Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

20:32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be {p} slain? what hath he done?
(p) For it was too great tyranny to put one to death and not to give a reason why.

MHC:

20:24-34 None were more constant than David in attending holy duties; nor had he been absent, but self-preservation obliged him to withdraw. In great peril present opportunities for Divine ordinances may be waved. But it is bad for us, except in case of necessity, to omit any opportunity of statedly attending on them. Jonathan did wisely and well for himself and family, to secure an interest in David, yet for this he is blamed. It is good to take God's people for our people. It will prove to our advantage at last, however it may now be thought against our interest. Saul was outrageous. What savage beasts, and worse, does anger make men!

Answereth Answering Death Jonathan Saul Slain Wherefore

Death Jonathan Saul Slain Wherefore
