1 Samuel 26:24

24 He aquí, como tu vida fue preciosa ante mis ojos hoy, así sea preciosa mi vida ante los ojos del SEÑOR, y que El me libre de toda aflicción.

1 Samuel 26:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:24

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine
eyes
Or "magnified" ^F25; and made great account of, as being the life of the king of Israel, and the Lord's anointed, and so spared:

so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord;
he does not say in the eyes of Saul, as it should have been by way of retaliation, and as it might have been expected he would have said; but he had no dependence on Saul, nor expected justice to be done him by him; but he prays that his life might be precious in the sight of Lord, and taken care of, and protected by him, as he believed it would:

and let him deliver me out of all tribulation;
for as yet he did not think himself quite out of it, notwithstanding all that Saul had said, but believed the Lord would deliver him in due time; from him alone he looked for it, and on him he depended.

1 Samuel 26:24 In-Context

22 Respondió David, y dijo: He aquí la lanza del rey. Que pase acá uno de los jóvenes y la recoja.

23 El SEÑOR pagará a cada uno según su justicia y su fidelidad; pues el SEÑOR te entregó hoy en mi mano, pero yo no quise extender mi mano contra el ungido del SEÑOR.

24 He aquí, como tu vida fue preciosa ante mis ojos hoy, así sea preciosa mi vida ante los ojos del SEÑOR, y que El me libre de toda aflicción.

25 Y Saúl dijo a David: Bendito seas, David, hijo mío; ciertamente harás grandes cosas y prevalecerás. David siguió por su camino y Saúl se volvió a su lugar.
