1 Samuel 26:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:18

And he said, wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his
servant?
&c.] Suggesting that it was both below him to do it, and against his interest; for David was his servant, and he would gladly have continued in his service, and done his business, but he drove him from it, and pursued him as a traitor, when he had not been guilty of any offence to his knowledge: and therefore puts the following questions:

for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?
what crime had he committed, that he was pursued after this manner, and his life sought for? what had he done worthy of death? having a clear conscience, he could boldly ask these questions.

1 Samuel 26:18 In-Context

16 NĂŁo Ă© bom isso que vocĂȘ fez! Juro pelo SENHOR que todos vocĂȘs merecem morrer, pois nĂŁo protegeram o seu rei, o ungido do SENHOR. Agora, olhem! Onde estĂŁo a lança e o jarro de ĂĄgua do rei, que estavam perto da cabeça dele?”
17 Saul reconheceu a voz de Davi e disse: “É vocĂȘ, meu filho Davi?”Davi respondeu: “Sim, Ăł rei, meu senhor”.
18 E acrescentou: “Por que meu senhor está perseguindo este seu servo? O que eu fiz, e de que mal sou culpado?
19 Que o rei, meu senhor, escute as palavras de seu servo. Se o SENHOR o instigou contra mim, queira ele aceitar uma oferta; se, porĂ©m, sĂŁo homens que o fizeram, que sejam amaldiçoados perante o SENHOR! Eles agora me afastaram de minha porção na herança do SENHOR e disseram: ‘VĂĄ, preste culto a outros deuses’.
20 Agora, que o meu sangue nĂŁo seja derramado longe da presença do SENHOR. O rei de Israel saiu Ă  procura de uma pulga como alguĂ©m que sai Ă  caça de uma perdiz nos montes”.
