Listen to 1 Samuel 17:16

1 Samuel 17:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:16

And the Philistine drew near morning and evening
Twice a day he came near the camp, within the hearing of it. The Jews F23 say, he took those seasons on purpose to disturb them in reading their "Shema", or "hear, O Israel" and saying their prayers morning and evening:

and presented himself forty days;
Successively, before the armies of Israel, daring them to send down a man to fight with him, and reproaching them for their cowardice in not doing it.

1 Samuel 17:16 In-Context

14 Y David era el menor. Siguieron pues los tres mayores á Saúl.
15 Empero David había ido y vuelto de con Saúl, para apacentar las ovejas de su padre en Beth-lehem.
16 Venía pues aquel Filisteo por la mañana y á la tarde, y presentóse por cuarenta días.
17 Y dijo Isaí á David su hijo: Toma ahora para tus hermanos un epha de este grano tostado, y estos diez panes, y llévalo presto al campamento á tus hermanos.
18 Llevarás asimismo estos diez quesos de leche al capitán, y cuida de ver si tus hermanos están buenos, y toma prendas de ellos.
