Bible Question: In this verse it says that King Saul did not know who David was when David was going to kill Goliath, but 16:19 says that Saul sent for him. Did David return home after he killed Goliath? prayon |
Bible Answer: Dear prayon, The key(as pointed out by the great Matthew Henry) is in I Samuel 17:15, which mentions David returning home to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. Thus, Saul may not have even imagined that the lad would show up on the battlefield. Also, Saul probably did not think a boy of "fair countenance" who was "cunning on the harp" could defeat such a formidable foe as Goliath. Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
