Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of Israel said,.... To one another:
have ye seen this man that is come up? taken notice of him, and observed him?
surely to defy Israel is he come up; to challenge them to fight with him, and upbraid them with cowardice that they did not:
and it shall be [that] the man who killeth him; this, and what follows, they said to encourage any person to engage with him, though none of them cared to encounter him themselves:
the king will enrich him with great riches; give him a large gratuity, make a present of a great sum of money to him:
and will give him his daughter to be his wife, in like manner as Caleb promised to give his daughter in marriage to the person that should take Kirjathsepher, Judges 1:12;
and make his father's house free in Israel; from all tributes, taxes, levies, impositions, king's service, and duty; or, as the Targum,
"make his father's house freemen, nobles;''
raise it to the rank of nobility.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Free in Israel - In all the other passages (fifteen) where this word occurs, it means free, as opposed to being a slave (Deuteronomy 15:12-13, Deuteronomy 15:18, etc.) Here it may imply a freedom from all such services and burdens as are spoken of in 1 Samuel 8:11-17.
