That the messengers he had sent, instead of seizing on David, were prophesying of him, or however were attending to services of a different nature than what they were sent upon:<\/p>\n he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise<\/strong>; when they came to the same place:<\/p>\n and Saul sent messengers again a third time, and they prophesied also<\/strong>; joined the rest in singing praises, or foretelling future events.<\/p>\n (21) And they prophesied likewise.<\/strong>Bishop Wordsworth calls attention here to the fact of this portion of Scripture, from 1Sa. 19:18<\/span> to end of the chapter, which relates the illapse of the Spirit on Sauls messengers, and even on Saul himself, the persecutor of David, being appointed by the Church to be read on Whitsun Tuesday (Old Lect.), in order to show the existence and working of the Holy Spirit before the times of the Gospel, and the freedom and power of His Divine agency. (Comp. here Num. 11:26-31<\/span> : the history of Eldad and Medad, which we read on Whitsun Monday, New Lect.)<\/p>\n 21<\/strong>. <\/strong> Sent the third time <\/strong> Here we have a striking exhibition of Saul’s blind infatuation. In the face of signal displays of Divine power frustrating the mission of his messengers, he seems to take no warning, but still insists on invading the sanctity of the prophetic schools to capture David. His action reminds one of Ahaziah, who dispatched successive bands of men to take Elijah, and took no warning, though fire from heaven twice consumed his messengers. 2Ki 1:1-12<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Sa 19:21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.<\/p>\n Ver. 21. And they prophesied also.<\/strong> ] Such sudden changes we read of also in 3Jn 1:7<\/span>3Jn 1:7<\/span>3Jn 1:7<\/span>3Jn 1:7<\/span> :46 . So Augustine was suddenly converted by Ambrose; Latimer by hearing Mr Stafford’s lectures, which he came to scoff at, and Mr Bilney’s confession. a<\/em> Concerning the Christian congregation in Queen Mary’s time, I have heard of one, saith Mr Fox, who being sent to them to take their names and to espy their doings, yet, in being amongst them, was converted, and cried them all mercy. At Miltenberg, a town in the territory of Mentz, an officer was sent to take a certain godly deacon sojourning in a widow’s house. The deacon meeting and embracing him said, Salve mi frater, frater enimvero meus es, Et adsum, transfode me, vel suffoca me:<\/em> Hail, brother; here I am, stab me, hang me, do as thou pleasest to me. The officer, by a sudden innovation of his heart from heaven, said, Sir, I will do you no harm, nor shall any man else, if I can hinder it. And when the rustics came in to help to kill the deacon, the officer kept them off, and would not let them harm him. b<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Act. and Mon., <\/em> fol. 188l. <\/p>\n b<\/em> Scultet., Annal., <\/em> p. 174.<\/p>\n sent messengers: 2Ki 1:9-13, Pro 27:22, Jer 13:23 <\/p>\n prophesied also: Joe 2:28<\/p>\n 1Sa 19:21-23. He sent other messengers Strange obstinacy, to contend so long with the Spirit of God. And they prophesied likewise That is, they joined with the rest in praising God. Instead, says Henry, of seizing David, they were themselves seized. Thus God again secured David, put an honour on the sons and school of the prophets, and manifested his power over the spirits of men. The Spirit of God was upon him also It came upon him in the way; whereas it came not upon his messengers till they came to the place. Hereby God would convince Saul of the vanity of his designs against David, and that in them he fought against God himself.<\/p>\n And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. 21. they prophesied also ] Carried away by the religious excitement they forgot their errand, and joined the chant of the prophets.
