1 Samuele 17:25

Listen to 1 Samuele 17:25
25 E gl’Israeliti dicevano: Avete voi veduto quell’uomo che si fa avanti? certo, egli si fa avanti per far vituperio ad Israele; perciò, se alcuno lo percuote, il re lo farà grandemente ricco, e gli darà la sua figliuola, e farà franca la casa di suo padre in Israele.

1 Samuele 17:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:25

And the men of Israel said
To one another:

have ye seen this man that is come up?
taken notice of him, and observed him?

surely to defy Israel is he come up;
to challenge them to fight with him, and upbraid them with cowardice that they did not:

and it shall be [that] the man who killeth him;
this, and what follows, they said to encourage any person to engage with him, though none of them cared to encounter him themselves:

the king will enrich him with great riches;
give him a large gratuity, make a present of a great sum of money to him:

and will give him his daughter to be his wife,
in like manner as Caleb promised to give his daughter in marriage to the person that should take Kirjathsepher, ( Judges 1:12 ) ;

and make his father's house free in Israel;
from all tributes, taxes, levies, impositions, king's service, and duty; or, as the Targum,

``make his father's house freemen, nobles;''

raise it to the rank of nobility.

1 Samuele 17:25 In-Context

23 Ora, mentre egli parlava con loro, ecco, quell’uomo che si presentava all’abbattimento, il cui nome era Goliat il Filisteo, da Gat, si mosse d’infra le schiere de’ Filistei, e proferì le medesime parole; e Davide l’udì.
24 E tutti gl’Israeliti, quando vedevano quell’uomo, se ne fuggivano dal suo cospetto, ed aveano gran paura.
25 E gl’Israeliti dicevano: Avete voi veduto quell’uomo che si fa avanti? certo, egli si fa avanti per far vituperio ad Israele; perciò, se alcuno lo percuote, il re lo farà grandemente ricco, e gli darà la sua figliuola, e farà franca la casa di suo padre in Israele.
26 E Davide disse agli uomini che erano quivi presenti con lui: Che si farà egli a quell’uomo che avrà percosso questo Filisteo, ed avrà tolto questo vituperio d’addosso ad Israele? perciocchè, chi è questo Filisteo incirconciso ch’egli schernisca le schiere dell’Iddio vivente?
27 E la gente gli disse quelle stesse cose, dicendo: Così si farà a quell’uomo che l’avrà percosso.
