1 Samuel 18:2

2 Daquele dia em diante, Saul manteve Davi consigo e não o deixou voltar à casa de seu pai.

1 Samuel 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:2

And Saul took him that day
Not only into his favour, and into his service, but into his court; even on that very day he slew the Philistine, or however as soon as it could be done:

and would let him go no more home to his father's house;
as he used to do before; when he only served as a musician to him, then he was only at court when Saul was in a melancholy disposition, and wanted him, and so was going and returning, and in the intervals kept his father's sheep, ( 1 Samuel 17:15 ) ; but now he would not suffer him to attend such business any longer, since he was not only to become a courtier, and be made a prince or noble, but to marry his daughter, according to the declaration he had made, with respect to any man that should kill Goliath.

1 Samuel 18:2 In-Context

1 Depois dessa conversa de Davi com Saul, surgiu tão grande amizade entre Jônatas e Davi que Jônatas tornou-se o seu melhor amigo.

2 Daquele dia em diante, Saul manteve Davi consigo e não o deixou voltar à casa de seu pai.

3 E Jônatas fez um acordo de amizade com Davi, pois se tornara o seu melhor amigo.

4 Jônatas tirou o manto que estava vestindo e o deu a Davi, com sua túnica, e até sua espada, seu arco e seu cinturão.

5 Tudo o que Saul lhe ordenava fazer, Davi fazia com tanta habilidade que Saul lhe deu um posto elevado no exército. Isso agradou a todo o povo, bem como aos conselheiros de Saul.
