SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:13
Y Saúl dijo: No morirá hoy ninguno, porque hoy ha obrado el SEÑOR salud en Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 11:13
Verse 13. There shall not a man be put to death] This was as much to Saul's credit as the lately proposed measure was to the discredit of his soldiers.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And Saul said , etc.] Preventing Samuel from giving an answer, being ready to forgive injuries; as it was in his power as a king, and him only, to pardon those persons that treated him in so ill a manner, and it was policy so to do, especially in the beginning of his reign; and it plainly appears that this temper did not always continue with him; though there is no reason to believe otherwise, that this was now owing to his lenity as well as his prudence: there shall not be a man put to death this day ; who by their appearance to his summons had testified their obedience, and by their courage and valour had showed their attachment to him, and to the interest of their country. Ben Gersom takes the sense to be, that it might be right after, but not on this day to put them to death; or that this was an artifice of Saul to deliver those men out of the hands of the Israelites, suggesting as if it was his intention hereafter to put them to death, though not now, for the following reason: for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel ; he does not ascribe the victory to the quick dispatch he made, to his wisdom and prudence in forming the scheme he did, and to his valour and courage, and that of his troops, but to the power and goodness of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-15 - They now honoured Saul whom they had despised; and if an enemy be mad a friend, that is more to our advantage than to have him slain. The once despised Saviour will at length be acknowledged by all as the Lord's own anointed king. As yet, upon his mercy-seat, he receives the submission of rebels, and even pleads their cause; but shortly, from his righteous tribunal, he will condemn all who persist in opposin him __________________________________________________________________
