1 Samuel 20:26

Listen to 1 Samuel 20:26
26 Ese día Saúl no dijo nada, pues pensó: «Algo le habrá pasado a David, que lo dejó ritualmente impuro, y seguramente no pudo purificarse».

1 Samuel 20:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 20:26

Nevertheless, Saul spake not anything that day
About David's absence, took no notice of it, said nothing about it:

for he thought something had befallen him;
some impurity, some nocturnal pollution, see ( Leviticus 15:16 ) ;

he [is] not clean, surely he [is] not clean;
which he repeated in his mind for the confirmation of it, and in contempt, and to the reproach of David; and in this way he accounted for his absence the first day, and so was easy, it not being lawful and fitting for an unclean person in a ceremonial sense to eat of the peace offerings, which Saul and his family were now partaking of.

1 Samuel 20:26 In-Context

24 David se escondió en el campo. Cuando llegó la fiesta de luna nueva, el rey se sentó a la mesa para comer
25 ocupando, como de costumbre, el puesto junto a la pared. Jonatán se sentó enfrente, mientras que Abner se acomodó a un lado de Saúl. El asiento de David quedó desocupado.
26 Ese día Saúl no dijo nada, pues pensó: «Algo le habrá pasado a David, que lo dejó ritualmente impuro, y seguramente no pudo purificarse».
27 Pero como al día siguiente, que era el segundo del mes, el puesto de David seguía desocupado, Saúl le preguntó a Jonatán:—¿Cómo es que ni ayer ni hoy vino el hijo de Isaí a la comida?
28 Jonatán respondió:—David me insistió en que le diera permiso para ir a Belén.
