Listen to 1 Samuel 17:47

1 Samuel 17:47 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:47

And all this assembly shall know
The congregation of Israel, and church of the living God, great part of which were now gathered together, and were spectators of this wonderful event:

that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear;
that is, by outward means and instruments, by arms and armed men; he does not save by them only, or by them always; he can save as well without them as with them:

for the battle [is] the Lord's;
it is under his direction; the issue and event of it depend on his will, and are owing to him; or, as the Targum,

``from the Lord is the victory of wars,''

it is he that gives it to whom he pleases:

and he will give you into our hands;
not only this Philistine into the hands of David, but the army of them into the hands of the Israelites; David knew, and was assured of this by the Lord, and it was on this he relied, and was what animated him to engage with this champion in the manner he did.

1 Samuel 17:47 In-Context

45 David le respondió al filisteo:
—Tú vienes contra mí con espada, lanza y jabalina, pero yo vengo contra ti en nombre del Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales, el Dios de los ejércitos de Israel, a quien tú has desafiado.
46 Hoy el Señor
te conquistará, y yo te mataré y te cortaré la cabeza. Y luego daré los cadáveres de tus hombres a las aves y a los animales salvajes, ¡y todo el mundo sabrá que hay un Dios en Israel!
47 Todos los que están aquí reunidos sabrán que el Señor
rescata a su pueblo, pero no con espada ni con lanza. ¡Esta es la batalla del Señor
, y los entregará a ustedes en nuestras manos!
48 Cuando Goliat se acercó para atacarlo, David fue corriendo para enfrentarse con él.
49 Metió la mano en su bolsa de pastor, sacó una piedra, la lanzó con su honda y golpeó al filisteo en la frente. La piedra se le incrustó allí y Goliat se tambaleó y cayó de cara al suelo.
