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

- 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.

{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.

- Philistines.
* Ex 15:20,21 Jud 11:34 1Sa 18:6 Eze 16:27,57

- no dew.
* 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."
