Subject: Why Saul did not recognize David? |
Bible Note: Hello again sister, You are quite astute! very good observation! ;-) I must say you are a very good Bible student! Although he was still a youth, he was nonetheless full grown at this time, and assumed, with a beard. Here is a quote from Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset, and David Brown "The growth of the beard, and other changes on a now full-grown youth, prevented the king from recognizing his former favorite minstrel" I guess we don't know for certain, but this seems like a good explanation. God bless. John |
