SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:2
Y Saúl estaba en el término de Gabaa, debajo de un granado que hay en Migrón, y el pueblo que estaba con él era como seiscientos hombres.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 14:2
Verse 2. Under a pomegranate tree] Under Rimmon, which not only signifies a pomegranate tree, but also a strong rock, in which six hundred Benjamites took shelter, Judg. xx. 45. Probably it was in this very rock that Saul and his six hundred men now lay hidden.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah , etc.] Not daring to go out against the Philistines, but remained in the furthest part of Gibeah, at the greatest distance from the camp of the Philistines, in the strongest part of the city, or deeply entrenched in the outer, part of it in the field: under a pomegranate tree ; where were his headquarters; his tent or pavilion was erected under a large spreading pomegranate, which protected him from the heat of the sun: or under Rimmon ; the rock Rimmon; under the shelter of that, and in the caverns of it; where a like number of Benjaminites he now had with him formerly hid themselves, ( Judges 20:47) which is in Migron ; a part of Gibeah, or rather of the field of Gibeah, so called; for near it it certainly was; and is also mentioned along with Michmash, and as lying in the way of the march of Sennacherib king of Assyria, to Jerusalem, ( Isaiah 10:28) and the people that were with him were about six hundred men ; which is observed to show that no addition was made to his little army; it was the same it was when he came thither, the people did not flock to his assistance, being in fear of the army of the Philistines, which was so powerful; (see 1 Samuel 13:15).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-15 - Saul seems to have been quite at a loss, and unable to help himself Those can never think themselves safe who see themselves out of God' protection. Now he sent for a priest and the ark. He hopes to make u matters with the Almighty by a partial reformation, as many do whose hearts are unhumbled and unchanged. Many love to have ministers wh prophesy smooth things to them. Jonathan felt a Divine impulse an impression, putting him upon this bold adventure. God will direct the steps of those that acknowledge him in all their ways, and seek to his for direction, with full purpose of heart to follow his guidance Sometimes we find most comfort in that which is least our own doing and into which we have been led by the unexpected but well-observe turns of Divine providence. There was trembling in the host. It is called a trembling of God, signifying, not only a great trembling the could not resist, nor reason themselves out of, but that it came a once from the hand of God. He that made the heart, knows how to make it tremble.
