1 Samuel 18:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:28

And Saul saw and knew that the Lord [was] with David
This he perceived by the favour he gave him among men, by overruling all the steps Saul took to do him hurt, for his good, and in giving him success in all that he engaged in; the Targum is,

``that the Word of the Lord was for the help of David:''

and [that] Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him;
and therefore could entertain no hope of making use of her as an instrument of his ruin, but, on the contrary, would, out of her great affection to her husband, betray the designs of her father against him, and do all she could to preserve him.

27 et post dies paucos surgens David abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant et percussis Philisthim ducentis viris adtulit praeputia eorum et adnumeravit ea regi ut esset gener eius dedit itaque ei Saul Michol filiam suam uxorem

28 et vidit Saul et intellexit quia Dominus esset cum David Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum

29 et Saul magis coepit timere David factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus

30 et egressi sunt principes Philisthinorum a principio autem egressionis eorum prudentius se gerebat David quam omnes servi Saul et celebre factum est nomen eius nimis
