1 Samuel 30:8

Listen to 1 Samuel 30:8
8 Y David consultó al SEÑOR, diciendo: ¿Perseguiré a esta banda? ¿Podré alcanzarlos? Y El le respondió: Persíguelos, porque de cierto los alcanzarás y sin duda rescatarás a todos.

1 Samuel 30:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:8

And David inquired of the Lord
That is, by Abiathar, who reported his questions to the Lord in his name:

saying, shall I pursue after this troop?
the large company of the Amalekites, as it appears by what follows they were:

shall I overtake them?
two questions are here put together, and answers returned to them, contrary to a notion of the Jews; (See Gill on 1 Samuel 23:11);

and he answered him, pursue;
which respects the first question:

for thou shall surely overtake [them];
which is an answer to the second question, and a full one, giving full assurance of overtaking; to which is added more than what was inquired about;

and without fail recover [all];
their wives, sons, and daughters, and the spoil that was taken; or "in delivering thou shall deliver" F16, out of the hands of the Amalekites, whatsoever they had taken.

1 Samuel 30:8 In-Context

6 Y David estaba muy angustiado porque la gente hablaba de apedrearlo, pues todo el pueblo estaba amargado, cada uno a causa de sus hijos y de sus hijas. Mas David se fortaleció en el SEÑOR su Dios.
7 Entonces dijo David al sacerdote Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec: Te ruego que me traigas el efod. Y Abiatar llevó el efod a David.
8 Y David consultó al SEÑOR, diciendo: ¿Perseguiré a esta banda? ¿Podré alcanzarlos? Y El le respondió: Persíguelos, porque de cierto los alcanzarás y sin duda rescatarás a todos.
9 Partió, pues, David, él y los seiscientos hombres que estaban con él, y llegaron hasta el torrente Besor, donde se quedaron algunos rezagados.
10 Pero David siguió adelante, él y cuatrocientos hombres, porque doscientos, que estaban demasiado fatigados para cruzar el torrente Besor, se quedaron atrás.
