the archers does not contradict what
the Amalekite told David concerning
"the chariots and the horsemen," for
that belongs to a later point of time
@ Sam. 1: 6).-Saul said, =. Draw
thy sword, etc.: Thanks to the wo-
man of Endor, Saul has come into
the battle disheartened. Otherwise
he would have preferred to die fight
ing, and in that case he might not
have died.-Fen upon it: Why stab
himself in this fashion, rather than
in some more exact and skilful way?
His armor-bearer saw that Saul
was dead: That is what he thought
he saw. The Amalekite told David
@ Sam. +: 6-1O) that he found Saul
supporting himself on his spear, ap-
parently in a reclining position, in
danger from the Philistine chariots
and cavalry, and that Saul said,
"Stand, I pray thee, over me, and
slay me; =. for my soul is yet whole
within me. IF this is the truth,
SauTs attempted suicide was unsuc-
cessful, and he died by the hand of
the Amalekite.
Verse 6.-However he died, his
dynasty persisted With him. All his
sons who had any fitness for reigning
died in the same battle.-And all his
men: Those who held official posi-
tions, perhaps.
Verse IA result showing the de-
c~isiveness of the defeat.-The other
side of the valley: To the north
of the valley of Jezreel. We have no
account of the Philistine occupancy
at any other time thus extending to
the north of Jezreel and to the east
of the Jordan.-Came and dwelt:
This denotes ~unresisted military oc-
cupancy. We are told how perma-
nent the dwelling was.-In them: In
the cities. In the parallel account
in 1 Chronicles GOD the pronoun
is masculine, which gives the mean
ing "among them;" that is, among
the inhabitants of those cities.
Verses 8-1O.-By the indignities to
which they subjected his body, the
PhiIistines showed that they regarded
him as an especially formidable en-
envy, and thus really paid him a high
tribute.-Cut off his head: The &C
count in Chronicles says that they
fastened his head in the house of
Dagon.
Verses 11-13.-Another tribute to
Saul from the people for whom he
wrought his first great public act
q Sam. II: 1-13). - Burnt them
there: To prevent their falling
again into the hands of the Philis-
tines. There is here no necessary i'm,
plication hat cremation was then
customary.

Israel is ~demoralized, numbers com
