1 Samuel 19:19 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 19:19

17 Then Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! ^aWhy should I kill you?’ ”

18 So David fled and escaped, and went to ^aSamuel at ^bRamah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

19 Now it was told Saul, saying, “Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!”

20 Then ^aSaul sent messengers to take David. ^bAnd when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also ^cprophesied.

21 And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
