1 Samuel 17:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:23

And as he talked with them
About their health, and the errand he came upon, and the message of his father to them, and how it was with him, who sent them his best wishes:

behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by
name:
of whom see ( 1 Samuel 17:4 ) ; he came out of the valley, and drew near to the mountain the Israelites were descending:

out of the armies of the Philistines:
from the plains where they were encamped, as Kimchi, though they seem to have been encamped on a mountain as the Israelites were; or from the ranks of the Philistines; according to the marginal reading, he came out of one of the battalions that were set in array:

and spake according to the same words;
which he had spoken time after time forty days successively, namely, what is expressed ( 1 Samuel 17:8-10 ) ;

and David heard [them];
and observed them.

1 Samuel 17:23 In-Context

21 Os israelitas e os filisteus se punham em ordem de batalha, fileira contra fileira.

22 E Davi, deixando na mão do guarda da bagagem a carga que trouxera, correu �s fileiras; e, chegando, perguntou a seus irmãos se estavam bem.

23 Enquanto ainda falava com eles, eis que veio subindo do exército dos filisteus o campeão, cujo nome era Golias, o filisteu de Gate, e falou conforme aquelas palavras; e Davi as ouviu.

24 E todos os homens de Israel, vendo aquele homem, fugiam, de diante dele, tomados de pavor.

25 Diziam os homens de Israel: Vistes aquele homem que subiu? pois subiu para desafiar a Israel. Ao homem, pos, que o matar, o rei cumulará de grandes riquezas, e lhe dará a sua filha, e fará livre a casa de seu pai em Israel.
