Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
David went ... - "Was gone," referring to Sa1 16:19-20. Had he been Saul's armour-bearer at this time it is highly improbable that he would have left him to feed sheep. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Went - From Saul's court: where having relieved Saul, he was permitted to go to his father's house, to be sent for again upon occasion. |
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
