This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_19:24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
Ver. 24. And he stripped off his clothes also,] i.e., His upper garments, or arms, as his messengers had done before. {Isa_20:2 Mic_1:8}
And prophesied before Samuel.] The same God which did at first put an awe of man upon the fiercest creatures, hath stamped in the cruellest hearts a reverent respect to his own image in his ministers: so as even they that hate them, do yet honour them.
And lay down.] Cecidit. The Vulgate hath it cecinit; he fell into a trance or ecstasy, forgetting the cause of his coming thither. "Whilst that I withal escape," singeth David. {Psa_141:10}
Is Saul also among the prophets?] This was now spoken in a jeer. What! Is the bloody tyrant so tied up and manacled, in spite of all his malice and madness? It is well surely.
