1 Samuel 28:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 28:23

But he refused, and said, I will not eat
Choosing rather to die with famine than by the sword of the Philistines; though perhaps his meaning is, he could not eat, his stomach loathed it, being overwhelmed with grief and trouble:

but his servants, together with the woman, compelled him;
not by force, but by arguments; they reasoned with him, and prevailed upon him to try to eat:

and he hearkened unto their voice;
and agreed to eat, if he could;

so he arose from the earth;
on which he lay at his full length:

and sat upon the bed;
or couch, it being now the custom to recline on couches at caring; though some deny that this custom obtained so early.

1 Samuel 28:23 In-Context

21 Então a mulher se aproximou de Saul e, vendo que estava tão perturbado, disse-lhe: Eis que a tua serva deu ouvidos � tua voz; pus a minha vida na minha mão, dando ouvidos �s palavras que disseste.
22 Agora, pois, ouve também tu as palavras da tua serva, e permite que eu ponha um bocado de pão diante de ti; come, para que tenhas forças quando te puseres a caminho.
23 Ele, porém, recusou, dizendo: Não comerei. Mas os seus servos e a mulher o constrangeram, e ele deu ouvidos � sua voz; e levantando-se do chão, sentou-se na cama.
24 Ora, a mulher tinha em casa um bezerro cevado; apressou-se, pois, e o degolou; tambem tomou farinha, e a amassou, e a cozeu em bolos ázimos.
25 Então pôs tudo diante de Saul e de seus servos; e eles comeram. Depois levantaram-se e partiram naquela mesma noite.
