1 Samuel 16:14

Listen to 1 Samuel 16:14

David al servicio de Saúl

14 El Espíritu del SEÑOR se apartó de Saúl, y en su lugar el SEÑOR le envió un espíritu maligno para que lo atormentara.

1 Samuel 16:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 16:14

But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul
As a spirit of prophecy as at first, as a spirit of wisdom and prudence in civil government, and as a spirit of fortitude and courage, as the Targum:

and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him;
the reverse of the former, which by the permission of God, and as a punishment to him for his sins, came upon him; he seemed to be a demoniac, as Josephus represents F9 him, as if possessed with the devil; by whom he was almost suffocated and strangled, as well as was distracted in his counsels, and became weak and foolish; lost all courage and greatness of mind, was timorous and fearful, and alarmed by everything, and was full of envy, suspicion, rage, and despair.

1 Samuel 16:14 In-Context

12 Isaí mandó a buscarlo, y se lo trajeron. Era buen mozo, trigueño y de buena presencia. El SEÑOR le dijo a Samuel:—Este es; levántate y úngelo.
13 Samuel tomó el cuerno de aceite y ungió al joven en presencia de sus hermanos. Entonces el Espíritu del SEÑOR vino con poder sobre David, y desde ese día estuvo con él. Luego Samuel regresó a Ramá.
14 El Espíritu del SEÑOR se apartó de Saúl, y en su lugar el SEÑOR le envió un espíritu maligno para que lo atormentara.
15 Sus servidores le dijeron:—Como usted se dará cuenta, un espíritu maligno de parte de Dios lo está atormentando.
16 Así que ordene Su Majestad a estos siervos suyos que busquen a alguien que sepa tocar el arpa. Así, cuando lo ataque el espíritu maligno de parte de Dios, el músico tocará, y Su Majestad se sentirá mejor.
