Shmuel Alef 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:29

And Saul was yet the more afraid of David
Because the Lord was with him, and his wife loved him; so that he feared he should never be able to accomplish his designs, and that this marriage, which he intended as the means of his ruin, would pave the way for his ascending the throne:

and Saul became David's enemy continually;
was every day giving fresh evidence of his enmity against him; before it was by fits, and at certain times, there were some intervals; but now enmity was rooted and habituated, and was constant and continually showing itself.

Shmuel Alef 18:29 In-Context

27 Wherefore Dovid arose and went, he and his anashim, and slaughtered of the Pelishtim (Philistines) two hundred ish; and Dovid brought their arelot, and they gave them in full count to HaMelech, that he might be the Choson of HaMelech. And Sha’ul gave him Michal bitto as isha.

28 And Sha’ul saw and knew that Hashem was with Dovid, and that Michal Bat Sha’ul loved him.

29 And Sha’ul was yet the more afraid of Dovid; and Sha’ul became oyev to Dovid kol hayamim.

30 Then the sarim of the Pelishtim went forth [to fight]; and it came to pass, after they went forth, that Dovid prospered [in military success] more than all the avadim (officers) of Sha’ul; so that shmo became esteemed as of good reputation.
