1 Samuel 26:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:22

And David answered and said, behold the king's spear!
&c.] And which perhaps was his sceptre, and which David therefore would not keep, lest it should be thought or said that he had deprived him of an ensign of his royalty, and be interpreted as a token of his design to seize his crown and throne:

and let one of the young men come over and fetch it;
for notwithstanding the acknowledgment Saul had made of his sin and folly, David did not choose to carry the spear to him; not caring to trust him, and put himself into his hands, lest the evil spirit should return and come upon him suddenly, and alter his disposition and carriage; nor would he send any of his men with it, whose lives were dear to him, lest they should be seized as traitors, but desires one of Saul's men might be sent for it.

1 Samuel 26:22 In-Context

20 Ahora bien, no deje usted que mi sangre sea derramada lejos de la presencia del SEÑOR. ¿Por qué ha salido el rey de Israel en busca de una simple pulga? ¡Es como si estuviera cazando una perdiz en los montes!

21 —¡He pecado! —exclamó Saúl—. Regresa, David, hijo mío. Ya no voy a hacerte daño. Tú has valorado hoy mi vida; yo, en cambio, he sido un necio y me he portado muy mal.

22 David respondió:—Su Majestad, aquí está su lanza. Mande usted a uno de sus criados a recogerla.

23 Que el SEÑOR le pague a cada uno según su rectitud y lealtad, pues hoy él lo había puesto a usted en mis manos, pero yo ni siquiera me atreví a tocar al ungido del SEÑOR.

24 Sin embargo, así como hoy valoré la vida de usted, quiera el SEÑOR valorar mi propia vida y librarme de toda angustia.
