On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Thus the persecutors of our Lord Jesus, who are compared to dogs ( Ps. xxii. 16 ), ran him down with noise; for else they could not have taken him, at least no on the feast-day, for there would have been an uproar among the people.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Their sin was their hunting for David to make a prey of him; their punishment should be that they should be reduced to such extreme poverty that they should hunt about for meat to satisfy their hunger, and should miss of it as they missed of David.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Return - Watching for me: which they did at this time all the night long, 1 Sam. xix, 11. A dog - When he is pursuing his prey. Go round - When they did not find him in his own house, they sought for him in other parts of the city.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
