撒母耳記上 24:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 24:13

As saith the proverb of the ancients
It is an old saying, has been long in use, and may be applied to the present case; or the "proverb of the ancient one"; of the oldest man, the first man Adam, and of all others after him, so Kimchi; or of the Ancient One of the world, the Ancient of days, the Lord himself; so in the Talmud F4: wickedness proceedeth from the wicked;
as is a man, so are his actions; if he is a wicked man, he will do wicked things; a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruits, an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil things; and as if David should say, if I had been the wicked man as I am represented, I should have committed wickedness; I should have made no conscience of taking away thy life when it was in my power; but my heart would not suffer me to do it: but,
or "and" my hand shall not be upon thee;
as it has not been upon thee, because of the fear of God in me, so neither shall it be hereafter: or the sense of the proverb may be, the wickedness that comes from a wicked man, that will kill him, or be the cause of his ruin, or he will be slain by wicked men such as himself; and this may be thy case, O king, unless thou repentest: but be that as it may, which I leave with the righteous Judge, this I am determined on, "mine hand shall not be upon thee"; to take away thy life.

撒母耳記上 24:13 In-Context

11 我 父 啊 , 看 看 你 外 袍 的 衣 襟 在 我 手 中 。 我 割 下 你 的 衣 襟 , 沒 有 殺 你 ; 你 由 此 可 以 知 道 我 沒 有 惡 意 叛 逆 你 。 你 雖 然 獵 取 我 的 命 , 我 卻 沒 有 得 罪 你 。
12 願 耶 和 華 在 你 我 中 間 判 斷 是 非 , 在 你 身 上 為 我 伸 冤 , 我 卻 不 親 手 加 害 於 你 。
13 古 人 有 句 俗 語 說 : 惡 事 出 於 惡 人 。 我 卻 不 親 手 加 害 於 你 。
14 以 色 列 王 出 來 要 尋 找 誰 呢 ? 追 趕 誰 呢 ? 不 過 追 趕 一 條 死 狗 , 一 個 虼 蚤 就 是 了 。
15 願 耶 和 華 在 你 我 中 間 施 行 審 判 , 斷 定 是 非 , 並 且 鑒 察 , 為 我 伸 冤 , 救 我 脫 離 你 的 手 。
