 * evil spirit.
   The evil spirit was either sent immediately from the Lord, or
   permitted to come; but whether this was a diabolic possession,
   or a mere mental malady, is not agreed:  it seems to have
   partaken of both.  That Saul had fallen into a deep
   melancholy, there is little doubt; and that an evil spirit
   might work more effectually on such a state of mind, there can
   be little question.  His malady appears to have been of a
   mixed kind, natural and diabolical:  there is too much of
   apparent nature in it to permit us to believe it was all
   spiritual; and there is too much of apparently supernatural
   influence, to suffer us to believe it was all natural.
