1 Samuele 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 Samuele 19:15 In-Context

13 Poi Mical prese l’idolo domestico e lo pose nel letto; gli mise in capo un cappuccio di pelo di capra, e lo coperse d’un mantello.

14 E quando Saul inviò de’ messi a pigliar Davide, ella disse: "E’ malato".

15 Allora Saul inviò di nuovo i messi perché vedessero Davide, e disse loro: "Portatemelo nel letto, perch’io lo faccia morire".

16 E quando giunsero i messi, ecco che nel letto c’era l’idolo domestico con in capo un cappuccio di pel di capra.

17 E Saul disse a Mical: "Perché mi hai ingannato così e hai dato campo al mio nemico di fuggire?" E Mical rispose a Saul: "E’ lui che mi ha detto: Lasciami andare; altrimenti, t’ammazzo!"
