ExplanationCommentary
Verse 39. Armour. Hebrew “he tried to go.” Sym. “he went lame.” Septuagint “he laboured in walking once and twice.” Calmet.—Salien supposes that the armour was not made for Saul, as he was much more bulky than young David. Yet we find that the latter could use the sword of the giant without difficulty. Saint John Chrysostom and so forth Bible.
