1 Kings — Chapter 24
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 5
A tender conscience had scruple of a small doubt which was no sinne: a large conscience sticketh at nothing.
Verse 7
Saul being annointed King by Gods appointment, could not lawfully be slaine by his subiects without like ordinance from God. For though Dauid was also already annointed, yet that was not to reigne presently, but when Saul should die, or otherwise be taken away.
