I Samuel
Chapter
19
{David's
First Bout of Reversionism}
{Verses
1-10: Fear and Flight}
1^~And
Saul communicated categorically {dabar}
to
Jonathan his son,
and
to all his ministers/servants,
that
they should 'put out the order cause the death of' David
{muwth Hiphil stem - to cause the death of David}.
{Verses
2-5: Jonathan Rejects Order from Saul}
2^~
But Jonathan, Saul's son,
'had
tremendous rapport' with David
{chaphets m@`od - indicates category III friendship type love}
and
Jonathan informed David, saying,
"Saul
my father intensely keeps striving
to
cause your death {a general order from the King}.
Now
therefore, I pray you,
guard
yourself {against this death decree} until the morning,
and
'stay out of his way'
in
a secret place,
and
{I advise you to} hide yourself
{not an imperative - recognizes David's free will. A good friend
never forces his opinion on his friend}."
{Note: Jonathan was such a good friend to David that his name has become a synonym for 'being a terrific true friend'.}
3^~And
I will go out
and
stand beside my father in the field
where
you are,
and
I will discuss with my father about you.
And
what I see, that I will tell you.
{Note: Jonathan will check out if his father means what he commanded and tell David.}
4^~And
Jonathan communicated categorically {dabar}
well
of David unto Saul his father,
and
said unto him,
"Let
not the king {formal addressing the authority of his father}
'miss
the mark'/sinned {chata'}
against
his servant - against David
because
he has not 'missed the mark'/sinned against you,
and
because his works {military conduct of David}
have
been exceptionally good."
5^~"For
he did put his life in his hand
{endangered his life - over and above the call of duty},
and
slew the Philistine,
and
Jehovah/God has manufactured
a
great deliverance for all Israel.
You
saw it and did rejoice.
Why
then will you 'miss the mark'/sin against innocent blood . . .
to
'order the death of' David without a cause?"
6^~And
Saul listened carefully { shama` }to the voice of Jonathan
and
Saul swore,
"As
the Jehovah/God lives {a 'solemn oath'},
he
{David} shall not be slain.
{Note: This is an example of what is meant by 'taking the Lord's name in vain' - to take an oath in the name of God if you do not intend to keep the vow. But the word of a reversionist is not worth the 'paper' his verbal vow is (not) written on! Saul intends to keep his word right here but it won't be long until he is back in reversionism!}
7^~And
Jonathan called David,
and
Jonathan related him of all these words {dabar}
{told him he was restored to his Generalship of his brigade and was
safe again}.
And
Jonathan brought David to Saul,
and
he was in his presence . . . as in times past.
8^~And
when the war intensified,
David
went out
{David's brigade was the trouble shooting brigade - they led the
way!},
and
kept on fighting with the Philistines,
and
caused them to die violently
with
a great slaughter
and
they fled from his face/presence
{the enemy saw it was David and said let's get the heck out of
here}.
{Note: Point of Doctrine: If you are a Christian and in the military, this is the objective of the Christian soldier - be the best killer of the enemy in your unit!}
9^~And
'the intensity of Saul's reversionistic discipline
from God increased by demon influence'
{idiom: literally the evil spirit (ra' ruwach) from Jehovah/God}
was
upon Saul {back in reversionism},
as
he {Saul} was living in his with his javelin in his hand
and
David played with his hand {a musical instrument}.
{Note: RBT says this is an idiom for entering into the intensified stage of reversionist discipline. First stage was just knocking warning. Now more intense.}
{Another
Murder Attempt by Saul on David - 2nd Flight of David}
10^~And
Saul intensively sought to execute/kill/impale David . . .
even
to the wall . . .
with
the javelin
but
he {David} 'suddenly and quickly bursting with energy' {patar}
kept
on going out of Saul's presence,
and
he {Saul} 'threw the javelin'/'caused the javelin to strike'
into
the wall
and
David fled,
and
escaped that night.
{Verses
11-18: The High Point of the Marriage - Still a Low Point}
11~~Saul
also kept on sending assassins/messengers {mal'ak}
unto
David's house,
to
guard/watch him
{make
sure he does not get away - watch him until they kill him},
and
to cause his death in the morning.
And
Michal - David's wife {being motivated by her emotional love}
kept
on informing him,
saying,
"If your soul {nephesh} does not escape tonight,
tomorrow
you will be 'caused to be slain'/assassinated
{muwth - Hophal tense}."
{Note:
High point is Michal helps David escape. Low point is the manner in
which Michal operated.}
12~~So
Michal let down David through a window
{she really 'lets him down later' here she is lowering him down!}.
