Saul's.
Thou, etc.
or, Thou perverse rebel.
Heb. Son of perverserebellion.
and unto the.This reflection on the mother of Jonathan, by the passionate monarch, reflects more dishonour on himself than on his brave and noble minded son.
Mungo Park gives an instance of the prevalence of the same principles in Africa; for he says, "Maternal affection is every where conspicuous among the Africans, and creates a correspondent return of tenderness in the child.
'Strike me,' said my attendant, 'but do not curse my mother.'
I found the same sentiment to prevail universally in all parts of Africa." King Saul, unable to villify Jonathan to his own satisfaction by personal reproaches, outstepped the ordinary abuse of his day, and proceeded to that which was designed to produce unusual vexation, and vented the bitterness of his mind by maligning the character of his own wife and Jonathan's mother.
 {v.30-31} to him his son’s being established was more than all of David’s glories. To him it was a shame to company with the true king. (1 Samuel 20 by H.L. Rossier)
