Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 20:40

_ _ Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad — that is, his missive weapons. The French word artillerie, signifies “archery.” The term is still used in England, in the designation of the “artillery company of London,” the association of archers, though they have long disused bows and arrows. Jonathan’s boy being dispatched out of the way, the friends enjoyed the satisfaction of a final meeting.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 20:35-42.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 20:40

Artillery — His bow, and arrows, and quiver.
