7<\/strong>. answered one another<\/em> ] The women who “played” i.e. danced and gesticulated sang in antiphonal chorus (Exo 15:21<\/span>) the refrain of a popular song, which evidently became widely current, as it was well known even among the Philistines (1Sa 21:11<\/span>, 1Sa 29:5<\/span>).<\/p>\n David his ten thousands<\/em> ] For the Philistine champion was a host in himself. Comp. the people’s words to David: “thou art worth ten thousand of us” (2Sa 18:3<\/span>).<\/p>\n As they played – <\/B>Or danced with vocal and instrumental music (see Jdg 16:25<\/span> note).<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 7<\/span>. Saul hath slain his thousands<\/B><\/I>] As it cannot literally be true that Saul had slain thousands, and David ten thousands; it would be well to translate the passage thus: Saul hath smitten<\/I> or fought against thousands; David against tens of thousands<\/I>. “Though Saul has been victorious in all his<\/I> battles; yet he has not had such great odds<\/I> against him as David has had; Saul, indeed, has been opposed by thousands<\/I>; David, by ten thousands<\/I>.” We may here remark that the Philistines had drawn out their whole forces at this time: and when Goliath was slain, they were totally discomfited by the Israelites, led on chiefly by David.<\/P> <\/p>\n Answered one another; <\/B>singing by parts alternately. <\/P> David his ten thousands; <\/B>so they said, because David killed Goliath, which was the principal cause of all the following slaughter of the Philistines. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the women answered [one another] as they played<\/strong>,…. They sung vocally to their instruments, and that by turns, one rehearsing one line or verse in the song, and then the other another:<\/p>\n and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands<\/strong>; which, if to be referred to the battle in the preceding chapter, as it commonly is, must be understood thus, that though Saul, in pursuit of the Philistines, slew many thousands of them, and David but one, even Goliath; yet the slaying of him was the occasion of slaying ten thousands, and therefore it is ascribed to him: but it seems rather that in some after battles David had been more prosperous and victorious than Saul, and therefore superior commendations are given him by the author of the song the women sung; which, however just it might be to give them, was not wise, since it served to irritate their king, as follows.<\/p>\n (7) Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.<\/strong>These words, which sing of the early glory of David in battle, are quoted again in 1Sa. 29:5<\/span>. They were, no doubt, the favourite refrain of an old national or folk-song.<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands <\/strong> A neat poetic parallelism. The enthusiastic throng intimate, in an exultant hour, that David’s triumph is of more importance than all Saul’s victories.<\/p>\n 1Sa 18:7 And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. Saul hath slain his thousands, &c., <\/strong> ] q.d., <\/em> Saul is to be commended, but David ten times more. This praise of the women given to David flew far and near, 1Sa 21:11<\/span> ; <\/em> 1Sa 29:5 and was the rise of all his following troubles: likeas in the gospel, he whom our Saviour cured, – and in addition charged him to say nothing, – when he divulged the miracle, though of a good intent, caused a persecution by the spiteful Pharisees.<\/p>\n answered: Exo 15:21, Psa 24:7, Psa 24:8 <\/p>\n Saul: 1Sa 21:11, 1Sa 29:5 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jdg 11:34 – his daughter 1Sa 14:49 – name of the firstborn Psa 62:9 – Surely Psa 75:3 – I bear Pro 27:21 – so Jer 31:4 – again Dan 3:12 – certain Mat 27:18 – he<\/p>\n And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 7. answered one another ] The women who “played” i.e. danced and gesticulated sang in antiphonal chorus (Exo 15:21) the refrain of a popular song, which evidently became widely current, as it was well … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Samuel 18:7”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7695\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
