1 Samuel 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:13

Therefore Saul removed him from him
From court, partly that he might be out of his sight, having such an hatred of his person that he could not bear to see him, and partly that he might be safer from any designs of his upon his life, which he might fear, because of his treatment of him:

and made him his captain over a thousand;
not out of respect to him, and in honour of him, but partly to cover his malice, and please the people, and partly in hope that he might be slain by the enemy at the head of his troop:

and he went out and came in before the people;
or at the head of them, as the Targum; he led them out to war, and returned with them in safety, with victory and in triumph, with great honour, and highly respected by them; quite contrary to the intention and hope of Saul.

13 Lo apartó, pues, Saúl de sí, y le hizo capitán de mil; y salía y entraba delante del pueblo

14 Y David se conducía prudentemente en todo lo que hacía, y el SEÑOR estaba con él

15 Y viendo Saúl que se portaba tan prudentemente, tenía temor de él
