1 Samuel 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:13

Therefore Saul removed him from him
From court, partly that he might be out of his sight, having such an hatred of his person that he could not bear to see him, and partly that he might be safer from any designs of his upon his life, which he might fear, because of his treatment of him:

and made him his captain over a thousand;
not out of respect to him, and in honour of him, but partly to cover his malice, and please the people, and partly in hope that he might be slain by the enemy at the head of his troop:

and he went out and came in before the people;
or at the head of them, as the Targum; he led them out to war, and returned with them in safety, with victory and in triumph, with great honour, and highly respected by them; quite contrary to the intention and hope of Saul.

11 Saúl se la arrojó, pensando: «¡A este lo clavo en la pared!» Dos veces lo intentó, pero David logró esquivar la lanza.

12 Saúl sabía que el SEÑOR lo había abandonado, y que ahora estaba con David. Por eso tuvo temor de David

13 y lo alejó de su presencia, nombrándolo jefe de mil soldados para que dirigiera al ejército en campaña.

14 David tuvo éxito en todas sus expediciones, porque el SEÑOR estaba con él.

15 Al ver el éxito de David, Saúl se llenó de temor.
