Wesley: 1Sa 14:44 - -- We have no proof, that Saul did not act in this whole affair from a real fear of God.

We have no proof, that Saul did not act in this whole affair from a real fear of God.

Clarke: 1Sa 14:44 - -- And Saul answered - thou shalt surely die, Jonathan - To save thy rash oath! So must John Baptist’ s head be taken off at the desire of an impu...

And Saul answered - thou shalt surely die, Jonathan - To save thy rash oath! So must John Baptist’ s head be taken off at the desire of an impure woman, because a Herod had sworn to give her whatever she might request! Unfeeling brute! However, the king was Judge. But what said the people, who were the Jury?

TSK: 1Sa 14:44 - -- God : 1Sa 25:22; Rth 1:17; 2Sa 3:9, 2Sa 19:13 thou shalt : 1Sa 14:39; Gen 38:24; 2Sa 12:5, 2Sa 12:31; Pro 25:16

From this and other like expressions of Saul’ s, some gather that he was exceeding prone to the vice of swearing and cursing.

Thou shalt surely die: strange perverseness! He who was so indulgent as to spare wicked Agag, 1Sa 15 , is now so severe as to destroy his own worthy son: he that could easily dispense with God’ s righteous and reasonable command, will not bear the violation of his own rash and foolish command; because his own authority and power is concerned in this, and only God’ s in the other.

Haydock: 1Sa 14:44 - -- Die. We may here admire the respect which the ancients had for an oath, without seeking for any modification; and the blindness of Saul, who condemn...

Die. We may here admire the respect which the ancients had for an oath, without seeking for any modification; and the blindness of Saul, who condemns his son with as much haste as he had pronounced the curse, thinking thus to honour God. The thing surely required some deliberation, and he ought to have consulted the Lord about it. The action of Jonathan was not criminal, and the former silence of God did not prove that he deserved death. (Calmet) ---

If it had, the people would never have been able to have rescued him, no more than the unhappy Achan, Josue vii. (Haydock) ---

If Saul had been more enlightened, and more humble, he would have concluded that God was displeased at him, and not at Jonathan. (Calmet) ---

Yet Cajetan and Serarius find fault with the latter. (Menochius)

Gill: 1Sa 14:44 - -- And Saul answered, God do so and more also,.... A form of an oath imprecating evils upon him more and greater than he chose to mention, see the like f...

And Saul answered, God do so and more also,.... A form of an oath imprecating evils upon him more and greater than he chose to mention, see the like form in Rth 1:17, though Abarbinel thinks this is not the form of an oath, but an asseveration of a curse that would befall him; as that God would not answer him when he inquired of him, and that he would add to do so again and again, if he died not:

for thou shall surely die, Jonathan; such words from a father must be very striking to a son, and argue a want of paternal affection in Saul, that could call his son by his name, and deliver such a speech unto him in so strong a manner.
