And some bade me kill thee.--The literal translation here would be Jehovah delivered thee to-day into mine hand in the cave, and bade [me] kill thee. And this rendering has been explained by assuming that God's allowing Saul to choose the very cavern for his midday slumber where David and his company were lodging was tantamount to directing David to slay his bitter foe, thus given over helpless into his hands; but this is contrary to the spirit of the whole narrative. The English Version has followed the Syriac and Chaldee Versions here, and by supplying "some"--better, perhaps, one--before "bade me kill thee," has given us the sense in which the Hebrews have always understood the passage. The Vulg. here, with a very slight change in the vowel points, renders "I thought to kill thee." But mine eye spared thee.--The English Version supplies an obvious subject in "mine eye." Clericus suggests more happily, "my soul," or "my hand," before "spared thee." 24:8-15 David was falsely charged with seeking Saul's hurt; he shows Saul that God's providence had given him opportunity to do it. And it was upon a good principle that he refused to do it. He declares his fixed resolution never to be his own avenger. If men wrong us, God will right us, at farthest, in the judgment of the great day.Jump to Previous Anointed Bade Cave Delivered Eye Eyes Hand Kill LORD's Pity Spared Stretch Today To-DayJump to Next Anointed Bade Cave Delivered Eye Eyes Hand Kill LORD's Pity Spared Stretch Today To-DayLinks 1 Samuel 24:10 NIV1 Samuel 24:10 NLT 1 Samuel 24:10 ESV 1 Samuel 24:10 NASB 1 Samuel 24:10 KJV 1 Samuel 24:10 Bible Apps 1 Samuel 24:10 Biblia Paralela 1 Samuel 24:10 Chinese Bible 1 Samuel 24:10 French Bible 1 Samuel 24:10 German Bible Alphabetical: against and anointed' because Behold but cave day delivered eye eyes for given had hand hands have he how I in into is kill lift LORD Lord's master me my not on out own pity said seen Some spared stretch that the This to today urged will with you your OT History: 1 Samuel 24:10 Behold this day your eyes have seen (1Sa iSam 1 Sam i sa) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
