1 Samuel 19:8

8 Depois tornou a haver guerra; e saindo Davi, pelejou contra os filisteus, e os feriu com grande matança, e eles fugiram diante dele.

1 Samuel 19:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 19:8

And there was war again
Between Israel and the Philistines; it does not appear that either of them sent out their whole force, only some parties or detachments, between which there were skirmishes:

and David went out and fought with the Philistines;
he went out with his thousand men, over which he was made captain, ( 1 Samuel 18:13 ) ; for he had not the command of the whole army; that belonged to Abner:

and slew them with a great slaughter, and they fled from him;
he killed many of them in his engagements with them, and the rest fled, and he returned victorious; which stirred up the envy and increased the jealousy of Saul, to observe which this is related.

1 Samuel 19:8 In-Context

6 E Saul deu ouvidos � voz de Jônatas, e jurou: Como vive o Senhor, Davi não morrera.

7 Jônatas, pois, chamou a Davi, contou-lhe todas estas palavras, e o levou a Saul; e Davi o assistia como dantes.

8 Depois tornou a haver guerra; e saindo Davi, pelejou contra os filisteus, e os feriu com grande matança, e eles fugiram diante dele.

9 Então o espírito maligno da parte do Senhor veio sobre Saul, estando ele sentado em sua casa, e tendo na mão a sua lança; e Davi estava tocando a harpa.

10 E Saul procurou encravar a Davi na parede, porém ele se desviou de diante de Saul, que fincou a lança na parede. Então Davi fugiu, e escapou naquela mesma noite.
