Commentary on 1 Samuel 20:41

Theological / Devotional

David exceeded. Literally, “David caused to become great.” The exact meaning of this clause is uncertain. The LXX conveys the idea of weeping a long time or to a great climax. Some have understood the words literally in the sense of David being “made great” or “strengthened” for the ordeal ahead.
