Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
removed: 1 Samuel 18:17, 1 Samuel 18:25, 1 Samuel 8:12, 1 Samuel 22:7
he went out: 1 Samuel 18:16, Numbers 27:16, Numbers 27:17, 2 Samuel 5:2, Psalms 121:8, 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 them forth to victory over their enemies.
Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 18:27 - his men 1 Samuel 19:7 - in times past 1 Samuel 22:14 - goeth 1 Chronicles 11:2 - that leddest
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore Saul removed him from him,.... From court, partly that he might be out of his sight, having such an hatred of his person that he could not bear to see him, and partly that he might be safer from any designs of his upon his life, which he might fear, because of his treatment of him:
and made him his captain over a thousand; not out of respect to him, and in honour of him, but partly to cover his malice, and please the people, and partly in hope that he might be slain by the enemy at the head of his troop:
and he went out and came in before the people; or at the head of them, as the Targum; he led them out to war, and returned with them in safety, with victory and in triumph, with great honour, and highly respected by them; quite contrary to the intention and hope of Saul.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 18:13. Made him his captain — This was under pretence of doing him honour, when it was in effect only to rid himself of the object of his envy.
