33 y bendito sea tu razonamiento, y bendita seas tú, que me has estorbado hoy el ir a derramar sangre, y a vengarme por mi propia mano

1 Samuel 25:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:33

And blessed [be] thy advice
Thanks be to God, and to thee for it, being wise, good, and seasonable; or "thy taste" ^F7, thy good sense, knowledge, as the Targum, discretion, prudence, and understanding: and blessed [be] thou which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed]

which to do would have been sinful, vengeance only belonging to God; and now he leaves it to him, and is very thankful that he was prevented doing it himself.

35 Y recibió David de su mano lo que le había traído, y le dijo: Sube en paz a tu casa, y mira que he oído tu voz, y he recibido tu faz
