1 Samuel 20:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:34

So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger
Resenting his father's attempt to smite him, and his resolution to slay David:

and did eat no meat the second day of the month;
not then at that meal he was just sat down to, nor at another time that day, his stomach was so full through indignation at his father, and grief for his friend David; and besides, being a mourner on the above accounts, he might not eat of the sacrifices:

for he was grieved for David;
that his death should be determined upon by his father, and he in so much danger of it; as also that he himself must be parted from and lose so dear a friend, which was one reason he ate no meat that day: and another follows,

because his father had done him shame;
the copulative "and" being wanting; and this he did by calling him a perverse and rebellious son, and representing him as an arrant fool, and particularly by casting a javelin at him to smite him.

1 Samuel 20:34 In-Context

32 Pero Jonatán respondió a su padre Saúl, y le dijo: ¿Por qué ha de morir? ¿Qué ha hecho?

33 Entonces Saúl le arrojó la lanza para matarlo; así Jonatán supo que su padre había decidido matar a David.

34 Jonatán se levantó de la mesa ardiendo en ira y no comió pan el segundo día de la luna nueva, pues estaba entristecido por David, porque su padre le había afrentado.

35 A la mañana siguiente Jonatán salió al campo para reunirse con David, y un muchacho pequeño iba con él.

36 Y dijo al muchacho: Corre, busca ahora las saetas que voy a tirar. Y mientras el muchacho corría, tiró una saeta más allá de él.
