Hello and welcome to Study Bible Forum. The phrase in 1 Samuel 24:3 you asked about, i.e., "to cover his feet," as the KJV renders it, is a euphemism for having a bowel movement. Some modern versions translate the phrase "to relieve himself" or "to attend to his needs." ...... It is of some interest to note how this expression which literally means "to cover his feet" came to be. Preparatory to "attending to his needs" a person would actually crouch and drop his garment to his feet, thus covering them. --Hank | ||||||
