1 Samuel 28:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 28:23

But he refused, and said, I will not eat
Choosing rather to die with famine than by the sword of the Philistines; though perhaps his meaning is, he could not eat, his stomach loathed it, being overwhelmed with grief and trouble:

but his servants, together with the woman, compelled him;
not by force, but by arguments; they reasoned with him, and prevailed upon him to try to eat:

and he hearkened unto their voice;
and agreed to eat, if he could;

so he arose from the earth;
on which he lay at his full length:

and sat upon the bed;
or couch, it being now the custom to recline on couches at caring; though some deny that this custom obtained so early.

1 Samuel 28:23 In-Context

21 Entonces la mujer vino a Sa煤l, y vi茅ndole en gran manera turbado, le dijo: He aqu铆 que tu criada ha escuchado tu voz, y he puesto mi alma en mi mano, y he o铆do las palabras que t煤 me has dicho.
22 Te ruego, pues, que t煤 tambi茅n oigas la voz de tu sierva; pondr茅 yo delante de ti un bocado de pan que comas, para que te esfuerces, y vayas tu camino.
23 Y 茅l lo rehus贸, diciendo: No comer茅. Mas sus criados juntamente con la mujer le constri帽eron, y 茅l les escuch贸. Se levant贸, pues, del suelo, y se sent贸 sobre una cama.
24 Y aquella mujer ten铆a en su casa un ternero grueso, el cual mat贸 luego; y tom贸 harina y la amas贸, y coci贸 de ella panes sin levadura.
25 Y lo trajo delante de Sa煤l y de sus criados; y luego que hubieron comido, se levantaron, y partieron aquella noche.
