1 Samuel 16:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 16:22

And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, let David, I pray thee, stand
before me
Continue in his service; which was great condescension in him, and great respect shown to Jesse, not to detain his son without his leave, and to ask it as a favour of him:

for he hath found favour in my sight:
was very acceptable to him which must be very pleasing to Jesse to hear; especially if he was in any fear that Saul had an ill design upon him, when he first sent for him.

1 Samuel 16:22 In-Context

20 Yishai took a donkey [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Sha'ul.

21 David came to Sha'ul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.

22 Sha'ul sent to Yishai, saying, Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight.

23 It happened, when the [evil] spirit from God was on Sha'ul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Sha'ul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
