Passage 1: 1 Samuel 28

(Notes Reference) And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, (a) Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.

(a) Though it was a great grief to David to fight against the people of God, yet such was his infirmity, he did not dare deny him.

(1Sa 28:2) And Dauid said to Achish, Surely thou shalt knowe, what thy seruant can doe. And Achish sayde to Dauid, Surely I will make thee keeper of mine head for euer.

(1Sa 28:3) (Samuel was then dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah his owne citie: and Saul had put away the sorcerers, and the soothsayers out of the land)

(Notes Reference) Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had (b) put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

(b) According to the commandment of God, (Exo 22:18; Deu 18:10-11).

(1Sa 28:4) Then the Philistims assembled themselues, and came, and pitched in Shunem: and Saul assembled all Israel, and they pitched in Gilboa.

(1Sa 28:5) And when Saul saw the hoste of the Philistims, he was afraid, and his heart was sore astonied.

(1Sa 28:6) Therefore Saul asked counsel of the Lord, and the Lord answered him not, neither by dreames, nor by Vrim, nor yet by Prophets.

(Notes Reference) And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by (c) Urim, nor by prophets.

(c) Meaning, the high priest, (Exo 28:30).

(1Sa 28:7) Then saide Saul vnto his seruants, Seeke me a woman that hath a familiar spirite, that I may goe to her, and aske of her. And his seruants said to him, Beholde, there is a woman at En-dor that hath a familiar spirit.

(1Sa 28:8) Then Saul changed him selfe, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he saide, I pray thee, coniecture vnto me by the familiar spirite, and bring me him vp whome I shall name vnto thee.

(Notes Reference) And Saul (d) disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me [him] up, whom I shall name unto thee.

(d) He does not seek God in his misery, but is led by Satan to unlawful means, which in his conscience he condemns.

(1Sa 28:9) And the woman saide vnto him, Beholde, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath destroyed the sorcerers, and the southsayers out of the land: wherefore then seekest thou to take me in a snare to cause me to die?

(1Sa 28:10) And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liueth, no harme shall come to thee for this thing.

(1Sa 28:11) Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring vp vnto thee? And he answered, Bring me vp Samuel.

(Notes Reference) Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up (e) Samuel.

(e) He speaks according to his gross ignorance not considering the state of the saints after this life, and how Satan has no power over them.

(1Sa 28:12) And when the woman sawe Samuel, she cryed with a loude voyce, and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceiued me? for thou art Saul.

(1Sa 28:13) And the King said vnto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said vnto Saul, I saw gods ascending vp out of the earth.

(1Sa 28:14) Then he said vnto her, What facion is hee of? And she answered, An olde man commeth vp lapped in a mantel: and Saul knewe that it was Samuel, and he enclined his face to the grounde, and bowed him selfe.

(Notes Reference) And he said unto her, What form [is] he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he [is] covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it [was] (f) Samuel, and he stooped with [his] face to the ground, and bowed himself.

(f) To his imagination, even though it was Satan, who to blind his eyes took on him the form of Samuel, as he can do of an angel of light.

(1Sa 28:15) And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me vp? Then Saul answered, I am in great distresse: for the Philistims make warre against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by Prophetes, neither by dreames: therefore I haue called thee, that thou mayest tell me, what I shall doe.

(1Sa 28:16) Then said Samuel, Wherefore then doest thou aske of me, seeing the Lord is gone from thee, and is thine enemie?

(1Sa 28:17) Euen the Lord hath done to him, as hee spake by mine hande: for the Lord will rent the kingdome out of thine hande, and giue it thy neighbour Dauid.

(Notes Reference) And the LORD hath done to (g) him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, [even] to David:

(g) That is, to David.

(1Sa 28:18) Because thou obeyedst not the voyce of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath vpon the Amalekites, therefore hath the Lord done this vnto thee this day.

(1Sa 28:19) Moreouer the Lord wil deliuer Israel with thee into the handes of the Philistims: and to morowe shalt thou and thy sonnes be with me, and the Lord shall giue the hoste of Israel into the handes of the Philistims.

(Notes Reference) Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: (h) and to morrow [shalt] thou and thy sons [be] with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

(h) You will die, (1Sa 31:6).

(1Sa 28:20) Then Saul fell streight way all along on the earth, and was sore afraide because of the wordes of Samuel, so that there was no strength in him: for he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the night.

(Notes Reference) Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore (i) afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

(i) The wicked when they hear God's judgments, tremble and despair, but cannot seek for mercy by repentance.

(1Sa 28:21) Then the woman came vnto Saul, and sawe that he was sore troubled, and said vnto him, See, thine handmaide hath obeyed thy voyce, and I haue put my soule in mine hande, and haue obeyed thy wordes which thou saydest vnto me.

(Notes Reference) And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I (k) have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

(k) I have ventured my life.

(1Sa 28:22) Now therefore, I pray thee, hearke thou also vnto ye voyce of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsell of bread before thee, that thou mayest eat and get thee strength, and go on thy iourney.

(1Sa 28:23) But he refused, and said, I will not eate: but his seruants and the woman together compelled him, and he obeyed their voyce: so he arose from the earth, and sate on the bed.

(1Sa 28:24) Nowe the woman had a fat calfe in the house, and she hasted, and killed it, and tooke floure and kneaded it, and baked of it vnleauened bread.

