1 Samuele 19:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 19:22

Then went he also to Ramah
That is, Saul; his messengers not returning to him, when he sent one after another to take David, at length he set out himself from Gibeah to Ramah:

and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu;
which was either the name of a man, the owner of the well, or a place near to which the well was, and is commonly thought to be the same with Shochoh, ( 1 Samuel 17:1 ) ; at such places there was generally a concourse of people at certain times, to fetch water for the inhabitants of the place, and for the watering of flocks and herds, and so a proper place to stop at, and ask the following questions:

and he asked and said, where [are] Samuel and David?
for his messengers not returning to him, he could not be sure where they now were, though he had heard they were at Naioth:

and [one] said, behold, [they be] at Naioth in Ramah;
at the house of doctrine, or school in Ramah, as the Targum; thus one at the well replied, in answer to his question, who had seen them go there, or knew they were there.

1 Samuele 19:22 In-Context

20 E Saulle mandò de’ messi per pigliar Davide, i quali videro una raunanza di profeti che profetizzavano, e Samuele era quivi presente, e presiedeva. E lo Spirito di Dio fu sopra i messi di Saulle, e profetizzarono anch’essi.
21 E ciò essendo rapportato a Saulle, egli vi mandò altri messi; ma profetizzarono anch’essi. E Saulle continuò a mandarvi de’ messi per la terza volta; ma profetizzarono anch’essi.
22 Laonde egli stesso andò in Rama; e, giunto alla gran grotta, ch’è in Secu, domandò, e disse: Ove è Samuele, e Davide? E gli fu detto: Ecco, sono in Naiot, ch’è in Rama.
23 Egli adunque andò là in Naiot, ch’è in Rama; e lo Spirito di Dio fu eziandio sopra lui; talchè, camminando, andava profetizzando, finchè fu arrivato in Naiot, ch’è in Rama.
24 E spogliò anch’egli i suoi vestimenti, e profetizzò anch’egli nella presenza di Samuele, e giacque in terra così spogliato tutto quel giorno, e tutta quella notte. Perciò si disse: È Saulle anch’egli fra i profeti?
