1 Samuel 17:25

Listen to 1 Samuel 17:25
25 Y cada uno de los de Israel decía: ¿No habéis visto a aquel varón que sube? El sube para deshonrar a Israel. Al que le venciere, el rey le enriquecerá con grandes riquezas, y le dará su hija, y hará franca la casa de su padre en Israel.

1 Samuel 17:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:25

And the men of Israel said
To one another:

have ye seen this man that is come up?
taken notice of him, and observed him?

surely to defy Israel is he come up;
to challenge them to fight with him, and upbraid them with cowardice that they did not:

and it shall be [that] the man who killeth him;
this, and what follows, they said to encourage any person to engage with him, though none of them cared to encounter him themselves:

the king will enrich him with great riches;
give him a large gratuity, make a present of a great sum of money to him:

and will give him his daughter to be his wife,
in like manner as Caleb promised to give his daughter in marriage to the person that should take Kirjathsepher, ( Judges 1:12 ) ;

and make his father's house free in Israel;
from all tributes, taxes, levies, impositions, king's service, and duty; or, as the Targum,

``make his father's house freemen, nobles;''

raise it to the rank of nobility.

1 Samuel 17:25 In-Context

23 Y estando él hablando con ellos, he aquí aquel varón que se ponía en medio de los dos campamentos , que se llamaba Goliat, el filisteo de Gat, que subía de los escuadrones de los filisteos, hablando las mismas palabras; las cuales oyó David.
24 Y todos los varones de Israel que veían aquel hombre, huían delante de él, y tenían gran temor.
25 Y cada uno de los de Israel decía: ¿No habéis visto a aquel varón que sube? El sube para deshonrar a Israel. Al que le venciere, el rey le enriquecerá con grandes riquezas, y le dará su hija, y hará franca la casa de su padre en Israel.
26 Entonces habló David a los que junto a él estaban, diciendo: ¿Qué harán a aquel varón que venciere a este filisteo, y quitare la deshonra de Israel? Porque ¿quién es este filisteo incircunciso, para que deshonre a los escuadrones del Dios viviente?
27 Y el pueblo le respondió las mismas palabras, diciendo: Así se hará al tal varón que lo venciere.
