1 Samuel 20:7

7 Si él dijere: Bien está, paz tendrá tu siervo; mas si se enojare, sabe que la malicia está en él consumada

1 Samuel 20:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:7

If he say thus, [it is] well
It is very well, it is very good and right in him to do so:

thy servant shall have peace;
it will be a token that the wrath of the king was removed, and that his mind was well disposed towards David, and things had taken an happy turn, and would issue in his peace and prosperity:

but if he be very wroth;
with Jonathan for giving leave, and with David for going away:

[then] be sure that evil is determined by him;
that he has a settled obstinate malice in his heart, which is become implacable and inveterate, and confirmed in him; and that it is a determined point with him to slay David if possible, which he hoped to have an opportunity of doing at that time in which he was disappointed, and caused such wrath in him.

1 Samuel 20:7 In-Context

5 Y David respondió a Jonatán: He aquí que mañana será nueva luna, y yo acostumbro sentarme con el rey a comer; mas tú dejarás que me esconda en el campo hasta la tarde del tercer día

6 Si tu padre hiciere mención de mí, dirás: Me rogó mucho que lo dejara ir presto a Belén su ciudad, porque todos los de su linaje tienen allá sacrificio aniversario

7 Si él dijere: Bien está, paz tendrá tu siervo; mas si se enojare, sabe que la malicia está en él consumada

8 Harás, pues, misericordia con tu siervo, ya que has traído tu siervo a pacto del SEÑOR contigo; y si hay iniquidad en mí mátame tú, que no hay necesidad de llevarme hasta tu padre

9 Y Jonatán le dijo: Nunca tal te suceda; antes bien, si yo entendiera ser consumada la malicia de mi padre, para venir sobre ti, ¿no había yo de descubrírtelo
