1 Samuel 30:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:7

And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son
The son of Ahimelech, who was slain at Nob by the order of Saul, ( 1 Samuel 22:19 ) ; and Abiathar his son, who fled to David with the ephod, on the death of his father, ( 1 Samuel 22:20 ) , was now high priest in his room; and who it seems was with David when he went with Achish, and returned with him; for had he been left at Ziklag, he and his ephod, in all probability, had been carried off by the Amalekites, unless we can suppose him under the protection of a special providence: it is much David had not inquired of the Lord by him about his going with Achish; perhaps the present disaster brought to mind that neglect, and made him the more diligent now:

I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod;
not to put it on himself, but that the high priest might put it on, and inquire by it before him of the Lord:

and Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David;
for the sake of David, that inquiry might be made before him of the Lord by Urim and Thummim.

1 Samuel 30:7 In-Context

5 Las dos esposas de David, Ahinoam de Jezreel y Abigail, la viuda de Nabal de Carmelo, estaban entre los que fueron capturados.

6 David ahora se encontraba en gran peligro, porque todos sus hombres estaban muy resentidos por haber perdido a sus hijos e hijas, y comenzaron a hablar acerca de apedrearlo. Pero David encontró fuerzas en el Señor
su Dios.

7 Entonces le dijo a Abiatar, el sacerdote:
—¡Tráeme el efod!
Así que Abiatar lo trajo

8 y David le preguntó al Señor
:
—¿Debo perseguir a esta banda de saqueadores? ¿Los atraparé?
Y el Señor
le dijo:
—Sí, persíguelos. Recuperarás todo lo que te han quitado.

9 De modo que David y sus seiscientos hombres salieron y llegaron al arroyo de Besor.
