1 Samuel 19:1-7

Listen to 1 Samuel 19:1-7

Saúl intenta matar a David

1 Saúl les comunicó a su hijo Jonatán y a todos sus funcionarios su decisión de matar[a] a David. Pero como Jonatán le tenía tanto afecto a David,
2 le advirtió: «Mi padre Saúl está buscando una oportunidad para matarte. Así que ten mucho cuidado mañana; escóndete en algún sitio seguro, y quédate allí.
3 Yo saldré con mi padre al campo donde tú estés, y le hablaré de ti. Cuando averigüe lo que pasa, te lo haré saber».
4 Jonatán le habló a su padre Saúl en favor de David:—¡No vaya Su Majestad a pecar contra su siervo David! —le rogó—. Él no le ha hecho ningún mal; al contrario, lo que ha hecho ha sido de gran beneficio para Su Majestad.
5 Para matar al filisteo arriesgó su propia vida, y el SEÑOR le dio una gran victoria a todo Israel. Su Majestad mismo lo vio y se alegró. ¿Por qué ha de pecar contra un inocente y matar a David sin motivo?
6 Saúl le hizo caso a Jonatán, y exclamó:—Tan cierto como que el SEÑOR vive, te juro que David no morirá.
7 Entonces Jonatán llamó a David y, después de contarle toda la conversación, lo llevó ante Saúl para que estuviera a su servicio como antes.

1 Samuel 19:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 19

This chapter relates the dangers David was exposed unto through Saul's enmity at him, and his deliverance from them, as by the notice Jonathan gave him of his father's designs against him, and by his kind interposition on his behalf, 1Sa 19:1-7; by David's slipping out of Saul's presence, when he was about to cast a javelin at him, 1Sa 19:8-10; by Michal's letting him down through a window, when Saul sent messengers to kill him, and by deceiving them with an image laid in his bed in the room of him, 1Sa 19:11-17, and again by Samuel's protection of him at Naioth, whither David fled, and where Saul sent messengers after him, and at length came himself; and instead of laying hands on David, both he and the messengers were set a prophesying, 1Sa 19:18-24.
