1 Samuel 26:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:24

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine
eyes
Or "magnified" ^F25; and made great account of, as being the life of the king of Israel, and the Lord's anointed, and so spared:

so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord;
he does not say in the eyes of Saul, as it should have been by way of retaliation, and as it might have been expected he would have said; but he had no dependence on Saul, nor expected justice to be done him by him; but he prays that his life might be precious in the sight of Lord, and taken care of, and protected by him, as he believed it would:

and let him deliver me out of all tribulation;
for as yet he did not think himself quite out of it, notwithstanding all that Saul had said, but believed the Lord would deliver him in due time; from him alone he looked for it, and on him he depended.

1 Samuel 26:24 In-Context

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.

25 —¡Bendito seas, David, hijo mío! —respondió Saúl—. Tú harás grandes cosas, y en todo triunfarás.Luego David siguió su camino, y Saúl regresó a su palacio.
