1 Samuel 29:4

Listen to 1 Samuel 29:4
4 Mas os chefes dos filisteus muito se indignaram contra ele, e disseram a Áquis: Faze voltar este homem para que torne ao lugar em que o puseste; não desça ele conosco � batalha, a fim de que não se torne nosso adversário no combate; pois, como se tornaria este agradável a seu senhor? porventura não seria com as cabeças destes homens?

1 Samuel 29:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 29:4

And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him
With Achish, for giving such a character of David, and taking his part, in order to detain him, if possible:

and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, make this fellow
return;
they speak of him with contempt, and insist on it that Achish order him to turn back, and go no further with them:

that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him;
to Ziklag, the place that Achish had given him for his residence, ( 1 Samuel 27:6 ) ; they did not desire to have him sent to his own country, and to Saul, since should a reconciliation be made between them, he would be of great service to Saul against them:

and let him not go down with us to battle;
into the valley of Jezreel, where the Israelites had pitched:

lest in the battle he be an adversary to us:
and fall upon them behind, being in the rear, while they were engaging in the front with Israel:

for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master?
to Saul he had offended, and fled from:

[should it] not [be] with the heads of these men?
the Philistines; or unless by the heads of these men F13; he had no other way of making his peace with his master but by cutting off the heads of the Philistines; and therefore he was a dangerous man to take with them into the battle.

1 Samuel 29:4 In-Context

2 Então os chefes dos filisteus se adiantaram com centenas e com milhares; e Davi e os seus homens iam com Áquis na retaguarda.
3 Perguntaram os chefes dos filisteus: que fazem aqui estes hebreus? Respondeu Áquis aos chefes dos filisteus: Não é este Davi, o servo de Saul, rei de Israel, que tem estado comigo alguns dias ou anos? e nenhuma culpa tenho achado nele desde o dia em que se revoltou, até o dia de hoje.
4 Mas os chefes dos filisteus muito se indignaram contra ele, e disseram a Áquis: Faze voltar este homem para que torne ao lugar em que o puseste; não desça ele conosco � batalha, a fim de que não se torne nosso adversário no combate; pois, como se tornaria este agradável a seu senhor? porventura não seria com as cabeças destes homens?
5 Este não é aquele Davi, a respeito de quem cantavam nas danças: Saul feriu os seus milhares, mas Davi os seus dez milhares?
6 Então Áquis chamou a Davi e disse-lhe: Como vive o Senhor, tu és reto, e a sua entrada e saída comigo no arraial é boa aos meus olhos, pois nenhum mal tenho achado em ti, desde o dia em que vieste ter comigo, até o dia de hoje; porém aos chefes não agradas.
