SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:1
¶ Y David huyó de Naiot que es en Ramá, y vino delante de Jonatán, y dijo: ¿Qué he hecho yo ? ¿Cuál es mi maldad, o cuál mi pecado contra tu padre, que él busca mi vida?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 20:1
Verse 1. David fled frown Naioth] On hearing that Saul had come to that place, knowing that he was no longer in safety, he fled for his life.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And David fled from Naioth in Ramah , etc.] While Saul was prophesying, or lay in a trance there: and came ; to Gibeah, where Saul dwelt, and had his palace, and kept his court: and said before Jonathan ; whom he found there, and for whose sake he thither fled to have his advice, and to use his interest with his father, and be his friend at court: what have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what [is] my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life ? surely, as if he should say, I must have been guilty of some very great crime, and yet I am not sensible of it; canst thou tell me what it is that has so provoked thy father, that nothing will satisfy him but the taking away of my life, which he seeks to do?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - The trials David met with, prepared him for future advancement. Thu the Lord deals with those whom he prepares unto glory. He does not pu them into immediate possession of the kingdom, but leads them to it through much tribulation, which he makes the means of fitting them for it. Let them not murmur at his gracious appointment, nor distrust his care; but let them look forward with joyful expectation to the crow which is laid up for them. Sometimes it appears to us that there is but a step between us and death; at all times it may be so, and we shoul prepare for the event. But though dangers appear most threatening, we cannot die till the purpose of God concerning us is accomplished; no till we have served our generation according to his will, if we ar believers. Jonathan generously offers David his services. This is tru friendship. Thus Christ testifies his love to us, Ask, and it shall be done for you; and we must testify our love to him, by keeping his commandments.
