1 Samuel 24:18

18 Es cierto, has sido increíblemente bondadoso conmigo hoy, porque cuando el Señor
me puso en un lugar donde pudiste haberme matado, no lo hiciste.

1 Samuel 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 24:18

And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well
with me
The cutting off of the skirt of his robe only, when his life was in his hand, was a clear proof and full demonstration of his dealing well with him, and might sufficiently convince him he had no ill design upon him: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou
killedst me not;
this was a plain proof and evidence of his kindness to him, which he owns, and also the providence of God in this affair, which had delivered him into the hands of David; by which he might see the Lord was for David, and against him, and might have deterred him from seeking David's hurt hereafter; but it did not.

1 Samuel 24:18 In-Context

16 Cuando David terminó de hablar, Saúl le respondió:
—¿Realmente eres tú, David, hijo mío?
Enseguida comenzó a llorar

17 y le dijo a David:
—Eres mejor persona que yo, porque has devuelto bien por mal.

18 Es cierto, has sido increíblemente bondadoso conmigo hoy, porque cuando el Señor
me puso en un lugar donde pudiste haberme matado, no lo hiciste.

19 ¿Quién otro dejaría ir a su enemigo cuando lo tiene en su poder? Que el Señor
te recompense bien por la bondad que hoy me has demostrado.

20 Ahora me doy cuenta de que ciertamente tú serás el rey, y de que el reino de Israel prosperará bajo tu gobierno.
