1 Samuel 18:2

2 E desde aquele dia Saul o reteve, não lhe permitindo voltar para a casa de seu pai.

1 Samuel 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:2

And Saul took him that day
Not only into his favour, and into his service, but into his court; even on that very day he slew the Philistine, or however as soon as it could be done:

and would let him go no more home to his father's house;
as he used to do before; when he only served as a musician to him, then he was only at court when Saul was in a melancholy disposition, and wanted him, and so was going and returning, and in the intervals kept his father's sheep, ( 1 Samuel 17:15 ) ; but now he would not suffer him to attend such business any longer, since he was not only to become a courtier, and be made a prince or noble, but to marry his daughter, according to the declaration he had made, with respect to any man that should kill Goliath.

1 Samuel 18:2 In-Context

1 Ora, acabando Davi de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas ligou-se com a alma de Davi; e Jônatas o amou como � sua própria alma.

2 E desde aquele dia Saul o reteve, não lhe permitindo voltar para a casa de seu pai.

3 Então Jônatas fez um pacto com Davi, porque o amava como � sua própria vida.

4 E Jônatas se despojou da capa que vestia, e a deu a Davi, como também a sua armadura, e até mesmo a sua espada, o seu arco e o seu cinto.

5 E saía Davi aonde quer que Saul o enviasse, e era sempre bem sucedido; e Saul o pôs sobre a gente de guerra, e isso pareceu bem aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
