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 Mical tomó un ídolo y lo puso en la cama con un tejido de pelo de cabra en la cabeza, y lo cubrió con una sábana.

14 Cuando Saúl mandó a los hombres para apresar a David, Mical les dijo: «Está enfermo».

15 Pero Saúl los mandó de nuevo a buscar a David: «Aunque esté en cama, ¡tráiganmelo aquí para matarlo!»

16 Al entrar en la casa, los hombres vieron que lo que estaba en la cama era un ídolo, con un tejido de pelo de cabra en la cabeza.

17 Entonces Saúl le reclamó a Mical:—¿Por qué me has engañado así? ¿Por qué dejaste escapar a mi enemigo?Ella respondió:—Él me amenazó con matarme si no lo dejaba escapar.
