2 Samuel 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:6

And the young man that told him
So it seems he was, and therefore could not be Doeg, more likely his son of the two; but there is no reason to believe he was either of them, who cannot be thought to be well disposed to David:

said, as I happened by chance upon Mount Gilboa;
who was either a traveller that came that way just as the army was routed, and part had fled to Gilboa; or if a soldier, was not one of those that attended Saul, and was of his bodyguard, but happened on the flight to come to the same spot on Gilboa where Saul was:

behold, Saul leaned upon his spear;
that that might pierce him through and die; but this seems not true, for he fell upon his sword for that purpose, ( 1 Samuel 31:4 ) ;

and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him;
the charioteers and cavalry, of which part of the Philistine army consisted; though this also does not agree with the account in the above place; for according to that they were the archers that pressed him hard, and hit him.

2 Samuel 1:6 In-Context

4 —¿Qué sucedió? —preguntó David—. Cuéntame lo que pasó en la batalla.
—Todo nuestro ejército huyó de la batalla —le contó—. Murieron muchos hombres. Saúl y su hijo Jonatán también están muertos.

5 —¿Cómo sabes que Saúl y Jonatán están muertos? —le insistió David al joven.

6 El hombre respondió:
—Sucedió que yo estaba en el monte Gilboa, y allí estaba Saúl apoyado en su lanza mientras se acercaban los enemigos en sus carros de guerra.

7 Cuando se dio vuelta y me vio, me gritó que me acercara a él. “¿Qué quiere que haga?”, le pregunté

8 y él me contestó: “¿Quién eres?”. Le respondí: “Soy un amalecita”.
