1 Samuel 20:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:28

And Jonathan answered Saul
In reply to Saul's question, and to excuse David, he said,

David earnestly asked [leave] of me [to go] to Bethlehem;
his own city, his native place, where his family lived, whom he was desirous to see, and yet chose not to go without asking leave; and as Saul was not at home, he asked leave of Jonathan, who was next to him, and acted for him; and he was very pressing and importunate in his suit, and therefore Jonathan could not well deny him it; and he hoped this would ben sufficient excuse for his absence, especially when what follows should be observed.

1 Samuel 20:28 In-Context

26 Entretanto Saul não disse nada naquele dia, pois dizia consigo: Aconteceu-lhe alguma coisa pela qual não está limpo; certamente não está limpo.
27 Sucedeu também no dia seguinte, o segundo da lua nova, que o lugar de Davi ficou vazio. Perguntou, pois, Saul a Jônatas, seu filho: Por que o filho de Jessé não veio comer nem ontem nem hoje?
28 Respondeu Jônatas a Saul: Davi pediu-me encarecidamente licença para ir a Belém,
29 dizendo: Peço-te que me deixes ir, porquanto a nossa parentela tem um sacrifício na cidade, e meu irmão ordenou que eu fosse; se, pois, agora tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, peço-te que me deixes ir, para ver a meus irmãos. Por isso não veio � mesa do rei.
30 Então se acendeu a ira de Saul contra Jônatas, e ele lhe disse: Filho da perversa e rebelde! Não sei eu que tens escolhido a filho de Jessé para vergonha tua, e para vergonha de tua mãe?
