1 Samuel 31:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 31:9

And they cut off his head
And fastened it in the temple of Dagon, ( 1 Chronicles 10:10 ) ; perhaps that which was at Ashdod, one of the principalities of the Philistines, ( 1 Samuel 5:1 1 Samuel 5:2 ) ;

and stripped off his armour;
or vessels F8, his clothes as well as his armour, and what he had about him; as for his crown on his head, and the bracelet on his arm, the Amalekite took them before the Philistines came, ( 2 Samuel 1:10 ) ;

and sent into the land of the Philistines round about:
not his head and his armour, for they were placed in the temple of their idols; unless we can suppose these were first carried about for show, and as proofs of the victory: but rather messengers, who were sent express with the news,

to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people;
that so they might be glad and rejoice, and give praise to their idols, to whom they ascribed the success they had.

8 Et, le lendemain, les Philistins vinrent pour dépouiller les morts; et ils trouvèrent Saül et ses trois fils étendus sur la montagne de Guilboa.
9 Et ils lui coupèrent la tête et le dépouillèrent de ses armes; et ils envoyèrent au pays des Philistins, de tous côtés, pour annoncer la nouvelle dans les temples de leurs idoles, et parmi le peuple.
10 Puis ils mirent ses armes au temple d'Ashtharoth, et pendirent son corps à la muraille de Beth-Shan.
11 Or, les habitants de Jabès de Galaad apprirent ce que les Philistins avaient fait à Saül;
