1 Samuel 17:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:24

And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man
Even as it should seem before they heard him; knowing who he was, and what he was about to say, having seen and heard him forty days running:

fled from him, and were sore afraid;
it is pretty much a whole army should be afraid of one man, and flee from him; they must be greatly forsaken of God, and given up by him, see ( Deuteronomy 32:30 ) ; but perhaps they were not so much afraid of personal danger from him, as that they could not bear to hear his blasphemy.

1 Samuel 17:24 In-Context

22 David, por su parte, dejó su carga al cuidado del encargado de las provisiones, y corrió a las filas para saludar a sus hermanos.
23 Mientras conversaban, Goliat, el gran guerrero filisteo de Gat, salió de entre las filas para repetir su desafío, y David lo oyó.
24 Cada vez que los israelitas veían a Goliat huían despavoridos.
25 Algunos decían: «¿Ven a ese hombre que sale a desafiar a Israel? A quien lo venza y lo mate, el rey lo colmará de riquezas. Además, le dará su hija como esposa, y su familia quedará exenta de impuestos aquí en Israel».
26 David preguntó a los que estaban con él:—¿Qué dicen que le darán a quien mate a ese filisteo y salve así el honor de Israel? ¿Quién se cree este filisteo pagano, que se atreve a desafiar al ejército del Dios viviente?
