TSK - 2 SAMUEL 1

 1  The Amalekite, who brought tidings of the overthrow, and
    accused himself of Saul's death, is slain.
17  David mourns Saul and Jonathan with a song.

   * 1Sa 30:17-26
- Ziklag.
   * 1Sa 27:6

VERSE 5 
 - How knowest.
   * Pr 14:15; 25:2


VERSE 6 
 - As I happened.
  The story of this young man appears to be wholly a fiction,
  formed for the purpose of ingratiating himself with David, as
  the next probable successor to the crown.  There is no fact in
  the case, except for the bringing of the diadem and bracelets
  of Saul, as a sufficient evidence of his death, which, as he
  appears to been a plunderer of the slain, he seems to have
  stripped from the dead body of the unfortunate monarch.  It is
  remarkable, that Saul, who had forfeited his crown by his
  disobedience and ill-timed clemency with respect to the
  Amalekites, should now have the insignia of royalty stripped
  from his person by one of those very people.

   * Ru 2:3 1Sa 6:9 Lu 10:31
- mount.
   * :21 1Sa 28:4; 31:1
- Saul.
   * 1Sa 31:2-7


VERSE 7

   * 1Sa 30:1,13,17

 - anguish, etc.  or, my coat of mail, or, my embroidered coat
  hindereth me, that my, etc.
   * Ex 28:20,39

   * Ge 44:30

- crown.
   * 2Sa 12:30 La 5:16
- bracelet.
  This was probably worn as an ensign of royalty, as is
  frequently the case in the East.  When the Khalif Cayem
  Bemrillah granted the investiture of certain dominions to an
  Eastern prince, the ceremony was performed by sending him
  letters patent, a crown, chain, and bracelets.  The bracelet,
  says Mr. Morier, are ornaments fastened above the elbows,
  composed of precious stones of great value, and are only worn
  by the king and his sons.

   * Pr 11:18

 - Thy blood.
   * Ge 9:5,6 Le 20:9,11-13,16,27 De 19:10 Jos 2:19 Jud 9:24

   * Ge 49:8 De 4:10
- bow.
  {Kasheth,} or the bow, was probably the title of the following
  threnody; so called, in the oriental style, because Saul's
  death was occasioned by that weapon, and because the bow of
  Jonathan, out of which "the arrow was shot beyond the lad,"
  (1 Sa 36 20:36,) is celebrated in this song.

- the book.
   * Jos 10:13
- Jasher.  or, the upright.
  So LXX. [                       ;] Targum, {siphra deooritha,}
  "the book of the law;" the Arabic, "the book of Ashee:  this
  is the book of Samuel."  This book was probably a collection
  of divine odes, written to commemorate remarkable events.


VERSE 19 
 - beauty.
   * :23 De 4:7,8 1Sa 31:8 Isa 4:2; 53:2 La 2:1 Zec 11:7,10
- how are.
   * :25,27 La 5:16

   * De 32:26,27 Jud 14:19; 16:23,24 1Sa 31:9 Mic 1:10
- Philistines.
   * Ex 15:20,21 Jud 11:34 1Sa 18:6 Eze 16:27,57

   * Jud 5:23 Job 3:3-10 Isa 5:6 Jer 20:14-16
- offerings.
   * Joe 1:9; 2:14
- not.
  Instead of {belee,} "not," we should probably, with Dr.
  Delaney and others, read {keley,} "weapons," as it is found on
  one MS. and in the first edition of the Hebrew Bible, printed
  at Soncini, 1488:  "the shield of Saul; the weapons of the
  anointed with oil."

- anointed.
