1 Samuel 19:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He fled and escaped It seems likely that a considerable part of the eighteenth Psalm, namely, from the 1st to the 29th verse, refers to this escape of David. The 29th verse seems entirely descriptive of it, and applicable to no other event of David's life that we read of. “By thee I have run through a troop, and by my God have I leaped over a wall.” Saul's messengers, that were sent to slay him in the morning, undoubtedly surrounded his house, and were upon the watch, and therefore David had reason to look upon his escaping them to be a wonderful deliverance, in which the providence of God was concerned.

1 Samuel 19:12

12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
