Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul,.... For notwithstanding the late victory over them, and slaughter made among them, they recovered themselves, and came out again to battle, and gave Saul a great deal of trouble, and he at last died in battle with them:

and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him; to be his bodyguard, as Josephus q says; or for soldiers and officers in his army, even such, as the same writer observes, that exceeded others in comeliness of person, and in largeness and height; such as were in some measure like himself, that were strong, able bodied men, and of courage, and valour, and fortitude of mind.

q Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 6. c. 6. sect. 5.)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 14:52. When Saul saw any strong man — This was very politic. He thus continued to recruit his army with strong and effective men.
