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 Saul inviò dei messi per pigliar Davide; ma quando questi videro l’adunanza de’ profeti che profetavano, con Samuele che tenea la presidenza, lo spirito di Dio investì i messi di Saul che si misero anch’essi a profetare.
21 Ne informarono Saul, che inviò altri messi, i quali pure si misero a profetare. Saul ne mandò ancora per la terza volta, e anche questi si misero a profetare.
22 Allora si recò egli stesso a Rama; e, giunto alla gran cisterna ch’è a Secu, chiese: "Dove sono Samuele e Davide?" Gli fu risposto: "Ecco, sono a Naioth, presso Rama".
23 Egli andò dunque là, a Naioth, presso Rama; e lo spirito di Dio investì anche lui; ed egli continuò il suo viaggio, profetando, finché giunse a Naioth, presso Rama.
24 E anch’egli si spogliò delle sue vesti, anch’egli profetò in presenza di Samuele, e giacque nudo per terra tutto quel giorno e tutta quella notte. Donde il detto: "Saul è anch’egli tra i profeti?"
