1 Samuel 13:6-7
<06887> [in a strait.]
caves <04631> [in caves.]
Hebrews <05680> [the Hebrews.]
Gad <01410> [Gad.]
him ... terrified <0310 02729> [followed him trembling. Heb. trembled after him.]
1 Samuel 13:15
Samuel <08050> [Samuel.]
The LXX. have, "Samuel arose and went away from Gilgal, and the remainder of the people went up along with the men of war after Samuel from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin." This is probably the true reading; for it does not appear that Samuel went to Gibeah, which was Saul's usual residence; and the Hebrew copyist, as Dr. Wall observes, seems to have missed a line, and added to the sentence concerning Samuel, that which ended the sentence concerning Saul. One MS. instead of Samuel, in the beginning of the sentence, reads Saul.
remained <04672> [present. Heb. found. about six.]
1 Samuel 13:19-23
blacksmith <02796> [there was no.]
It is probable that the Philistines in the former wars had carried away all the smiths from Israel.
charged two-thirds of a shekel <06477> [a file. Heb. a file with mouths. sharpen. Heb. set.]
sword <02719> [there was neither.]
garrison <04673> [garrison. or, standing camp.]
pass <04569> [passage.]
1 Samuel 13:1
[A.M. 2911. B.C. 1093. An. Ex. Is. 398.]
reign ... ruled <04427 01121> [reigned one year. Heb. the son of one year in his reigning.]
This verse is variously interpreted; but probably it only means, according to the Hebrew idiom, that, during the first year nothing remarkable occurred; but after two years, (or in the second year of his reign,) the subsequent events took place.
