1 Samuele 17:35

Listen to 1 Samuele 17:35
35 io gli correvo dietro, lo colpivo, gli strappavo dalle fauci la preda; e se quello mi si rivoltava contro, io lo pigliavo per le ganasce, lo ferivo e l’ammazzavo.

1 Samuele 17:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:35

And I went out after him
Whether a lion or a bear; but mention after being made of his beard, a lion rather is meant:

and smote him;
with his fist, or rather with his shepherd's staff:

and delivered [it] out of his mouth;
snatched it out from thence, or obliged him to drop it, by beating him:

and when he arose against me;
after he had let go the lamb, threatening to tear him in pieces for attempting to disturb him in his prey, and take it away from him;

I caught [him] by his beard;
such as lions have; hence a lion is often called in Homer F7 (liv heugeneiov) , the well-bearded lion. Kimchi thinks the beard with the nether jaw is meant, which David caught hold on:

and smote him, and slew him;
tore him to pieces, as Samson did, ( Judges 14:5 Judges 14:6 ) , or slew him with some weapon in his hand.

1 Samuele 17:35 In-Context

33 Saul disse a Davide: "Tu non puoi andare a batterti con questo Filisteo; poiché tu non sei che un giovanetto, ed egli è un guerriero fin dalla sua giovinezza".
34 E Davide rispose a Saul: "Il tuo servo pascolava il gregge di suo padre; e quando un leone o un orso veniva a portar via una pecora di mezzo al gregge,
35 io gli correvo dietro, lo colpivo, gli strappavo dalle fauci la preda; e se quello mi si rivoltava contro, io lo pigliavo per le ganasce, lo ferivo e l’ammazzavo.
36 Sì, il tuo servo ha ucciso il leone e l’orso; e questo incirconciso Filisteo sarà come uno di quelli, perché ha coperto d’obbrobrio le schiere dell’Iddio vivente".
37 E Davide soggiunse: "L’Eterno che mi liberò dalla zampa del leone e dalla zampa dell’orso, mi libererà anche dalla mano di questo Filisteo". E Saul disse a Davide: "Va’, e l’Eterno sia teco".
