King James Bible - 1 Samuel 24:12

SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:12

Juzgue el SEÑOR entre mí y ti, y véngueme de ti el SEÑOR; pero mi mano no será contra ti.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 24:12

Verse 12. The Lord judge between me and thee] Appeals of this kind to God are the common refuge of the poor and oppressed people. So also among the Hindoos: God will judge between us. Mother Kalee will judge.

Sometimes this springs from a consciousness of innocence, and sometimes from a desire of revenge.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. The Lord judge between me and thee , etc.] And make it appear who is in the right, and who in the wrong: and the Lord avenge me of thee ; if he continued thus to persecute him: but mine hand shall not be upon thee ; to kill thee, though it may be in my power again to do it, as it has been; but this I am determined upon, let me suffer what I will, I will not lay hands on thee to do thee any hurt, but leave thee with God to requite all the evil done to me by thee.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-15 - David was falsely charged with seeking Saul's hurt; he shows Saul tha God's providence had given him opportunity to do it. And it was upon good principle that he refused to do it. He declares his fixe resolution never to be his own avenger. If men wrong us, God will righ us, at farthest, in the judgment of the great day.
