- The preceding twenty verses, from the 12th to the 31st
- inclusive, the 41st, and from the 54th to the end of this
- chapter, with the five first verses and the 9th, 10th, 11th,
- 17th, 18th, and 19th, of ch. 18, are all wanting in the
- Vatican copy of the LXX.; and they are supposed by Dr.
- Kennicott, and others, to be an interpolation. But, as Bp.
- Horsley observes, it appears, from many circumstances of the
- story, that David's combat with Goliath was many years prior
- to Saul's madness, and David's introduction to him as a
- musician. In the first place, David was quite a youth when he
- engaged with Goliath, (ver. 33, 42:) when introduced to Saul
- he was of full age, (ch. 16:18.) Again, this combat was his
- first appearance in public life, and his first military
- exploit, (ver. 36, 38, 39:) when introduced as a musician, he
- was a man of established character, and a man of war (ch.
- 16:18.) Now the just conclusion is, that the last ten verses
- of ch. 16 have been misplaced; their true place being between
- the ninth and tenth verses of ch. 18. Let them be removed
- there, and the whole apparent disorder will be removed.

- Parallel instances of vaunting occur in some writers of a more

- The tradition of the combat between David and Goliath, in
- which the latter was killed, is preserved among the Arabs; for
- he is mentioned in the Koran, where he is called Galut or
- Jalut. The Arabs also call the dynasty of the Philistine
- kings, who reigned in Palestine when the Hebrews came there,
- Galutiah, or Jalutiah. Achmed Al Fassi says, "Those kings
- were as well known by the name of Jalaut, as the ancient kings
- of Egypt by that of Pharaoh. David killed the Jalaut who
- reigned in his time, and entirely rooted out the Philistines,
- the rest of whom fled into Africa, and from them descended the
- Brebers or Berbers, who inhabit the coast of Barbary." It is
- remarkable that the Berbers themselves should acknowledge
- their descent from the Philistines. "The name Goliath, which
- they pronounce Sghiàlud, is very common among the Brebers, and
- the history of the champion of the Philistines is very well
- known to the Moors. When children quarrel, and the bigger one
- challenges the smaller to fight the latter answers, 'Who will
- fight with you? {Enta men ulid Sgiàlud.} You are of the race
- of Golaith.' The Jews who dwell among them, on the mountains,
- all call them Philistines."

- 1 Jonathan loves David.
- 5 Saul envies his praise;
- 10 seeks to kill him in his fury;
- 12 fears him for his good success;
- 17 offers him his daughters for a snare.
- 23 David persuaded to be the king's son-in-law, gives two
- hundred foreskins of the Philistines for Michal's dowry.
- 28 Saul's hatred and David's glory increase.
-
- * the soul of Jonathan.
- The modesty, piety, and courage of David were so congenial to
- the character of the amiable Jonathan, that they attracted his
- most cordial esteem and affection; so that the most intimate
- friendship subsisted between them from that time, and they
- loved each other with pure hearts fervently. Their friendship
- could not be affected by the common vicissitudes of life; and
- it exemplifies by fact what the ancients have written on the
- subject; [Ten philian isoteta einai, kai mian psychen ton
- philon heteron auton.] "Friendship is an entire sameness, and
- one soul: a friend is another self."

- {Wyyithnabbai,} rather, "and he pretended to prophesy; for the
- verb is in {Hithpaël,} the signification of which conjugation
- is not only reflex action, but also affectation of the action:
- Jer 29:26, 27. The meaning seems to be, that Saul, influenced
- by the evil spirit, feigned to be prophesying, the better to
- conceal his murderous intentions, and to render David
- unsuspicious.

- Saul was sensible that the Lord was departed from him; while
- he perceived, with evident sorrow of heart, that the Lord had
- given David peculiar wisdom, and that he was with him to
- prosper all his undertakings. This increased the disquietude
- of his malevolent mind, and his dread of David as a prevailing
- rival: he therefore removed him from his presence. This
- impolitic step, however, served the more to ingratiate David
- with the people, by affording him the opportunity of leading
