Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 20:41-42

_ _ 1 Samuel 20:41, 1 Samuel 20:42. Jonathan and David lovingly part.

_ _ David ... fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times — a token of homage to the prince’s rank; but on a close approach, every other consideration was sunk in the full flow of the purest brotherly affection.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
