1 Samuel 27:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 27:12

And Achish believed David
As he would have him understand his story; imposing upon him by ambiguous terms, insinuating he had been against the southern parts of Judah, when he had been against foreign nations that lay to the south of Judah:

saying, he hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him;
they shall never forgive him the destruction of their cities, and the inhabitants of them, and the plunder of their goods and cattle; his name will be had in the utmost detestation and abhorrence, and he must never return thither any more:

therefore he shall be my servant for ever:
would be glad to continue with him as a servant, and be obliged to serve him faithfully and truly, since his own people, and even those of his own tribe, would never more receive him; it being, as he understood it, the south of Judah that he had been plundering.

1 Samuel 27:12 In-Context

10 Quando Aquis perguntava: “Quem você atacou hoje?” Davi respondia: “O Neguebe de Judá” ou “O Neguebe de Jerameel” ou “O Neguebe dos queneus”.

11 Ele matava todos, homens e mulheres, para que não fossem levados a Gate, pois pensava: “Eles poderão denunciar-me”. Este foi o seu procedimento enquanto viveu em território filisteu.

12 Aquis confiava em Davi e dizia: “Ele se tornou tão odiado por seu povo, os israelitas, que será meu servo para sempre”.
