Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) So Michal let David down.--The princess, his wife, knew well her father's character, and conscious, now that the veil of his dark design was publicly lifted, that there was no hope for her husband any longer save in his instant flight, she "let David down through a window," because the king's guards were watching the door. With this desperate flight began those long weary wanderings, those perpetual risks of his life, which went on until the death of King Saul released David from his deadly enemy.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo Michalמִיכַ֛ל (mî·ḵal)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4324: Michal -- wife of Davidloweredוַתֹּ֧רֶד (wat·tō·reḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3381: To come or go down, descendDavidדָּוִ֖ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessefromבְּעַ֣ד (bə·‘aḏ)PrepositionStrong's 1157: In up to, over against, at, beside, among, behind, forthe window,הַחַלּ֑וֹן (ha·ḥal·lō·wn)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 2474: A windowand he ran awayוַיִּבְרַ֖ח (way·yiḇ·raḥ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1272: To bolt, to flee suddenlyand escaped.וַיִּמָּלֵֽט׃ (way·yim·mā·lêṭ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4422: To be smooth, to escape, to release, rescue, to bring forth young, emit sparksJump to PreviousCauseth David Escaped Escapeth Michal Window
