1 Samuel 17:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:33

And Saul said to David, thou art not able to go against this
Philistine to fight with him
Had neither strength of body, nor skill in military affairs, to encounter with a man of his stature, and warlike genius and practice:

for thou [art but] a youth;
some say about fourteen or sixteen years of age, but very probably about twenty, and not more, and so not only weak, but inexpert in the art of fighting:

and he a man of war from his youth;
a gigantic man, trained up in, inured to, and expert in the affairs of war; so that David could not, on any account, be a competitor with him, and a match for him.

1 Samuel 17:33 In-Context

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.
34 Pero David respondió a Saúl: Tu siervo apacentaba las ovejas de su padre, y cuando un león o un oso venía y se llevaba un cordero del rebaño,
35 yo salía tras él, lo atacaba, y lo rescataba de su boca; y cuando se levantaba contra mí, lo tomaba por la quijada, lo hería y lo mataba.
