1 Samuel 14:37

Listen to 1 Samuel 14:37
37 Saúl entonces le preguntó a Dios: «¿Debo perseguir a los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en manos de Israel?» Pero Dios no le respondió aquel día.

1 Samuel 14:37 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:37

And Saul asked counsel of God
He agreed to the motion of the high priest, and asked counsel by Urim and Thummim; the Targum is, as before,

``inquired by the Word of the Lord:''

shall I go down after the Philistines?
pursue after them in their flight to their own country, which, lying to the sea, was a descent:

wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel?
what remain of them, otherwise a victory over them was obtained:

but he answered him not that day;
no answer was returned by Urim and Thummim, so that he was left in suspense whether he should pursue or no; the Targum is,

``he received not his prayer that day;''

this was treating him in a righteous manner; since he would not stay for an answer from the Lord, ( 1 Samuel 14:19 ) , the Lord now will not give him any; though the principal view was, that he might take the step he did.

1 Samuel 14:37 In-Context

35 Luego Saúl construyó un altar al SEÑOR. Este fue el primer altar que levantó.
36 Y dijo:—Vayamos esta noche tras los filisteos. Antes de que amanezca, quitémosles todo lo que tienen y no dejemos a nadie con vida.—Haz lo que te parezca mejor —le respondieron.—Primero debemos consultar a Dios —intervino el sacerdote.
37 Saúl entonces le preguntó a Dios: «¿Debo perseguir a los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en manos de Israel?» Pero Dios no le respondió aquel día.
38 Así que Saúl dijo:—Todos ustedes, jefes del ejército, acérquense y averigüen cuál es el pecado que se ha cometido hoy.
39 ¡El SEÑOR y Salvador de Israel me es testigo de que, aun si el culpable es mi hijo Jonatán, morirá sin remedio!Nadie se atrevió a decirle nada.
