Heb. took him. Pro 22:29; The preceding twenty verses, from the 12th to the 31st inclusive, the 41st, and from the 54th to the end of this chapter, with the five first verses and the 9th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, of chap 18, are all wanting in the Vatican copy of the LXX.; and they are supposed by Dr. Kennicott, and others, to be an interpolation. But, as Bp. Horsley observes, it appears, from many circumstances of the story, that David?s combat with Goliath was many years prior to Saul?s madness, and David?s introduction to him as a musician. In the first place, David was quite a youth when he engaged with Goliath, (1Sa 17:33, 42:) when introduced to Saul he was of full age, (1Sa 16:18.) Again, this combat was his first appearance in public life, and his first military exploit, (1Sa 17:36, 38, 39:) when introduced as a musician, he was a man of established character, and a man of war (1Sa 16:18.) Now the just conclusion is, that the last ten verses of 16:14-23; have been misplaced; their true place |
