7<\/strong>. stayed<\/em> ] Lit. tore<\/strong>, or lashed:<\/strong> a strong expression. Vulg. “confregit viros suos sermonibus.”<\/p>\n Verse 7<\/span>. Suffered them not to rise against Saul.<\/B><\/I>] As he could restrain them, it was his duty to do so; had he connived at their<\/I> killing him, David would have been the murderer<\/I>. In praying for the king we call God the only Ruler of princes<\/I>, for this simple reason, that their authority is the highest<\/I> among men, and next to that of God himself; hence he alone is above them. We find this sentiment well expressed by an elegant poet: – <\/P> Regum timendorum in proprios greges,<\/I><\/P> Reges in ipsos imperium est Jovis.<\/I><\/P> HORACE, Odar<\/I>. lib. iii., Od. i., ver. 5.<\/P> <\/P> Kings are supreme over their own subjects;<\/P> Jove is supreme over kings themselves. <\/P> <\/p>\n Stayed his servants, <\/B>Heb. cut, or clave<\/I>, or divided, or cut them off<\/I>. The word notes both the eagerness and violence of Davids men in prosecuting their desire, and Davids resoluteness in opposing them, as it were, by force; wherein he shows great piety, and generosity, and loyalty to Saul. <\/P> <\/p>\n So David stayed his servants with these words<\/strong>,…. Or pacified them, as the Targum, and made them quiet and easy in that he had not slain him, and reconciled their minds to his conduct, and restrained them from laying hands on him, by observing to them, that he was the anointed of the Lord:<\/p>\n and suffered them not to rise against Saul; to take away his life<\/strong>; he not only argued with them, but laid his commands on them that they should not slay him:<\/p>\n but Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way<\/strong>; he rose from his sleep, and went out of the cave unhurt, and proceeded on in the way he came to the sheepcotes, and which led on further, 1Sa 24:3<\/span>.<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> David stayed his servants <\/strong> Literally, He split them. <\/em> Vulgate: confregit; he broke them to pieces. <\/em> The idea is, that by his words he completely nonplussed them, so as to check their furious desire to make an end of Saul.<\/p>\n 1Sa 24:7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. So David stayed his servants.<\/strong> ] Dispescuit, diffidit:<\/em> He staved them off, when they rose from both sides of the cave to lay violent hands upon Saul; and this was a greater victory, saith Chrysostom, than that he once got over Goliath, because now he overcame himself, and manfully repressed his unruly soldiers with a word in season. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But Saul rose up out of the cave.<\/strong> ] Little thinking how near he had been to a mischief, and how easily he might have died before his time; Ecc 7:17 that is, than when it had been better for him to have done anything than have died. See Ecc 9:12<\/span> .<\/p>\n stayed: Heb. cut off, Psa 7:4, Mat 5:44, Rom 12:17-21 <\/p>\n suffered: 1Sa 25:33 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Sa 25:28 – evil hath 1Sa 26:9 – who can stretch 1Sa 26:23 – I would not Psa 119:87 – but I forsook<\/p>\n 1Sa 24:7-8. And suffered them not to rise against Saul He not only would not do this ill thing himself, but he would not suffer those about him to do it. Thus did he render good for evil to him, from whom he had received evil for good; and was herein both a type of Christ, who saved his persecutors, and an example to all Christians, not to be overcome of evil, but to overcome evil with good. David also went out of the cave, and cried after Saul A bold attempt this, to adventure to come into the presence of such an enraged enemy. But his innocence, and confidence in God, imboldened him, especially having so strong an evidence to give of his integrity.<\/p>\n So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way. 7. stayed ] Lit. tore, or lashed: a strong expression.
