1 Samuel 18:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:9

And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
] Instead of looking pleasantly, and with a smile, upon him, as a courtier and favourite, he was justly entitled to by his gallant behaviour, he looked at him with a sour, ill natured look; he looked at him with an evil, spiteful, malicious, and envious eye; or he diligently watched and observed all his motions and actions, whether they tended to disloyalty and treason, to dethrone him, and take the kingdom to himself, which he was suspicious of; he laid wait for him, as the Targum, and laid snares too, as the following history shows.

1 Samuel 18:9 In-Context

7 Este era su canto:
«Saúl mató a sus miles,
¡y David, a sus diez miles!».

8 Esto hizo que Saúl se enojara mucho. «¿Qué es esto? —dijo—. Le dan crédito a David por diez miles y a mí sólo por miles. ¡Solo falta que lo hagan su rey!».

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.
