18 E tu mostraste hoje que procedeste bem para comigo, por isso que, havendo-me o Senhor entregado na tua mão, não me mataste.

1 Samuel 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 24:18

And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well
with me
The cutting off of the skirt of his robe only, when his life was in his hand, was a clear proof and full demonstration of his dealing well with him, and might sufficiently convince him he had no ill design upon him: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou
killedst me not;
this was a plain proof and evidence of his kindness to him, which he owns, and also the providence of God in this affair, which had delivered him into the hands of David; by which he might see the Lord was for David, and against him, and might have deterred him from seeking David's hurt hereafter; but it did not.

1 Samuel 24:18 In-Context

16 Acabando Davi de falar a Saul todas estas palavras, perguntou Saul: E esta a tua voz, meu filho Davi? Então Saul levantou a voz e chorou.

17 E disse a Davi: Tu és mais justo do que eu, pois me recompensaste com bem, e eu te recompensei com mal.

18 E tu mostraste hoje que procedeste bem para comigo, por isso que, havendo-me o Senhor entregado na tua mão, não me mataste.

19 Pois, quem há que, encontrando o seu inimigo, o deixará ir o seu caminho? O Senhor, pois, te pague com bem, pelo que hoje me fizeste.

20 Agora, pois, sei que certamente hás de reinar, e que o reino de Israel há de se firmar na tua mão.
