Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
sent for him: Heb. took him, Proverbs 22:29, The preceding twenty verses, from the 1 Samuel 17:12, to the 1 Samuel 17:31, inclusive, the 1 Samuel 17:41, and from the 1 Samuel 17:54, to the end of this chapter, with the first 1 Samuel 18:1, and the 1 Samuel 18:9, 10th, 11th, 1 Samuel 18:17, 18th, and 19th, of chapter 18, are all wanting in the Vatican copy of the LXX; and they are supposed by Dr. Kennicott, and others, to be an interpolation. But, as Bp. Horsley observes, it appears, from many circumstances of the story, that David's combat with Goliath was many years prior to Saul's madness, and David's introduction to him as a musician. In the first place, David was quite a youth when he engaged with Goliath - 1 Samuel 17:33, and 1 Samuel 17:42. When introduced to Saul he was of full age - 1 Samuel 16:18. Again, this combat was his first appearance in public life, and his first military exploit - 1 Samuel 17:36, 1 Samuel 17:38, 1 Samuel 17:39. When introduced as a musician, he was a man of established character, and a man of war - 1 Samuel 16:18. Now the just conclusion is, that the last ten verses of 1 Samuel 16:14, have been misplaced; their true place being between the ninth and tenth verses of Joshua 18:9. Let them be removed there, and the whole apparent disorder will be removed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the words were heard which David spake,.... To one, and to another, and these reported to other persons, and so they went from one to another through many hands:
they rehearsed [them] before Saul; coming to the ears of some of his courtiers and counsellors, or officers about him, they told him what such an one had said:
and he sent for him; to his tent or pavilion where he was, to talk with him on this subject. The whole of 1 Samuel 17:11 is wanting in the Septuagint version, according to the Vatican exemplar; and these "twenty" verses are thought, by some e, to be an interpolation; and it must be owned there are difficulties in them, and that the connection of 1 Samuel 17:11 with the following is very clear and consistent, as also is 1 Samuel 17:50 left out in the same version; and likewise the last four of the chapter, 1 Samuel 17:55, and five with which the next begins, 1 Samuel 18:1.
