1 Samuel 18:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:11

And Saul cast the javelin
Out of his hand at David:

for he said;
in his heart, determining in his mind:

I will smite David even to the wall [with it];
he determined to cast it with such force and violence, that it should pierce through David, and enter into the very wall, by the side of which David was:

and David avoided out of his presence twice;
to escape the javelin cast at him; either he went out at the first time of its being thrown, and then came in again, when he threw it a second time at him, upon which he also withdrew; or this was one of the times, and the other some time after, of which see ( 1 Samuel 19:9 ) . Abarbinel thinks, that David, while he was playing, his eyes were so fixed upon his own hands, that he was not aware of the javelin, and turned himself from Saul without intention both times, and so escaped without knowledge of it; such was the good providence of God towards him, and which, when Saul perceived, it wrought upon him, as follows.

1 Samuel 18:11 In-Context

9 Desde ese momento Saúl miró con recelo a David.

10 Al día siguiente, un espíritu atormentador
de parte de Dios abrumó a Saúl, y comenzó a desvariar como un loco en su casa. David tocaba el arpa, tal como lo hacía cada día. Pero Saúl tenía una lanza en la mano,

11 y de repente se la arrojó a David, tratando de clavarlo en la pared, pero David lo esquivó dos veces.

12 Después Saúl tenía miedo de David porque el Señor
estaba con David pero se había apartado de él.

13 Finalmente lo echó de su presencia y lo nombró comandante sobre mil hombres, y David dirigía fielmente a las tropas en batalla.
