The Key Word — מְאֹ֗ד, me.'Odgenerated
The word מְאֹ֗ד (me'od) is an adverb meaning 'exceedingly' or 'very much'. It intensifies the emotion being expressed, indicating that Saul's anger is not just strong but exceedingly so. This word is often used in the Hebrew Bible to emphasize the degree of an action or feeling.
In this verse, it emphasizes the depth of Saul's fury, indicating that his anger is not a mild irritation but a burning rage. The parsing shows it functioning as an adverb, modifying the verb וַיִּ֨חַר (vai.Yi.char), which means 'he was furious'.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is וַיִּ֨חַר (vai.Yi.char), meaning 'and he was furious', which sets the emotional tone of the sentence. This verb governs the subsequent clauses that explain Saul's feelings and thoughts.
The structure includes a prepositional phrase לְשָׁא֜וּל (le.sha.'Ul), identifying Saul as the subject of the anger, followed by a series of clauses that elaborate on his displeasure with the song and his thoughts about David's rising status.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb וַיֵּ֤רַע (vai.Ye.ra') is rendered as πονηρὸν (ponēron), which means 'evil' or 'wicked'. This choice highlights the moral dimension of Saul's displeasure, suggesting that his anger is not just a personal affront but carries a deeper ethical implication.
The use of πονηρὸν reflects an interpretation that connects Saul's emotional response to a broader theme of moral failing, contrasting with David's rising favor.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Samuel 18:8 shows Saul becoming very angry when he hears the women sing about David's victories. He feels that they have praised David more than him, which makes him question what else David could want besides the kingship. This highlights Saul's jealousy and insecurity as the king of Israel.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Saul was angry because the song praised David for slaying tens of thousands while only attributing thousands to him, which made him feel threatened and insecure about his kingship.
Saul's reaction reveals his jealousy and insecurity, showing that he was more concerned about his status and reputation than the well-being of Israel.
This moment foreshadows the growing conflict between Saul and David, as Saul's jealousy leads to a series of attempts to undermine and eliminate David.
Saul's response teaches us about the dangers of jealousy and pride, and how they can lead to destructive behavior and decisions.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways can jealousy affect our relationships with others?
- How can we guard against feelings of insecurity in our own lives?
- What steps can we take to celebrate the successes of others rather than feeling threatened?
- How does Saul's story encourage us to reflect on our own reactions to competition or praise?

And Saul was very wroth.] But without cause: for, as Chrysostom observeth, the women ascribed to Saul more than he deserved, - for he suffered the Philistine to vaunt himself forty days together, and yet cowardly sat still, - and to David less than was his due: but that they ascribed anything to him, was not his doing, or desire; as Saul might very well gather by his modest behaving himself all along.

1. Name and Meaning:
The name Saul is usually regarded as simply the passive participle of the verb "to ask," and so meaning "asked" (compare 1Sa 8:4 ff), but the gentilic adjective sha'uli (
Saul
Asked for. (1.) A king of Edom (Gen. 36:37, 38); called Shaul in 1 Chr. 1:48.
(2.) The son of Kish (probably his only son, and a child of prayer, “asked for”), of the tribe of Benjamin, the first king of the Jewish nation. The singular providential circumstances connected with his election as king are recorded in 1 Sam. 8-10. His father’s she-asses had strayed, and Saul was sent with a servant to seek for them. Leaving his home at Gibeah (10:5, “the hill of God,” A.V.; lit., as in R.V. marg., “Gibeah of God”), Saul and his servant went toward the north-west over Mount Ephraim, and then turning north-east they came to “the land of Shalisha,” and thence eastward to the land of Shalim, and at length came to the district of Zuph, near Samuel’s home at Ramah (9:5-10). At this point…
(desired), more accurately Shaul. One of the early kings of Edom, and successor of Samlah. (Genesis 36:37,38; 1 Chronicles 1:48) (B.C. after 1450.) The first king of Israel, the son of Kish, and of the tribe of Benjamin. (B.C, 1095-1055.) His character is in part illustrated by the fierce, wayward, fitful nature of the tribe and in part accounted for by the struggle between the old and new systems in which he found himself involved. To this we must add a taint of madness. which broke out in violent frenzy at times leaving him with long lucid intervals. He was remarkable for his strength and activity, (2 Samuel 1:25) and, like the Homeric heroes, of gigantic stature, taller by head and shoulders than the rest of the people, and…
The son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, the first king of the Israelites, anointed by Samuel, B. C. 1091, and after a reign of forty years filled with various events, slain with his sons on Mount Gilboa. He was succeeded by David, who was his son-in-law, and whom he had endeavored to put to death. His history is contained in 1Sa 10:1-31:13. It is a sad and admonitory narrative. The morning of his reign was bright with special divine favors, both providential, and spiritual, 1Sa 9:20 10:1-11,24,25. But he soon began to disobey God, and was rejected as unworthy to found a line of kings; his sins and misfortunes multiplied, and his sun went down in gloom. In his first war with the Ammonites, God was with him; but then follow his presumptuous sacrifice, in the absence of Samuel…

Beloved, the eighth and youngest son of Jesse, a citizen of Bethlehem. His father seems to have been a man in humble life. His mother’s name is not recorded. Some think she was the Nahash of 2 Sam. 17:25. As to his personal appearance, we only know that he was red-haired, with beautiful eyes and a fair face (1 Sam. 16:12; 17:42).
His early occupation was that of tending his father’s sheep on the uplands of Judah. From what we know of his after history, doubtless he frequently beguiled his time, when thus engaged, with his shepherd’s flute, while he drank in the many lessons taught him by the varied scenes spread around him. His first recorded exploits were his encounters with the wild beasts of the field. He mentions that with his own unaided hand he slew a lion and also a…
(well-beloved), the son of Jesse. His life may be divided into three portions: His youth before his introduction to the court of Saul; His relations with Saul; His reign. The early life of David contains in many important respects the antecedents of his future career. It appears that David was the youngest son, probably the youngest child, of a family of ten, and was born in Bethlehem B.C. 1085. The first time that David appears in history at once admits us to the whole family circle. The annual sacrificial feast is being held when Samuel appears, sent by God to anoint one of Jesse’s sons as they pass before him, (1 Samuel 16:6-10) Samuel sends for the youngest, David, who was "keeping the sheep," and anoints him. (1 Samuel 16:11-13) As David stood before Samuel we are enabled to…
Beloved, the youngest son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah, born in Bethlehem B. C. 1085; one of the most remarkable men in either sacred of secular history. His life is fully recorded in 1Sa 16:1 1Ki 2:46. He was "the Lord’s anointed," chosen by God to be king of Israel instead of Saul, and consecrated to that office by the venerable prophet Samuel long before he actually came to the throne, 1Sa 16:1-13, for which God prepared him by the gift of his Spirit, and a long course of vicissitudes and dangers. In his early pastoral life he distinguished himself by his boldness, fidelity, and faith in God; and while yet a youth was summoned to court, as one expert in music, valiant, prudent in behavior, and comely in person.
