14. Here verse 6 is repeated, as if the
songster defied his foes and reveled in the thought of their futile search,
their malice, their disappointment, their rage, their defeated vigilance, their
wasted energy. He laughs to think that all the city would know how they were
deceived, and all Israel would ring with the story of the image and the goats’
hair in the bed. Nothing was more a subject of oriental merriment than a case in
which the crafty are deceived, and nothing more makes a man the object of
derision than to be outwitted by a woman, as in this instance Saul and his base
minions were by Michal.
