Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) And it was told Saul.--This short statement tells us plainly that up to the moment when Saul heard that David had crossed the frontier, he had not ceased to pursue after him and to seek his life. Ewald considers that it was during the residence at Gath that David exercised himself as a musician in the Gittite--i.e., the Philistine--style, which he afterwards transferred from there to Judah and Jerusalem. (See titles of Psalms 8, 81, 84, "upon the Gittith.") Gittith is a feminine adjective derived from Gath; the words possibly signify, "after the Gittith manner: some peculiar measure of style of Philistine music, or else the reference may be to a Philistine musical instrument."Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd when Saulלְשָׁא֔וּל (lə·šā·’ūl)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israeliteslearnedוַיֻּגַּ֣ד (way·yug·gaḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hofal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5046: To be conspicuousthatכִּֽי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionDavidדָּוִ֖ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessehad fledבָרַ֥ח (ḇā·raḥ)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1272: To bolt, to flee suddenlyto Gath,גַּ֑ת (gaṯ)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 1661: Gath -- 'wine press', a Philistine cityhe noוְלֹֽא־ (wə·lō-)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nolongerיָסַ֥ף (yā·sap̄)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3254: To add, augmentsearched for him.לְבַקְשֽׁוֹ׃ (lə·ḇaq·šōw)Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1245: To search out, to strive afterJump to PreviousAdded David Declared Hearing Longer Saul Searched Seek Sought
