1 Samuel 24:23 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 24

Saul being returned from following the Philistines, renews his pursuit after David, 1Sa 24:1,2; and they meeting in a cave, where David had the opportunity of taking away the life of Saul, which his men pressed him to, yet only cut off the skirt of his robe, 1Sa 24:3-8; which, calling after him, he held up to him to convince him he had his life in his hands, but spared it, 1Sa 24:9,10; upon which he very pathetically reasons with him about the unreasonableness and unrighteousness of his pursuit after him, to take away his life, 1Sa 24:11-15; which so affected Saul, that he confessed he was more righteous than he, and owned that the kingdom would be his, and only desired him to swear to him not to cut off his offspring, which David did, and so they parted, 1Sa 24:16-22.

1 Samuel 24:23 In-Context

21 Et maintenant, voici, je sais que certainement tu régneras, et que le royaume d'Israël sera ferme entre tes mains.

22 Jure-moi donc maintenant, par l'Éternel, que tu ne détruiras point ma race après moi, et que tu n'extermineras point mon nom de la maison de mon père.

23 Et David le jura à Saül. Alors Saül s'en alla en sa maison, et David et ses gens montèrent au lieu fort.
