1 Samuel 20:12

Listen to 1 Samuel 20:12
12 Entonces Jonatán dijo a David: El SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, sea testigo. Cuando yo haya hablado con mi padre como a esta hora mañana, o al tercer día, he aquí, si hay buen ánimo para con David, ¿no habré de enviar a ti para hacértelo saber?

1 Samuel 20:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:12

And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord God of Israel
Or by the Lord God of Israel, I swear unto thee; for this is the form of the oath, as Jarchi and Kimchi observe:

when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, [or] the third
[day];
searched, inquired, and found out how his disposition is:

and, behold, [if there be] good toward David;
if he is well disposed to him, as may appear by speaking respectfully of him, or kindly inquiring after him, and by being satisfied with the account given him:

and I then send not unto thee, and show it thee;
then let the vengeance of God fall upon me in some remarkable manner or another, as follows; or "shall I not then send unto thee, and show it thee" F20? certainly I will; that is, I will send a messenger to thee to acquaint thee with it, who shall tell it, and cause thee to hear it, as from myself.


FOOTNOTES:

F20 (Kyla xlva za alw) "an non tune mitterem?" Junius & Tremellius; "nonne tunc mittam ad te?" so some in Vatablus.

1 Samuel 20:12 In-Context

10 David respondió a Jonatán: ¿Quién me avisará si tu padre te responde ásperamente?
11 Y Jonatán dijo a David: Ven, salgamos al campo. Y ambos salieron al campo.
12 Entonces Jonatán dijo a David: El SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, sea testigo. Cuando yo haya hablado con mi padre como a esta hora mañana, o al tercer día, he aquí, si hay buen ánimo para con David, ¿no habré de enviar a ti para hacértelo saber?
13 Si mi padre quiere hacerte mal, que así haga el SEÑOR a Jonatán y aun le añada si no te lo hago saber y te envío para que vayas en paz. Y que el SEÑOR sea contigo, como ha sido con mi padre.
14 Y si todavía vivo, ¿no me mostrarás la misericordia del SEÑOR, para que no muera?
