TSK: 2Sa 1:6 - As I happened // mount // Saul

As I happened : The story of this young man appears to be wholly a fiction, formed for the purpose of ingratiating himself with David, as the next probable successor to the crown. There is no fact in the case, except for the bringing of the diadem and bracelets of Saul, as a sufficient evidence of his death, which, as he appears to been a plunderer of the slain, he seems to have stripped from the dead body of the unfortunate monarch It is remarkable, that Saul, who had forfeited his crown by his disobedience and ill-timed clemency with respect to the Amalekites, should now have the insignia of royalty stripped from his person by one of those very people. Rth 2:3; 1Sa 6:9; Luk 10:31

mount : 2Sa 1:21; 1Sa 28:4, 1Sa 31:1

Saul : 1Sa 31:2-7

Haydock: 2Sa 1:6 - Chance // Spear

Chance. He feigned this to obtain the favour of David; but the king punished him as he deserved. (Worthington) ---

Spear, or sword, as it is before expressed. (Menochius)

Gill: 2Sa 1:6 - And the young man that told him // said, as I happened by chance upon Mount Gilboa // behold, Saul leaned upon his spear // and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him

And the young man that told him,.... So it seems he was, and therefore could not be Doeg, more likely his son of the two; but there is no reason to believe he was either of them, who cannot be thought to be well disposed to David:

said, as I happened by chance upon Mount Gilboa; who was either a traveller that came that way just as the army was routed, and part had fled to Gilboa; or if a soldier, was not one of those that attended Saul, and was of his bodyguard, but happened on the flight to come to the same spot on Gilboa where Saul was:

behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; that that might pierce him through and die; but this seems not true, for he fell upon his sword for that purpose, 1Sa 31:4,

and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him; the charioteers and cavalry, of which part of the Philistine army consisted; though this also does not agree with the account in the above place; for according to that they were the archers that pressed him hard, and hit him.