(Notes Reference) And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded [it], and did bake (l) unleavened bread thereof:

(l) Because it required haste.

(1Sa 28:25) Then she brought them before Saul, and before his seruants: and when they had eaten, they stoode, and went away the same night.

(Jer 4:4) Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.

(Notes Reference) Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they (a) wash not their hands when they eat bread.

(Notes Reference) (2) But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

(2) Their wicked boldness in corrupting the commandments of God (and that upon the pretence of godliness) and usurping authority to make laws, is reproved here.

(Notes Reference) For God commanded, saying, (b) Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

(c) The meaning is this: whatever I bestow upon the temple, is to your profit, for it is as good as if I gave it to you, for (as the Pharisees of our time say) it will be meritorious for you: for under this form of religion, they gathered all to themselves, as though he that had given anything to the temple, had done the duty of a child.

(Mat 15:6) Though hee honour not his father, or his mother, shalbe free: thus haue ye made the commandement of God of no aucthoritie by your tradition.

(Notes Reference) And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none (d) effect by your tradition.

(d) As much as you could, you destroyed the power and authority of the commandment: for otherwise the commandments of God stand fast in the Church of God, in spite of the world and Satan.

(Mat 15:7) O hypocrites, Esaias prophecied well of you, saying,

(Notes Reference) (3) [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

(Notes Reference) (4) And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

(4) Christ teaches us that the hypocrisy of false teachers who deceive our souls is not to be endured at all, not even in small matters, and there is no reason why their office or position should blind our eyes: otherwise we are likely to perish with them.

(Mat 15:11) That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man, but that which commeth out of the mouth, that defileth the man.

(Mat 15:12) Then came his disciples, and saide vnto him, Perceiuest thou not, that the Pharises are offended in hearing this saying?

(Mat 15:17) Perceiue ye not yet, that whatsoeuer entreth into the mouth, goeth into the bellie, and is cast out into the draught?

(Mat 15:18) But those thinges which proceede out of the mouth, come from the heart, and they defile the man.

(Mat 15:19) For out of the heart come euil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slaunders.

(Mat 15:20) These are the things, which defile the man: but to eat with vnwashen hands, defileth not ye man.

(Mat 15:21) And Iesus went thence, and departed into the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon.

(Notes Reference) Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the (e) coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

(e) Coasts which were next to Tyre and Sidon, that is in that region where Palestine faces toward Venice, and the sea of Syria.

(Mat 15:22) And beholde, a woman a Cananite came out of the same coasts, and cried, saying vnto him, Haue mercie on me, O Lord, the sonne of Dauid: my daughter is miserably vexed with a deuil.

(Notes Reference) And, behold, a woman of (f) Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

(f) Of the people of the Canaanites, who dwelt in Phoenicia.

(Mat 15:23) But hee answered her not a worde. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him, saying, Sende her away, for she crieth after vs.

(Notes Reference) (5) But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

(5) In that Christ sometimes shuts his ears, as it were, to the prayers of his saints, he does it for his glory, and our profit.

(Mat 15:24) But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.

(Mat 15:26) And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it to whelps.

(Mat 15:27) But she said, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate of the crommes, which fall from their masters table.

(Mat 15:28) Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was made whole at that houre.

(Mat 15:29) So Iesus went away from thence, and came neere vnto the sea of Galile, and went vp into a mountaine and sate downe there.

(Notes Reference) (6) And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

(6) Christ does not cease to be beneficial even where he is condemned, and in the midst of wolves he gathers together and cares for his flock.

(Mat 15:30) And great multitudes came vnto him, hauing with them, halt, blinde, dumme, maymed, and many other, and cast them downe at Iesus feete, and he healed them.

(h) Whose members were weakened with paralysis, or by nature, for after it is said that he healed them. Now Christ preferred to heal in this way, that such members as were weak, he restored to health, and yet he could easily, if he had wanted, have given them hands and feet and other members which they lacked.

(Mat 15:31) In so much that the multitude wondered, to see the dumme speake, the maimed whole, the halt to goe, and the blinde to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

(Mat 15:32) Then Iesus called his disciples vnto him, and said, I haue compassion on this multitude, because they haue continued with mee already three dayes, and haue nothing to eate: and I wil not let them depart fasting, least they faint in the way.

(Notes Reference) (7) Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they (i) continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

(7) By doing this miracle again, Christ shows that he who follows Christ will never be in need, not even in the wilderness.

(i) Go not from my side.

(Mat 15:33) And his disciples saide vnto him, Whence should we get so much bread in the wildernes, as should suffice so great a multitude!

(Mat 15:34) And Iesus said vnto them, How many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen, and a few litle fishes.

(Mat 15:35) Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the ground,

(Notes Reference) And he commanded the multitude to (k) sit down on the ground.

(k) Literally, "to lie down backwards", as rowers do in rowing, when they draw their oars to themselves.

(Mat 15:36) And tooke the seuen loaues, and the fishes, and gaue thankes, and brake them, and gaue to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

(Mat 15:37) And they did all eate, and were sufficed: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, seuen baskets full.

(Notes Reference) And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven (l) baskets full.

(Mat 15:39) Then Iesus sent away the multitude, and tooke ship, and came into the partes of Magdala.
