1 Samuel 26:24

24 Ahora que el Señor
valore mi vida, así como hoy yo he valorado la suya. Que él me rescate de todas mis dificultades.

1 Samuel 26:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:24

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine
eyes
Or "magnified" ^F25; and made great account of, as being the life of the king of Israel, and the Lord's anointed, and so spared:

so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord;
he does not say in the eyes of Saul, as it should have been by way of retaliation, and as it might have been expected he would have said; but he had no dependence on Saul, nor expected justice to be done him by him; but he prays that his life might be precious in the sight of Lord, and taken care of, and protected by him, as he believed it would:

and let him deliver me out of all tribulation;
for as yet he did not think himself quite out of it, notwithstanding all that Saul had said, but believed the Lord would deliver him in due time; from him alone he looked for it, and on him he depended.

1 Samuel 26:24 In-Context

22 —Aquí está su lanza, oh rey —dijo David—. Permita que uno de sus jóvenes venga por ella.

23 El Señor
da su propia recompensa por hacer el bien y por ser leal, y yo rehusé matarlo, aun cuando el Señor
lo puso en mi poder, porque usted es el ungido del Señor
.

24 Ahora que el Señor
valore mi vida, así como hoy yo he valorado la suya. Que él me rescate de todas mis dificultades.

25 Y Saúl le dijo a David:
—Bendiciones sobre tu vida, David, hijo mío. Harás muchas acciones heroicas y seguramente te irá bien en todo lo que hagas.
Luego David se fue, y Saúl regresó a su casa.
