1 Samuel 24:18

18 Hoy me has hecho reconocer lo bien que me has tratado, pues el SEÑOR me entregó en tus manos, y no me mataste.

1 Samuel 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 24:18

And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well
with me
The cutting off of the skirt of his robe only, when his life was in his hand, was a clear proof and full demonstration of his dealing well with him, and might sufficiently convince him he had no ill design upon him: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou
killedst me not;
this was a plain proof and evidence of his kindness to him, which he owns, and also the providence of God in this affair, which had delivered him into the hands of David; by which he might see the Lord was for David, and against him, and might have deterred him from seeking David's hurt hereafter; but it did not.

1 Samuel 24:18 In-Context

16 Cuando David terminó de hablar, Saúl le preguntó:—David, hijo mío, ¡pero si eres tú quien me habla!Y alzando la voz, se echó a llorar.

17 —Has actuado mejor que yo —continuó Saúl—. Me has devuelto bien por mal.

18 Hoy me has hecho reconocer lo bien que me has tratado, pues el SEÑOR me entregó en tus manos, y no me mataste.

19 ¿Quién encuentra a su enemigo y le perdona la vida? ¡Que el SEÑOR te recompense por lo bien que me has tratado hoy!

20 Ahora caigo en cuenta de que tú serás el rey, y de que consolidarás el reino de Israel.
