1 Samuel 19
Spurgeon - He was now worse than ever, or he would not have spoken to others to aid him in a dastardly murder. When God leaves a man, the devil comes to him. Saul is not the first parent that tempted his child to do evil. Rebekah influenced Jacob to deceive Isaac and steal Esau's blessing (Ge 27:6-17). Athaliah counseled king Ahaziah to do wickedly. (2 Chronicles 22:2-4). Herodias instructs her daughter to get the head of John the Baptist. (Matthew 14:8) THOUGHT - What example, model or "template" are you giving your children? TSK - Saul's enmity now burst forth, in the avowed purpose of putting David to death; and nothing less than the especial interposition of Providence could have saved David's life, when every officer about the king's person, and every soldier, had positive orders to dispatch him. But - Praise God for this "but" for at least we know that David has a covenant friend in high places. Jonathan, Saul's son, greatly delighted in David - Jonathan's friendship with godly David was stronger than his loyalty to his ungodly father.
1 Samuel 19
Spurgeon - Thus Jonathan proved himself a real friend. We ought always to be ready to speak up for those who are falsely condemned. 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul vowed, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death." BGT 1 Samuel 19:6 καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαουλ τῆς φωνῆς Ιωναθαν καὶ ὤμοσεν Σαουλ λέγων ζῇ κύριος εἰ ἀποθανεῖται LXE 1 Samuel 19:6 And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, As the Lord lives, he shall not die. KJV 1 Samuel 19:6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain. NET 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul accepted Jonathan's advice and took an oath, "As surely as the LORD lives, he will not be put to death." CSB 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul listened to Jonathan's advice and swore an oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be killed." ESV 1 Samuel 19:6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death." NIV 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death." NLT 1 Samuel 19:6 So Saul listened to Jonathan and vowed, "As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be killed." NRS 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death." NJB 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul was impressed by Jonathan's words. Saul swore, 'As Yahweh lives, I will not kill him.' NAB 1 Samuel 19:6 Saul heeded Jonathan's plea and swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be killed." YLT 1 Samuel 19:6 And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, 'Jehovah liveth -- he doth not die.' vowed: 1Sa 14:39 28:10 Ps 15:4 Pr 26:24,25 Jer 5:2 he shall not: 1Sa 19:10,11 1 Samuel 19 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: Numbers 30:2+ “If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. Deuteronomy 23:21+ “When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the LORD your God will surely require it of you. JONATHAN'S DEFENSE OF DAVID TEMPORARILY EFFECTIVE Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul vowed, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death - One is reminded of Proverbs 15:1 that says "A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger." (cf Pr 16:7) Jonathan's defense seems to have broken through Saul's hard heart so that he even makes a vow to not kill David. Saul is big on making vows, having vowed earlier to kill the man who ate food when they were battling the Philistines, even vowing to kill his own son (1Sa 14:39), a vow the people forced him to break. Given Saul's history with vows we would not be too hopeful that he would keep this one either! Spurgeon - Little however did his oath bind him. He was never in a good frame of mind long together. Envy cannot be quiet. Arthur

Spurgeon - We are safe anywhere while the Lord has work for us to do. Be it ours to live with the harp in our hand, praising God and blessing our fellow-men, and we shall be preserved from the javelins of our foes. Arthur
1 Samuel 19
Spurgeon - We cannot admire Michal’s deceit, nor yet her having idols in her house. She was Saul’s daughter, and came of a bad stock. The Lord, however, overruled her love for David, so that the persecuted one escaped. God will preserve his own. 1 Samuel 19:17 So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal said to Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I put you to death?'" BGT 1 Samuel 19:17 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ τῇ Μελχολ ἵνα τί οὕτως παρελογίσω με καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας τὸν ἐχθρόν μου καὶ διεσώθη καὶ εἶπεν Μελχολ τῷ Σαουλ αὐτὸς εἶπεν ἐξαπόστειλόν με εἰ δὲ μή θανατώσω σε LXE 1 Samuel 19:17 And Saul said to Melchol, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will slay thee. KJV 1 Samuel 19:17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee? NET 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me this way by sending my enemy away? Now he has escaped!" Michal replied to Saul, "He said to me, 'Help me get away or else I will kill you!'" CSB 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul asked Michal, "Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away, and he has escaped!" She answered him, "He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I kill you? '" ESV 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'" NIV 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul said to Michal, "Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?" Michal told him, "He said to me, 'Let me get away. Why should I kill you?'" NLT 1 Samuel 19:17 "Why have you betrayed me like this and let my enemy escape?" Saul demanded of Michal."I had to," Michal replied. "He threatened to kill me if I didn't help him." NRS 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go; why should I kill you?'" NJB 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul then said to Michal, 'Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, and so make his escape?' Michal replied to Saul, 'He said, "Let me go, or I shall kill you!" ' NAB 1 Samuel 19:17 Saul therefore asked Michal: "Why did you play this trick on me? You have helped my enemy to get away!" Michal answered Saul: "He threatened me, 'Let me go or I will kill you.'" YLT 1 Samuel 19:17 And Saul saith unto Michal, 'Why thus hast thou deceived me -- that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?' and Michal saith unto Saul, 'He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?' Why have: 1Sa 22:17 28:12 Mt 2:16 enemy: 1Ki 21:20 Ga 4:16 Michal: 2Sa 17:20 He said: 1Sa 19:14 Ex 1:17-19 why should: 2Sa 2:22 1 Samuel 19 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries MICHAL ANSWERS ACCUSATION WITH A LIE So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" - Michal's deception had indeed allowed David to escape. What is so sad is that Saul (whether under the influence of the evil spirit or just his fallen flesh) has gone from a man who loved David greatly (1Sa 16:21), to a man who now sees him as his adversary.
