1 Samuel 26:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:18

And he said, wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his
servant?
&c.] Suggesting that it was both below him to do it, and against his interest; for David was his servant, and he would gladly have continued in his service, and done his business, but he drove him from it, and pursued him as a traitor, when he had not been guilty of any offence to his knowledge: and therefore puts the following questions:

for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?
what crime had he committed, that he was pursued after this manner, and his life sought for? what had he done worthy of death? having a clear conscience, he could boldly ask these questions.

1 Samuel 26:18 In-Context

16 Não é bom isso que fizeste. Vive o Senhor, que sois dignos de morte, porque não guardastes a vosso senhor, o ungido do Senhor. Vede, pois, agora onde está a lança do rei, e a bilha d'água que estava � sua cabeceira.
17 Saul reconheceu a voz de Davi, e disse: Não é esta a tua voz, meu filho Davi? Respondeu Davi: E minha voz, ó rei, meu senhor.
18 Disse mais: Por que o meu senhor persegue tanto o seu servo? que fiz eu? e que maldade se acha na minha mão?
19 Ouve pois agora, ó rei, meu senhor, as palavras de teu servo: Se é o Senhor quem te incita contra mim, receba ele uma oferta; se, porém, são os filhos dos homens, malditos sejam perante o Senhor, pois eles me expulsaram hoje para que eu não tenha parte na herança do Senhor, dizendo: Vai, serve a outros deuses.
20 Agora, pois, não caia o meu sangue em terra fora da presença do Senhor; pois saiu o rei de Israel em busca duma pulga, como quem persegue uma perdiz nos montes.
