1 Samuel 18:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:9

And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
] Instead of looking pleasantly, and with a smile, upon him, as a courtier and favourite, he was justly entitled to by his gallant behaviour, he looked at him with a sour, ill natured look; he looked at him with an evil, spiteful, malicious, and envious eye; or he diligently watched and observed all his motions and actions, whether they tended to disloyalty and treason, to dethrone him, and take the kingdom to himself, which he was suspicious of; he laid wait for him, as the Targum, and laid snares too, as the following history shows.

1 Samuel 18:9 In-Context

7 As mulheres dançavam e cantavam:“Saul matou milhares;Davi, dezenas de milhares”.

8 Saul ficou muito irritado com esse refrão e, aborrecido, disse: “Atribuíram a Davi dezenas de milhares, mas a mim apenas milhares. O que mais lhe falta senão o reino?”

9 Daí em diante Saul olhava com inveja para Davi.

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.
