1 Samuel 20:43 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 20

David fleeing from Naioth came to Jonathan, and acquainted him with his circumstances, and entreated his favour, 1Sa 20:1-8; which Jonathan promised, and renewed the covenant with him, 1Sa 20:9-17; a scheme was formed between them, by which David might know whether Saul was reconciled to him, and he might come to court, 1Sa 20:18-23; which being tried, Jonathan found it was not safe for him to appear, 1Sa 20:24-34; of which he gave notice by the signals agreed on, 1Sa 20:35-40; and they took their leave of one another with strong expressions of affection and attachment to each other, 1Sa 20:41,42.

1 Samuel 20:43 In-Context

41 Le garçon partit; et David se leva du côté du Midi, se jeta le visage contre terre, et se prosterna trois fois; puis ils s'embrassèrent l'un l'autre, et pleurèrent tous deux, et même David pleura extrêmement.

42 Et Jonathan dit David: Va en paix, selon ce que nous avons juré tous deux, au nom de l'Éternel, en disant: L'Éternel sera entre moi et toi, et entre ma postérité et ta postérité, à jamais.

43 David se leva donc et s'en alla, et Jonathan rentra dans la ville.
