1 Samuel 24:5-8

Listen to 1 Samuel 24:5-8
5 Aber darnach schlug ihm sein Herz, daß er den Zipfel Sauls hatte abgeschnitten,
6 und er sprach zu seinen Männern: Das lasse der HERR ferne von mir sein, daß ich das tun sollte und meine Hand legen an meinen Herrn, den Gesalbten des HERRN; denn er ist der Gesalbte des HERRN.
7 Und David wies seine Männer von sich mit den Worten und ließ sie nicht sich wider Saul auflehnen. Da aber Saul sich aufmachte aus der Höhle und ging des Weges,
8 machte sich darnach David auch auf und ging aus der Höhle und rief Saul hintennach und sprach: Mein Herr König! Saul sah hinter sich. Und David neigte sein Antlitz zur Erde und fiel nieder

1 Samuel 24:5-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 24

Saul being returned from following the Philistines, renews his pursuit after David, 1Sa 24:1,2; and they meeting in a cave, where David had the opportunity of taking away the life of Saul, which his men pressed him to, yet only cut off the skirt of his robe, 1Sa 24:3-8; which, calling after him, he held up to him to convince him he had his life in his hands, but spared it, 1Sa 24:9,10; upon which he very pathetically reasons with him about the unreasonableness and unrighteousness of his pursuit after him, to take away his life, 1Sa 24:11-15; which so affected Saul, that he confessed he was more righteous than he, and owned that the kingdom would be his, and only desired him to swear to him not to cut off his offspring, which David did, and so they parted, 1Sa 24:16-22.
