer about the king's person, and every soldier, had positive orders to dispatch him. 1 Samuel 18:8, 18:9; Proverbs 27:4; Ecclesiastes 9:3; Jeremiah 9:3; 2 Timothy 3:13ReciprocalGenesis 37:18 - conspired; Psalm 59:3 - they Verse 2delighted1 Samuel 18:1-3; Psalm 16:3; John 15:17-19; 1 John 3:12-14 Jonathan1 Samuel 20:2; Proverbs 17:17; Acts 9:24, 23:16Reciprocal1 Samuel 20:5 - that I may; 20:9 - then would; 20:19 - hide thyself; 2 Samuel 1:26 - thy love; 4:8 - sought Verse 3what I see1 Samuel 20:9, 20:13ReciprocalMatthew 27:23 - Why Verse 4spake good1 Samuel 20:32, 22:14; Proverbs 24:11, 24:12, 31:8, 31:9; Jeremiah 18:20 sin against1 Samuel 2:25; Genesis 9:6, 42:22; 2 Chronicles 6:22; 1 Corinthians 8:12; 1 John 3:15 because his worksPsalm 35:12, 109:4, 109:5; Proverbs 17:13; Jeremiah 18:20ReciprocalPsalm 7:4 - without; 34:21 - they; 38:20 - render; 109:3 - fought; Proverbs 18:24 - that hath; Ecclesiastes 3:7 - and a time to speak; Daniel 6:4 - but; John 10:32 - for; 1 John 3:12 - And Verse 5put his life1 Samuel 28:21; Judges 9:17, 12:3; Psalm 119:109; Acts 20:24; Philippians 2:30 slew1 Samuel 17:49-51 wrought11:13, 14:45, 17:52, 17:53; Exodus 14:13; 1 Chronicles 11:14; Habakkuk 2:3 sin against innocent1 Samuel 20:32; Jeremiah 26:15; Matthew 27:4, 27:24 without a causePsalm 25:3, 69:4; John 15:25Reciprocal1 Samuel 22:14 - And who; 27:6 - Ziklag; 2 Samuel 19:9 - The king; 23:10 - the Lord; 23:16 - the three; 1 Chronicles 11:18 - brake; 11:19 - in jeopardy; Nehemiah 6:11 - Should such; Esther 4:16 - if I perish; Job 13:14 - and put; Psalm 7:4 - without; 34:21 - they; 35:12 - They; 74:12 - working; 109:3 - fought; Proverbs 18:24 - that hath; Ecclesiastes 3:7 - and a time to speak; Daniel 6:4 - but; Acts 7:25 - God; 1 Corinthians 8:12 - when; 1 John 3:12 - And Verse 6sware1 Samuel 14:39, 28:10; Psalm 15:4; Proverbs 26:24, 26:25; Jeremiah 5:2 he shall not1 Samuel 19:10, 19:11Reciprocal19:15 - Bring him; 20:31 - send; 1 Kings 1:29 - As the; Psalm 36:3 - The words; Jeremiah 34:11 - General Verse 7in times pastHeb. yesterday, third day, 1 Samuel 16:21, 18:2, 18:10, 18:13; Genesis 31:2; Exodus 4:10; 1 Chronicles 11:2; Isaiah 30:33 *marg.Reciprocal2 Kings 13:5 - beforetime; Psalm 36:3 - The words Verse 8DavidPsalm 18:32-50, 27:3 himHeb. his face

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 Judith had beheaded Holofernes in his bed - 1 Samuel 13:9, 13:15 "she pulled down the canopy (or the mosquito net, το κωνωπειου, from κωνωψ, a gnat, or mosquito, whence our word canopy) wherein he did lie in his drunkenness, from the pillars.Reciprocal2 Kings 8:15 - that he took a thick cloth Verse 14she saidJoshua 2:5; 2 Samuel 16:17-19, 17:20Reciprocal1 Samuel 19:17 - He said; 19:20 - sent messengers Verse 15Bring himThe eastern beds consist merely of two thick cotton quilts, one of which, folded double, serves as a mattress, the other as a covering.

"The harems," says Deut. Lam. Motraye, "are sanctuaries, as sacred and inviolable, for persons pursed by justice for any crime, debt, etc., as the Roman Catholic churches in Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc." Thus we find, that to effect his purpose, Saul sent messengers to Michal, but they treated her harem with too much respect to enter it at first; but being authorised by Saul, they entered even into her chamber; and during the delay occasioned by respect for the privacy of Michal, David escaped. 1 Samuel 19:16Reciprocal2 Chronicles 18:24 - into an inner chamber; Psalm 59:8 - Thou Verse 17Why hast1 Samuel 22:17, 28:12; Matthew 2:16 mine enemy1 Kings 21:20; Galatians 4:16 And Michal2 Samuel 17:20 He said1 Samuel 19:14; Exodus 1:17-19 why should2 Samuel 2:22ReciprocalJudges 16:7 - If they bind; 1 Samuel 21:2 - The king; Proverbs 16:29 - General Verse 18to Samuel1 Samuel 7:17, 15:34, 28:3; Psalm 116:11; James 5:16ReciprocalPsalm 56:8 - tellest Verse 191 Samuel 22:9, 22:10, 23:19, 26:1; Proverbs 29:12Reciprocal1 Samuel 20:1 - fled; 1 Corinthians 14:32 - General Verse 20sent messengers1 Samuel 19:11, 19:14; John 7:32, 7:45 when they1 Samuel 10:5, 10:6, 10:10; Numbers 11:25, 11:26; Joel 2:28; John 7:32, 7:45, 7:46-52; 1 Corinthians 14:3, 14:24, 14:25ReciprocalNumbers 24:2 - the spirit; 1 Samuel 19:23 - the Spirit; 2 Kings 2:3 - And the sons; 4:38 - the sons; 6:1 - the place; Amos 2:11 - I raised; 1 Corinthians 12:10 - prophecy; 1 Thessalonians 5:20 - General Verse 21sent messengers2 Kings 1:9-13; Proverbs 27:22; Jeremiah 13:23 prophesied alsoJoel 2:28
