SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:6
¶ Y Aquis llamó a David, y le dijo: Vive el SEÑOR, que tú has sido recto, y que me ha parecido bien tu salida y entrada en el campamento conmigo, y que ninguna cosa mala he hallado en ti desde el día que viniste a mí hasta hoy; mas en los ojos de los príncipes no agradas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 29:6
Verse 6. Thou hast been upright] So he thought, for as yet he had not heard of the above transaction; David having given him to understand that he had been fighting against Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Then Achish called David , etc.] Being so near him, that he could call unto him himself, or he sent some person to him, to require his presence with him: and said unto him, surely, [as] the Lord liveth ; or “Jehovah liveth”; an oath by the true God, of whom Achish might have some knowledge, as he also had of angels, from his conversation with David; though the Heathens had a notion of a supreme Being, and yet worshipped other gods, and whom they called Jove, from this name of Jehovah. Kimchi observes, that all confess a first cause; and therefore when he swore to David, he swore by him in whom David believed, perhaps out of complaisance to him, or that David might pay the greater regard to his oath: thou hast been upright ; sincere, honest, faithful, and just in all his deportment; yet not so sincere as he thought him to be, witness the road he pretended he had taken against the south of Judah, ( 1 Samuel 27:1-12); and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in sight ; his behaviour in the army, attending him as the keeper of his head, or captain of his bodyguard, was exceeding agreeable to him, and he could wish to have him continued: for I have not found evil in thee, since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day ; whatever he had done before to the Philistines, having greatly afflicted and distressed them in his wars with them, of which this seems to be an exception: nevertheless, the lords favour thee not ; or thou art not acceptable to them, yea, very offensive and disagreeable.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - David scarcely ever had a greater deliverance than when dismissed from such insnaring service. God's people should always behave themselve so, as, if possible, to get the good word of all they have dealing with: and it is due to those who have acted well, to speak well of them __________________________________________________________________
