SAUL COMMANDS TO KILL THE PRIESTS. (I Samuel 22:17-19)
the footmen that stood about him—his bodyguard, or his runners (I Samuel 8:11; II Samuel 15:1; I Kings 1:5; I Kings 14:28), who held an important place at court (II Chronicles 12:10). But they chose rather to disobey the king than to offend God by imbruing their hands in the blood of his ministering servants. A foreigner alone (Psalms 52:1-3) could be found willing to be the executioner of this bloody and sacrilegious sentence. Thus was the doom of the house of Eli fulfilled [I Samuel 2:30-36].
