1 Samuel 29:6

6 Así que Aquis finalmente mandó traer a David y le dijo:
—Juro por el Señor
que has sido un aliado confiable. Pienso que debes ir conmigo a la batalla, porque no he encontrado una sola falla en ti desde que llegaste hasta el día de hoy. Pero los demás gobernantes filisteos no quieren ni oír hablar del tema.

1 Samuel 29:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 29:6

Then Achish called David
Being so near him, that he could call unto him himself, or he sent some person to him, to require his presence with him:

and said unto him, surely, [as] the Lord liveth;
or "Jehovah liveth"; an oath by the true God, of whom Achish might have some knowledge, as he also had of angels, from his conversation with David; though the Heathens had a notion of a supreme Being, and yet worshipped other gods, and whom they called Jove, from this name of Jehovah. Kimchi observes, that all confess a first cause; and therefore when he swore to David, he swore by him in whom David believed, perhaps out of complaisance to him, or that David might pay the greater regard to his oath:

thou hast been upright;
sincere, honest, faithful, and just in all his deportment; yet not so sincere as he thought him to be, witness the road he pretended he had taken against the south of Judah, ( 1 Samuel 27:1-12 ) ;

and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in
sight;
his behaviour in the army, attending him as the keeper of his head, or captain of his bodyguard, was exceeding agreeable to him, and he could wish to have him continued:

for I have not found evil in thee, since the day of thy coming unto me
unto this day;
whatever he had done before to the Philistines, having greatly afflicted and distressed them in his wars with them, of which this seems to be an exception:

nevertheless, the lords favour thee not;
or thou art not acceptable to them, yea, very offensive and disagreeable.

1 Samuel 29:6 In-Context

4 Pero los comandantes filisteos se enojaron.
—¡Envíalo de vuelta a la ciudad que le diste! —le exigieron—. No puede ir con nosotros a la batalla. ¿Y si se vuelve contra nosotros durante la batalla y se convierte en nuestro adversario? ¿Qué mejor manera de reconciliarse con su amo que entregándole nuestras cabezas?

5 ¿No es este el mismo David por quien las mujeres de Israel cantan en sus danzas:
“Saúl mató a sus miles,
y David, a sus diez miles”?

6 Así que Aquis finalmente mandó traer a David y le dijo:
—Juro por el Señor
que has sido un aliado confiable. Pienso que debes ir conmigo a la batalla, porque no he encontrado una sola falla en ti desde que llegaste hasta el día de hoy. Pero los demás gobernantes filisteos no quieren ni oír hablar del tema.

7 Por favor, no los inquietes y regresa sin llamar la atención.

8 —¿Qué he hecho para merecer esto? —preguntó David—. ¿Qué ha encontrado en su siervo para que no pueda ir y pelear contra los enemigos de mi señor el rey?
