1 Samuel 17:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:31

And when the words were heard which David spake
To one, and to another, and these reported to other persons, and so they went from one to another through many hands:

they rehearsed [them] before Saul;
coming to the ears of some of his courtiers and counsellors, or officers about him, they told him what such an one had said:

and he sent for him;
to his tent or pavilion where he was, to talk with him on this subject. The whole of ( 1 Samuel 17:11-31 ) is wanting in the Septuagint version, according to the Vatican exemplar; and these "twenty" verses are thought, by some ^F5, to be an interpolation; and it must be owned there are difficulties in them, and that the connection of ( 1 Samuel 17:11 ) with the following is very clear and consistent, as also is ( 1 Samuel 17:50 ) left out in the same version; and likewise the last four of the chapter, ( 1 Samuel 17:55-58 ) , and five with which the next begins, ( 1 Samuel 18:1-5 ) .

1 Samuel 17:31 In-Context

29 Pero David respondió: ¿Qué he hecho yo ahora? ¿No fue sólo una pregunta?

30 Entonces se apartó de su lado hacia otro y preguntó lo mismo; y el pueblo respondió lo mismo que antes.

31 Cuando se supieron las palabras que David había hablado, se lo dijeron a Saúl, y él lo hizo venir.

32 Y dijo David a Saúl: No se desaliente el corazón de nadie a causa de él; tu siervo irá y peleará con este filisteo.

33 Entonces Saúl dijo a David: Tú no puedes ir contra este filisteo a pelear con él, porque tú eres un muchacho y él ha sido un guerrero desde su juventud.
