1 Samuel 18:10-11

18:10

evil spirit <07307 07451> [the evil spirit.]

prophesied <05012> [and he prophesied.]

{Wyyithnabbai,} rather, "and he pretended to prophesy; for the verb is in {Hithpa‰l,} 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.

playing <05059> [played.]

spear <02595> [and there was.]

{Wehachanith beyad Sh„ool,} rather, "and the javelin was in the hand of Saul;" for the javelin or spear was the emblem of regal authority; and kings had it always in their hand, as may be seen represented on ancient monuments. In ancient times, says Justin, kings used a spear instead of a sceptre.


18:11

threw ... spear <02904 02595> [cast the javelin.]

David ...... David <01732> [And David.]
