Commentary on 1 Samuel 19:14

Theological / Devotional

He is sick. Although David may literally have been “sick,” it seems more likely that Michal told a deliberate falsehood. If so, her action could hardly be condoned in spite of the fact that David was thereby given more time to make good his escape (see vs. 15, 16).
