1 Samuele 19:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 19:10

And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with his
javelin
To strike it through him, and fasten him to the wall with it, as he had attempted before, ( 1 Samuel 18:11 ) ;

but he slipped away out of Saul's presence:
he perceived his design, and being of great agility of body, moved out of his place before him very nimbly:

and he smote the javelin into the wall;
he threw it with suck force that it entered into the wall, and stuck there; so great was his resolution to destroy David, and such the rage and passion that he was in, and such his strength of body, and which, in person; in his circumstances, is strangely exerted at times:

and David fled, and escaped that night;
it being towards night, or in the evening, very probably, when this affair happened; upon which he departed from Saul's court, and went to his own house, and so escaped the danger he was exposed to for the present.

1 Samuele 19:10 In-Context

8 Ricominciò di nuovo la guerra; e Davide uscì a combattere contro i Filistei, inflisse loro una grave sconfitta, e quelli fuggirono d’innanzi a lui.
9 E uno spirito cattivo, suscitato dall’Eterno, s’impossessò di Saul. Egli sedeva in casa sua avendo in mano una lancia; e Davide stava sonando l’arpa.
10 E Saul cercò d’inchiodar Davide al muro con la lancia, ma Davide schivò il colpo, e la lancia diè nel muro. Davide fuggì e si mise in salvo in quella stessa notte.
11 Saul inviò de’ messi a casa di Davide per tenerlo d’occhio e farlo morire la mattina dipoi; ma Mical, moglie di Davide, lo informò della cosa, dicendo: "Se in questa stessa notte non ti salvi la vita, domani sei morto".
12 E Mical calò Davide per una finestra; ed egli se ne andò, fuggì, e si mise in salvo.
