Definitions for 1-samuel 19:11
Clarke's 1-samuel 19:11 Bible Commentary
To slay him in the morning - When they might be able to distinguish between him and Michal his wife; for, had they attempted his life in the night season, there would have been some danger to Michal's life. Besides, Saul wished to represent him as a traitor; and consequently an attack upon him was justifiable at any time, even in the fullest daylight.
Barnes's 1-samuel 19:11 Bible Commentary
Saul's plan was to surround the house at night, and to have David killed as soon as he came abroad unsuspectingly in the morning.
