1 Samuel 22:17-18
_ _ 1 Samuel 22:17-19. Saul commands to kill the priests.
_ _ the footmen that stood about him — his bodyguard, or his runners (1 Samuel 8:11; 2 Samuel 15:1; 1 Kings 1:5; 1 Kings 14:28), who held an important place at court (2 Chronicles 12:10). But they chose rather to disobey the king than to offend God by imbruing their hands in the blood of his ministering servants. A foreigner alone (Psalms 52:1-3) could be found willing to be the executioner of this bloody and sacrilegious sentence. Thus was the doom of the house of Eli fulfilled [1 Samuel 2:30-36]. |
1 Samuel 22:17

(k) For they knew that they should not obey the wicked commandment of the king in slaying the innocent. |

Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
