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 Luego ella tomó un ídolo
y lo puso en la cama de su esposo, lo cubrió con mantas y puso un cojín de pelo de cabra sobre la cabeza.

14 Cuando las tropas llegaron para arrestar a David, ella les dijo que estaba enfermo y que no podía levantarse de la cama.

15 Pero Saúl envió a las tropas de nuevo para prender a David y les ordenó: «¡Tráiganmelo con cama y todo para que lo mate!».

16 Pero cuando llegaron para llevarse a David, descubrieron que lo que estaba en la cama era solo un ídolo con un cojín de pelo de cabra en la cabeza.

17 —¿Por qué me traicionaste así y dejaste escapar a mi enemigo? —le reprochó Saúl a Mical.
—Tuve que hacerlo —contestó ella—. Me amenazó con matarme si no lo ayudaba.
