2 Samuele 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:14

And David said unto him, how, wast thou not afraid to stretch
forth thine hand
By which it should seem that he did more than stand upon him, and press his body, that the spear might pierce through him, but that he drew his sword, and slew him; so David understood him, and is the sense of the phrase in ( 1 Samuel 17:51 ) ;

to destroy the Lord's anointed?
a reason why David did not destroy him, when it was in the power of his hands, and which he made use of to dissuade others from it; and here charges it not only as a criminal, but a daring action in this young man, at which he expresses his admiration how he could do it; hereby representing it as a very shocking and detestable action; see ( 1 Samuel 24:6 ) ( 1 Samuel 26:9 1 Samuel 26:11 ) .

2 Samuele 1:14 In-Context

12 E fecero cordoglio e piansero e digiunarono fino a sera, a motivo di Saul, di Gionathan, suo figliuolo, del popolo dell’Eterno e della casa d’Israele, perché eran caduti per la spada.

13 Poi Davide chiese al giovine che gli avea raccontato quelle cose: "Donde sei tu?" Quegli rispose: "Son figliuolo d’uno straniero, d’un Amalekita".

14 E Davide gli disse: "Come mai non hai tu temuto di stender la mano per uccidere l’unto dell’Eterno?"

15 Poi chiamò uno dei suoi uomini, e gli disse: "Avvicinati, e gettati sopra costui!" Quegli lo colpì, ed egli morì.

16 E Davide gli disse: "Il tuo sangue ricada sul tuo capo, poiché la tua bocca ha testimoniato contro di te quando hai detto: Io ho ucciso l’unto dell’Eterno".
