1 Samuel 18:27-30

27 se levantó David y se fue con sus hombres, y mató a doscientos hombres de entre los filisteos. Entonces David trajo sus prepucios y se los dio todos al rey a fin de ser yerno del rey. Y Saúl le dio a su hija Mical por mujer.

28 Cuando Saúl vio y comprendió que el SEÑOR estaba con David, y que Mical, hija de Saúl, lo amaba,

29 temió Saúl aún más a David. Y Saúl fue siempre enemigo de David.

30 Y salían los jefes de los filisteos a campaña, y sucedía que cada vez que salían, David se comportaba con más sabiduría que todos los siervos de Saúl, por lo cual su nombre era muy estimado.

1 Samuel 18:27-30 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 18

This chapter gives an account of the respect shown to David by Saul and Jonathan, by the servants of Saul, and all the people, and of what was said in his praise in the songs of the women, 1Sa 18:1-7; which latter gave Saul a great offence, and upon which he envied him, and eyed him, and indeed sought his life, and removed him from him; and yet still he continued the darling of the people, behaving wisely among them, which greatly embarrassed Saul, that be knew not what to do, 1Sa 18:8-16; he proposed his eldest daughter to him in marriage, which he had a claim to by killing the Philistine, and then he cheated him by giving her to another, 1Sa 18:17-19; and then he offered his youngest daughter to him, on condition that he would bring him an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, execution of which he thought his life would be exposed to danger, which yet he performed, 1Sa 18:20-27; and having the affection of his wife, and the good esteem of the servants of Saul, Saul was more afraid of him, and became his enemy, 1Sa 18:28-30.
