Gill's Notes on the Bible
But he refused, and said, I will not eat,.... Choosing rather to die with famine than by the sword of the Philistines; though perhaps his meaning is, he could not eat, his stomach loathed it, being overwhelmed with grief and trouble:
but his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; not by force, but by arguments; they reasoned with him, and prevailed upon him to try to eat:
and he hearkened unto their voice; and agreed to eat, if he could;
so he arose from the earth; on which he lay at his full length:
and sat upon the bed; or couch, it being now the custom to recline on couches at caring; though some deny that this custom obtained so early.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The bed - Rather, “the bench†or divan, such as in the East still runs along the wall, furnished with cushions, for those who sit at meals Esther 1:6; Ezekiel 23:41.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 28:23. I will not eat. — It is no wonder that not only his strength, but also his appetite, had departed from him.
And sat upon the bed — Beds or couches were the common places on which the ancients sat to take their repasts.
