SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:16
Esto que has hecho, no está bien. Vive el SEÑOR, que sois dignos de muerte, que no habéis guardado a vuestro señor, al ungido del SEÑOR. Mira, pues, ahora dónde está la lanza del rey, y la botija del agua que estaba a su cabecera.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. This thing [is] not good that thou hast done , etc.] Yea, it was very bad, a great fault, and very blameworthy, if he had neglected to set a watch over the king, whose business it was as a general; the words are expressed in a figure called “meiosis”, in which less is said than was intended: [as] the Lord liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the Lord’s anointed ; if a watch was set, and these had fallen asleep, and neglected their duty, or had deserted their post; which to do was a capital crime, and deserving of death; wherefore he does not say this of Abner, but of the watch: and now see where the king’s spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster ; which he then held up as proofs and evidences of the truth of what be said, that one had been in the camp and had carried off these, and who could as easily have destroyed the king as to have taken these away; and as he came hither with an intent to destroy him, would have done it, had he not been prevented by David; all which likewise plainly proved the negligence of Abner, in not setting a watch about his master, or the negligence of the watch that was set.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-20 - David reasoned seriously and affectionately with Saul. Those who forbi our attendance on God's ordinances, do what they can to estrange u from God, and to make us heathens. We are to reckon that which expose us to sin the greatest injury that can be done us. If the Lord stirre thee up against me, either in displeasure to me, taking this way to punish me for my sins against him, or in displeasure to thee, if it by the effect of that evil spirit from the Lord which troubles thee; le Him accept an offering from us both. Let us join in seeking peace, an to be reconciled with God by sacrifice.
