1 Samuel 18:12

12 Saul tinha medo de Davi porque o SENHOR o havia abandonado e agora estava com Davi.

1 Samuel 18:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:12

And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him,
&c.] Protecting and preserving him, prospering and succeeding him, giving him victory over his enemies, and favour among the people; the Targum is,

``the Word of the Lord was for his help.''

Procopius Gazaeus interprets it of the Holy Ghost, whose grace was vouchsafed unto him: he might be afraid in his melancholy fits, that as he had attempted to take away the life of David, that David would contrive and seek an opportunity, and take away his life, and seize the kingdom which God had given him, and his being with him strengthened these fears:

and was departed from Saul;
so that he was destitute of courage, and greatness of mind, and of wisdom and prudence, and became mean and abject, and exposed himself to the contempt of his subjects.

1 Samuel 18:12 In-Context

10 No dia seguinte, um espírito maligno mandado por Deus apoderou-se de Saul, e ele entrou em transe em sua casa, enquanto Davi tocava harpa, como costumava fazer. Saul estava com uma lança na mão

11 e a atirou, dizendo: “Encravarei Davi na parede”. Mas Davi desviou-se duas vezes.

12 Saul tinha medo de Davi porque o SENHOR o havia abandonado e agora estava com Davi.

13 Então afastou Davi de sua presença e deu-lhe o comando de uma tropa de mil soldados, que Davi conduzia em suas campanhas.

14 Ele tinha êxito em tudo o que fazia, pois o SENHOR estava com ele.
