Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 20:27

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse —The question was asked, as it were, casually, and with as great an air of indifference as he could assume. And Jonathan having replied that David had asked and obtained his permission to attend a family anniversary at Beth-lehem [ Acts 20:28 ; Acts 20:29 ], the pent-up passions of the king burst out in a most violent storm of rage and invective against his son. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-30" class="com-number"
