1 Samuel 19:11-15
sent messengers Ps 59:1 *title Ps 59:3-4, Ps 59:6, Ps 59:15-16 to watch him Judg 16:2 Michal Ps 34:19 let David Josh 2:15; Acts 9:24-25; 2Cor 11:32-33 an image Heb. teraphim, Gen 31:19 *marg. Judg 17:5, Judg 18:14, Judg 18:17; Hos 3:4 a pillow Rather, "the net-work of goat's hair at its (the Teraphim's) pillow;" for the kevir, (whence the Chaldee and Syriac kavreetho, a honey-comb, from its net-like form), seems to have been a kind of mosquito-net, which, says Dr. Shaw, is "a close curtain of gauze, used all over the East, by people of fashion, to keep out the flies." That they had such anciently cannot be doubted. Thus when Judith had beheaded Holofernes in his bed (1Sam 13:9, 1Sam 13:15) "she pulled down the canopy (or the mosquito net, το κωνωπειου, from κωνωψ, a gnat, or mosquito, whence our word canopy) wherein he did lie in his drunkenness, from the pillars." she said Josh 2:5; 2Sam 16:17-19, 2Sam 17:20 Bring him The eastern beds consist merely of two thick cotton quilts, one of which, folded double, serves as a mattress, the other as a covering. Such seems to have been the bed of David, which could easily have been carried, with himself in it, to the presence of Saul. 1Sam 19:6; Job 31:31; Ps 37:12; Prov 27:3-4; Rom 3:15
