1 Samuel 20:12

Listen to 1 Samuel 20:12
12 le dijo:—David, te juro por el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que a más tardar pasado mañana a esta hora averiguaré lo que piensa mi padre. Si no corres peligro, de alguna manera te lo haré saber.

1 Samuel 20:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:12

And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord God of Israel
Or by the Lord God of Israel, I swear unto thee; for this is the form of the oath, as Jarchi and Kimchi observe:

when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, [or] the third
[day];
searched, inquired, and found out how his disposition is:

and, behold, [if there be] good toward David;
if he is well disposed to him, as may appear by speaking respectfully of him, or kindly inquiring after him, and by being satisfied with the account given him:

and I then send not unto thee, and show it thee;
then let the vengeance of God fall upon me in some remarkable manner or another, as follows; or "shall I not then send unto thee, and show it thee" F20? certainly I will; that is, I will send a messenger to thee to acquaint thee with it, who shall tell it, and cause thee to hear it, as from myself.


FOOTNOTES:

F20 (Kyla xlva za alw) "an non tune mitterem?" Junius & Tremellius; "nonne tunc mittam ad te?" so some in Vatablus.

1 Samuel 20:12 In-Context

10 David le preguntó:—Si tu padre te responde de mal modo, ¿quién me lo hará saber?
11 Por toda respuesta, Jonatán invitó a David a salir al campo. Una vez allí,
12 le dijo:—David, te juro por el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que a más tardar pasado mañana a esta hora averiguaré lo que piensa mi padre. Si no corres peligro, de alguna manera te lo haré saber.
13 Pero si mi padre intenta hacerte daño, y yo no te aviso para que puedas escapar, ¡que el SEÑOR me castigue sin piedad, y que esté contigo como estuvo con mi padre!
14 Y si todavía estoy vivo cuando el SEÑOR te muestre su bondad, te pido que también tú seas bondadoso conmigo y no dejes que me maten.
