"And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening,.... Twice a day he came near the camp, within the hearing of it. The Jews (w) say, he took those seasons on
purpose to disturb them in reading their "Shema", or "hear, O Israel", &c. and saying their prayers morning and evening: and presented himself forty days; Successively, before the armies of Israel, daring them to send down a man to fight with him, and reproaching them for their cowardice in not doing it. (w) T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 42. 2.
