Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Samuel 20:1-42

1 Samuel 20:1-231And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan,1 What have I done? what is my iniquity and what is my sin before thy father that 2he seeketh my life? And he said unto him, God forbid [Far be it2]! Thou shalt not die; behold, my father will do3 nothing either great or small but that he will 3show it me, and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. And David sware4 moreover,5 and said, Thy father certainly knoweth [knoweth well]6 that I... read more

1 Samuel JONATHAN, THE PATTERN OF FRIENDSHIP 1Sa_20:1 - 1Sa_20:13 . The friendship of Jonathan for David comes like a breath of pure air in the midst of the heavy-laden atmosphere of hate and mad fury, or like some clear fountain sparkling up among the sulphurous slag and barren scoriae of a volcano. There is no more beautiful page in history or poetry than the story of the passionate love of the heir to the throne for the young champion, whom he had so much cause to regard as a rival. What... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 20:1-16

Friendship’s Covenant 1 Samuel 20:1-16 Life becomes intolerable when suspense is long drawn out; hence David’s appeal to his friend. Besides, he yearned for one more glimpse of the dear home at Bethlehem, and to drink of “the well which was by the gate.” The talk between the friends was heart-breaking to both. Only those who have experienced the severance of loving communion and intercourse can fathom the depth and bitterness of the waters that began to roll between the two friends. Jonathan... read more

a Friend at Court 1 Samuel 20:17-29 Jonathan most have been strongly tempted to ally himself with his friend, that they might face the world together; but he clung loyally to his father’s fortunes, though he knew that he was courting failure and overthrow. At the same time he stood nobly forth at the banquet in defense of his friend. What a rebuke for some of us! The Prince of the kings of the earth is not ashamed to call us brethren, but alas, how often we shrink from acknowledging and... read more

David returned to Jonathan, and there follows an interesting and beautiful account of a time in which these two friends took counsel together about David's peril. Every incident of the story is full of arresting beauty; Jonathan's deep concern and all he did to help his friend reveal a man of the finest type. As we have suggested, the whole attitude of Jonathan becomes the more wonderful when we remember that he was the heir apparent to the throne. Moreover, we see not merely his love for... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 20:17

‘MY FAMILIAR FRIEND’‘He loved David as his own soul.’ 1 Samuel 20:17 With a feeling of relief we turn to the main line of thought in the Lesson, David and Jonathan. ‘Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field.’ This was characteristic of him. He loved the open air and field sports. He delighted in archery. He had a passion for adventure, and was never so happy as when away from the court engaged in some perilous raid upon the Philistines. Jonathan felt more at home in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 20:1-9

David Seeks Out Jonathan (1 Samuel 20:1-9 ). While Saul was rendered incapable of doing anything by the working of God’s Spirit on him, David was able to flee from Naioth, and his first action was to take advantage of the fact that Saul was busy elsewhere to seek out Jonathan, presumably in Gibeah. He was genuinely puzzled as to why Saul was behaving in the way that he was because he did not know what he had done wrong. And if anyone would know, surely it would be Jonathan. Analysis. a And... read more

Jonathan Explains His Plan For Letting David Know What The Situation Is, And Renews Their Firm Covenant (1 Samuel 20:10-24 a). In response to David’s request Jonathan now outlined his plan for keeping David informed of whatever decision Saul showed himself to have come to, and at the same time renewed and expanded his covenant with David. He was now aware in his heart that the throne was not for him, and that YHWH eventually intended that David would sit on the throne of Israel. Indeed we... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 20:24-34

Jonathan And Saul Fall Out Over David At The New Moon Festival (20:24b-34). Every ‘day of the new moon’, which indicated the commencement of another ‘month’, and thus regulated the seasons and the days of the religious feasts, was treated specially, with the offering of offerings and sacrifices and the blowing of ram’s horns. And some new moon days would be even more special, such as those that fell on a Sabbath, or the day following the Sabbath, those that began the New Year, and those on... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 20:1-42

1 Samuel 20. David and Jonathan (J).1 Samuel 20 has no obvious connexion with any of the preceding or following sections: “ And David fled from Naioth in Ramah,” is an editorial insertion to connect this section with the preceding after the events narrated in 1 Samuel 19:1-Esther :, Jonathan could hardly assure David that Saul would not kill him, and that he was privy to all his father’ s plans. Similarly the literal translation of 1 Samuel 21:1 is “ And David came, etc.” 1 Samuel 20 is... read more
