1 Samuele 24:19

Listen to 1 Samuele 24:19
19 (H24-20) E, se alcuno trovasse il suo nemico, lo lascerebbe egli andare benignamente? Il Signore adunque ti renda del bene in iscambio di ciò che tu mi hai oggi fatto.

1 Samuele 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 24:19

For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away?
&c.] Or "in a good way" F5, in peace and safety, without doing him any hurt; this is not usual among men, and yet this was the present case; David had found his enemy Saul, which Saul tacitly owns, and yet had let him go well away from him, without hurting him:

wherefore the Lord reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me
this day;
he does not promise to reward him himself, but prays the Lord to reward him; and had he been sincere in it, he could not have done better for him. Some connect the former clause with this, after this manner, "if a man find his enemy, and let him go away, the Lord will reward him, the Lord reward thee" so the Syriac and Arabic versions.

17 (H24-18) E disse a Davide: Tu sei più giusto di me; perciocchè tu mi hai renduto bene per male; là dove io ti ho renduto male per bene.
18 (H24-19) E tu mi hai oggi fatto conoscere come tu sei sempre proceduto bene inverso me; conciossiachè il Signore mi avesse messo nelle tue mani; e pur tu non mi hai ucciso.
19 (H24-20) E, se alcuno trovasse il suo nemico, lo lascerebbe egli andare benignamente? Il Signore adunque ti renda del bene in iscambio di ciò che tu mi hai oggi fatto.
20 (H24-21) Ed ora, ecco, io so che per certo tu regnerai, e che il regno di Israele sarà fermo nelle tue mani.
21 (H24-22) Ora dunque giurami per lo Signore, che tu non distruggerai la mia progenie dopo me, e che tu non isterminerai il mio nome dalla famiglia di mio padre.
