SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:22
Te ruego, pues, que tú también oigas la voz de tu sierva; pondré yo delante de ti un bocado de pan que comas, para que te esfuerces, y vayas tu camino.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid , etc.] She argues, that as she had hearkened unto him to the endangering of her life, it was but reasonable, and might be expected, that he would hearken to her in a case that would be to the preservation of his life: and let me set a morsel of bread before thee, and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way ; which she might urge, not merely out of respect to the king, but for her own sake, lest should he die in her house, she might be taken up, not only for a witch, but as being accessory to the death of the king; and therefore she moves, that he would take some food for refreshment of nature, that he might be able to depart her house, and go on his way to his army.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-25 - Those that expect any good counsel or comfort, otherwise than from God and in the way of his institutions, will be as wretchedly disappointe as Saul. Though terrified even to despair, he was not humbled. He confessed not his sins, offered no sacrifices, and presented n supplications. He does not seem to have cared about his sons or his people, or to have attempted any escape; but in sullen despair he rushed upon his doom. God sets up a few such beacons, to warn men no to stifle convictions, or despise his word. But while one repentin thought remains, let no sinner suppose himself in this case. Let his humble himself before God, determined to live and die beseeching his favour, and he will succeed __________________________________________________________________
