1 Samuel 21:9
_ _ 1 Samuel 21:9. He takes Goliath’s sword.
_ _ sword of Goliath — (See on 1 Samuel 17:54).
_ _ behind the ephod — in the place allowed for keeping the sacred vestments, of which the ephod is mentioned as the chief. The giant’s sword was deposited in that safe custody as a memorial of the divine goodness in delivering Israel.
_ _ There is none like that — not only for its size and superior temper, but for its being a pledge of the divine favor to him, and a constant stimulus to his faith. |
1 Samuel 21:9
Ephod — That is, behind that holy place allotted for the keeping of the sacred, or priestly garments; all which are here comprehended under the ephod; which, as the chief is put for all the rest. Here it was laid up as a sacred monument of God's power and goodness. None like it — Because it not only served him for his use, for he was a strong and tall man, and one that could wield that sword, but was also a pledge of God's favour to him. Whenever be looked upon it, it would be a support to his faith, by reminding him of what God had already done. |
1 Samuel 21:9
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it [is here] wrapped in a cloth behind the (g) ephod: if thou wilt take that, take [it]: for [there is] no other save that here. And David said, [There is] none like that; give it me.
(g) Behind that place where the high priests garment lay. |

And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. ... And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
|
