2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly : and there was not a man of the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward, he was higher than any of the people .
Heb. good, i. e. comely and personable, as that word is used, Gen. 6. 2. as evil is put for deformed, Gen. 41. 19.
A tall Stature was much valued in a King in Ancient Times, and in the Eastern Countries.
