SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:20
Y ahora, como yo entiendo que tú has de reinar, y que el reino de Israel ha de ser en tu mano firme y estable,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 24:20
Verse 20. I know well that thou shalt surely be king] Hebrew, Reigning, thou shalt reign. He knew this before; and yet he continued to pursue him with the most deadly hatred.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king , etc.] Not merely by the common report, that he was anointed by Samuel, to which yet he might give credit; but by the providence of God prospering and preserving him, and by his princely spirit and behaviour, and by calling to mind what Samuel had said to him, that his kingdom should be given to a neighbour of his better than he, and so David was by his own confession, ( 1 Samuel 24:17); and the cutting off the skirt of his garment might put him in remembrance of the rending of the skirt of Samuel’s mantle, upon which he told Saul his kingdom should be rent from him; though some think that was Saul’s skirt, and so now he knew thereby, when David cut off his skirt, that the kingdom would be his; and it is a tradition of the Jews f482 , that Samuel said to him at that time, that he that cut off the skirt of his garment should reign after him: and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand ; and not be rent from him; and yet notwithstanding after this he sought to destroy him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-22 - Saul speaks as quite overcome with David's kindness. Many mourn for their sins, who do not truly repent of them; weep bitterly for them yet continue in love and in league with them. Now God made good to David that word on which he had caused him to hope, that he would brin forth his righteousness as the light, Ps 37:6. Those who take care to keep a good conscience, may leave it to God to secure them the credi of it. Sooner or later, God will force even those who are of the synagogue of Satan to know and to own those whom he has loved. The parted in peace. Saul went home convinced, but not converted; ashame of his envy to David, yet retaining in his breast that root of bitterness; vexed that when at last he had found David, he could no find in his heart to destroy him, as he had designed. Malice ofte seems dead when it is only asleep, and will revive with double force Yet, whether the Lord bind men's hands, or affect their hearts, so tha they do not hurt us, the deliverance is equally from him; it is a evidence of his love, and an earnest of our salvation, and should make us thankful __________________________________________________________________