And
he went, and fled undetected {barach}, and escaped.
13~~And
Michal took
a
'doll sized image of the goddess of love' {t@raphiym},
and
laid it in the bed,
and
put a pillow of goats' hair for his pillow,
and
covered it with a cloth.
{Note: The assassins are not due to look for David until the morning and she knows this. Why is she doing all of this unnecessary deception? Because a person in reversionism can get to the point of lying just out of habit. Being emotional, she likes to lie! She is being deceptive for no real purpose - is the picture here.}
14~~And
when Saul sent messengers to take David,
she
said, "He is sick."
{Note: David has been gone for hours. Does this really help David or is she lying because a reversionism likes to lie out of the emotional thrill of it?}
15~~And
Saul sent the assassins/messengers
again
to see David, saying,
"Cause
him to be lifted up to me {Saul} in the bed,
that
I {Saul} may cause him to die."
{Note: Picture here is of 'sick' reversionist Saul, going to kill supposedly 'sick' SuperGrace believer David.}
16~~And
when the assassins/ messengers kept on entering in,
behold,
there was an idol in the bed,
with
a pillow of goats' hair for his pillow.
17~~And
Saul said unto Michal,
"Why
have you deceived me so,
and
sent away my enemy {her husband David},
that
he is escaped?"
And
Michal kept on saying to Saul,
"He
{David} said unto me intensely, 'Let me go or I will kill you.'
{Michal lying to Daddy about her discussion with David}
18~~So
David fled {barach},
and
escaped/'received a deliverance'
{one
he did not even know about right then}
{malat - Niphal tense - means God was delivering him from a
reversionistic mess},
and
kept coming to Samuel to Ramah,
and
related to him all
that
Saul had done/'manufactured out of evil' {`asah} to him
{operation tattletale - David sliding into reversionism}.
And
he and Samuel went
and
dwelt in blessing and happiness {yashab}
in
Naioth {prophets had a theological school there}.
19~~And
it was reported to Saul, saying,
"Behold,
David is at Naioth in Ramah."
20~~And
Saul sent soldiers/messengers to take David.
And
when they saw the company of the prophets
being
taught {naba' -Niphal stem}
{Samuel is the distinguished guest professor - greatest teacher of
his day},
and
Samuel standing with authority over them
{Samuel was teaching with authority - as is the example for all bible
teaching},
the
Spirit of 'Elohiym/Godhead {ruwach 'Elohiym -
Restraining ministry of God the Holy Spirit}
was
upon the assassins/messengers of Saul,
and
they also 'listened respectfully
to
what was being taught' {naba' -Hithpa'el stem}.
{Note: Hithpa'el stem is used for those who are listening and means to intensely concentrate. So, under the ministry of God the Holy Spirit, they were mesmerized by the teaching of the Word and they forgot their mission.}
21~~And
when it was related back to Saul,
he
"sent other soldiers/messengers
'with
very vigorous instructions' " {shalach mal'ak},
and
they also 'listened respectfully
to
what was being taught' {naba' -Hithpa'el stem}.
And
Saul sent soldiers/messengers
again
the third time,
and
they also 'listened respectfully
to
what was being taught' {naba' -Hithpa'el stem}.
{Note: Three companies of Saul's best men are now listening to the teaching.}
22~~Then
he {Saul} went also to Ramah,
and
came to a great well that is in Sechu.
And
he asked and said,
"Where
are Samuel and David?
And
one said, "Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah."
23-24~~And
he went quickly there to Naioth in Ramah
and
the Spirit of 'Elohiym/Godhead was upon him also
{direct influence on Saul by God so David could escape},
and
he went on,
and
also 'listened to what was being taught' {naba' -Hithpa'el stem}
{he was listening until he even got there! He was receiving
information directly and will arrive in an ecstatic condition},
until
he came to Naioth in Ramah. 24~~
And
he {Saul} stripped naked {pashat} . . .
{all
of} his clothes after he got there,
and
he himself also 'listened
to
what was being taught' {naba' -Hithpa'el stem}
before
the face of Samuel in a similar manner,
and
fell down, being naked, all that day and all that night
{everyone else is studying and taking notes, but the king of Israel is
laying down naked in the isle - 24 hours in this state and the class
just went on!}.
Therefore
they {Jews in 'tongue in cheek' humor} keep on remarking,
"Is
Saul also among the 'theological students'/prophets {nabiy'}?"
{Note: In his ecstatic condition, Saul spent the day naked listening to doctrine being taught! Part of Saul's reversionistic divine discipline is that people will make fun of him. He became a laughing stock of his day and for all time!}
