Haydock's commentary
Day. Hebrew, "In two thou shalt," &c. (Calmet)
Protestants, "in the one of the twain," Merob or Michol. (Haydock)
Saul had deceived him with respect to the first; but he promises that he shall have "the second," (Calmet) or two motives induced the king to make him this offer, the victory over Goliath, and the slaughter of 100 Philistines. (Menochius; Tirinus)
The Septuagint omit this sentence, and read, "And the hand of the Philistines was upon Saul, and Saul commended," &c.
Haydock wrote amid the controversies of his day. The Church teaches that those born into communities separated from her cannot be charged with the sin of separation, and embraces them as brothers (CCC 818).
