1 Samuel 19:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 19:15

And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David
Not to visit him, or to see how he was, or inquire of his health, in a kind manner, but to see his person, whether he was sick or not, and whether he was there or not; for Saul might suspect some deceit was used, because the messengers took the report of Michal, and saw not David, nor attempted to see him; but now they have strict orders to see him, and not take Michal's word as before, ( 1 Samuel 19:14 ) ; wherefore the supplement again may be left out:

saying, bring him up to me in the bed;
if so bad that he was not able to rise, or not fit to be taken out of his bed, his orders were, that he should be brought to him in it; resolved he was to have him, sick or well:

that I may slay him:
not content that he should die a natural death, or willing to wait for it, he is in haste, being full of wrath and malice, to slay him himself.

1 Samuel 19:15 In-Context

13 Mical tomou uma estátua, deitou-a na cama, pôs-lhe � cabeceira uma pele de cabra, e a cobriu com uma capa.

14 Quando Saul enviou mensageiros para prenderem a Davi, ela disse: Está doente.

15 Tornou Saul a enviá-los, para que vissem a Davi, dizendo-lhes: Trazei-mo na cama, para que eu o mate.

16 Vindo, pois, os mensageiros, eis que estava a estátua na cama, e a pele de cabra � sua cabeceira.

17 Então perguntou Saul a Mical: Por que assim me enganaste, e deixaste o meu inimigo ir e escapar? Respondeu Mical a Saul: Porque ele me disse: Deixa-me ir! Por que hei de matar-te?
