1 Samuel 16:4
_ _ the elders of the town trembled at his coming — Beth-lehem was an obscure town, and not within the usual circuit of the judge. The elders were naturally apprehensive, therefore, that his arrival was occasioned by some extraordinary reason, and that it might entail evil upon their town, in consequence of the estrangement between Samuel and the king. |
1 Samuel 16:4
Trembled — Because it was strange and unexpected to them, this being but an obscure town, and remote from Samuel, and therefore they justly thought there was some extraordinary reason for it. Peaceable — The Hebrew phrase, comest thou in peace, is as much as to say (in our phrase) is all well? |
