4 ellos te saludarán y te darán dos tortas de pan, las cuales recibirás de sus manos.

1 Samuel 10:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:4

And they will salute thee
Not as king, of which they knew nothing, but in a common way; and though a stranger and unknown to them, yet finding their hearts disposed and affected towards him, would inquire of his welfare, and wish him all happiness, peace, and prosperity:

and give thee two [loaves] of bread;
which was pretty much that they should give him two out of three, and leave but one for themselves, and especially if they were going to sacrifice; but perhaps they knew they could buy more bread at Bethel, and so were disposed to give two of their loaves to Saul, one for himself and another for his servant; though Kimchi thinks that these are not the same before called loaves; and indeed the word "loaves" is not in the text, but cakes of bread, which were lesser than loaves, and which they carried for their own use, besides three loaves of bread:

which thou shall receive of their hands;
being sent out by Samuel early that morning without eating any food, and having travelled some miles, might become weary and faint, and which the three men might discern, and so had compassion on them, and relieved them; and Saul was not to refuse the offer of them, but take them at their hands, though he was anointed to be king; and this was to teach him humility, and to be kind to the poor and needy, and relieve them when he was in more elevated circumstances. All these actions also were contingent, and when they came to pass, as they did, must be still more confirming than the former sign.

1 Samuel 10:4 In-Context

2 Cuando te apartes hoy de mí, hallarás a dos hombres cerca del sepulcro de Raquel, en el territorio de Benjamín, en Selsa, y te dirán: "Las asnas que fuiste a buscar han sido halladas. Y he aquí, tu padre ha dejado de preocuparse por las asnas y está angustiado por vosotros, diciendo: '¿Qué haré en cuanto a mi hijo?'"

3 De allí seguirás más adelante, llegarás hasta la encina de Tabor, y allí te encontrarás con tres hombres que suben a Dios en Betel, uno llevando tres cabritos, otro llevando tres tortas de pan y otro llevando un odre de vino;

4 ellos te saludarán y te darán dos tortas de pan, las cuales recibirás de sus manos.

5 Después llegarás a la colina de Dios donde está la guarnición de los filisteos; y sucederá que cuando llegues a la ciudad, allá encontrarás a un grupo de profetas que descienden del lugar alto con arpa, pandero, flauta y lira delante de ellos, y estarán profetizando.

6 Entonces el Espíritu del SEÑOR vendrá sobre ti con gran poder, profetizarás con ellos y serás cambiado en otro hombre.
