1 Samuel 18:2

2 Y Saúl lo tomó aquel día y no lo dejó volver a casa de su padre.

1 Samuel 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:2

And Saul took him that day
Not only into his favour, and into his service, but into his court; even on that very day he slew the Philistine, or however as soon as it could be done:

and would let him go no more home to his father's house;
as he used to do before; when he only served as a musician to him, then he was only at court when Saul was in a melancholy disposition, and wanted him, and so was going and returning, and in the intervals kept his father's sheep, ( 1 Samuel 17:15 ) ; but now he would not suffer him to attend such business any longer, since he was not only to become a courtier, and be made a prince or noble, but to marry his daughter, according to the declaration he had made, with respect to any man that should kill Goliath.

1 Samuel 18:2 In-Context

1 Y aconteció que cuando él acabó de hablar con Saúl, el alma de Jonatán quedó ligada al alma de David, y Jonatán lo amó como a sí mismo.

2 Y Saúl lo tomó aquel día y no lo dejó volver a casa de su padre.

3 Entonces Jonatán hizo un pacto con David, porque lo amaba como a sí mismo.

4 Jonatán se quitó el manto que llevaba puesto y se lo dio a David con sus ropas militares, incluyendo su espada, su arco y su cinturón.

5 Y salía David adondequiera que Saúl le enviaba, y prosperaba; y Saúl lo puso sobre hombres de guerra. Y esto fue agradable a los ojos de todo el pueblo y también a los ojos de los siervos de Saúl.
