And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward.

And they ran and brought him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.

And they run and bring him thence, and he stationed himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any of the people from his shoulder and upward.

So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.

And so they ran and brought him there. And he stood in the midst of the people, and he was taller than the entire people, from the shoulders upward.

And they ran and fetched him thence,.... Being in haste to see their king elect, and proclaim him:
and when he stood among the people; being brought among them, and presented to them:
he was higher than any of the people, from the shoulders, and upwards; which made him look very graceful and majestic; height of stature, and a comely form, as Kimchi observes, recommend to royal dignity; and make the people stand more in awe of a prince, and have always been reckoned among all other nations to make a prince venerable; see Gill on 1-Samuel 9:2.
