1 Samuel 20:41

1 Samuel 20:41 [And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

Ver. 41. David arose out of a place. ] When now they saw the coast was clear, these two famous friends met and melted one over another.

Until David exceeded. ] Aγαθοι δ αριδακρυες ανδρες -

“ Et faciles motus mens generosa capit. ”

The better any one is, the more apt to weep. But David indeed had the greater reason in many regards.
