Contextual Overview

¹ Saul told his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David, but Jonathan liked David very much. ² So he warned David, "My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Watch out in the morning. Hide in a secret place. ³ I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are hiding, and I'll talk to him about you. Then I'll let you know what I find out." ⁴ When Jonathan talked to Saul his father, he said good things about David. Jonathan said, "The king should do no wrong to your servant David since he has done nothing wrong to you. What he has done has helped you greatly. ⁵ David risked his life when he killed Goliath the Philistine, and the Lord won a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and were happy. Why would you do wrong against David? He's innocent. There's no reason to kill him!" ⁶ Saul listened to Jonathan and then made this promise: "As surely as the Lord lives, David won't be put to death." ⁷ So Jonathan called to David and told him everything that had been said. He brought David to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan,.... Not only heard him out what he had to say, but was affected with it, and wrought upon by it, and was convicted for the present that he was wrong in seeking the life of David, and therefore would desist from it; the Lord working upon his mind by what Jonathan said, and inclined him to listen to it, and act accordingly:

and Saul sware, [as] the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain; this oath he added to what he said to Jonathan, for the confirmation of it; and which was taken either with a real intention to keep it, though that intention did not long continue; or with a view to deceive Jonathan, that he might acquaint David with it, and so prevent his flight and escape, and that he might the more easily fall into his hands; but the former seems rather to be the case.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 19:6. He shall not be slain. — In consequence of this oath, we may suppose he issued orders contrary to those which he had given the preceding day.
