1 Samuel 31:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 31:3

And the battle went sore against Saul
Pressed heavy upon him; he was the butt of the Philistines, they aimed at his person and life:

and the archers hit him;
or "found him" F1; the place where was, and directed their arrows at him:

and he was sore wounded of the archers;
or rather "he was afraid" of them, as the Targum, for as yet he was not wounded; and so the Syriac and Arabic versions render it, and is the sense Kimchi and Ben Melech give of the word: he was not afraid of death, as Abarbinel observes, he chose to die; but he was afraid he should be hit by the archers in such a way that he should not die immediately, and should be taken alive and ill used; the Philistines, especially the Cherethites, were famous for archery; (See Gill on Zephaniah 2:5).

1 Samuel 31:3 In-Context

1 Muerte de Sa煤l
Ahora bien, los filisteos atacaron a Israel, y los hombres de Israel huyeron ante ellos. Mataron a muchos en las laderas del monte Gilboa.
2 Los filisteos cercaron a Sa煤l y a sus hijos, y mataron a tres de ellos: Jonat谩n, Abinadab y Malquis煤a.
3 La batalla se intensific贸 cerca de Sa煤l, y los arqueros filisteos lo alcanzaron y lo hirieron gravemente.
4 Con gemidos, Sa煤l le dijo a su escudero: 芦Toma tu espada y m谩tame antes de que estos filisteos paganos lleguen para atravesarme, burlarse de m铆 y torturarme禄.
Pero su escudero ten铆a miedo y no quiso hacerlo. Entonces Sa煤l tom贸 su propia espada y se ech贸 sobre ella.
5 Cuando su escudero vio que Sa煤l estaba muerto, se ech贸 sobre su propia espada y muri贸 junto al rey.
