1 Samuelis 24

Studie

   

1 Ascendit ergo David inde : et habitavit in locis tutissimis Engaddi.

2 Cumque reversus esset Saul, postquam persecutus est Philisthæos, nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes : Ecce, David in deserto est Engaddi.

3 Assumens ergo Saul tria millia electorum virorum ex omni Israël, perrexit ad investigandum David et viros ejus, etiam super abruptissimas petra, quæ solis ibicibus perviæ sunt.

4 Et venit ad caulas ovium, quæ se offerebant vianti : eratque ibi spelunca, quam ingressus est Saul, ut purgaret ventrem : porro David et viri ejus in interiore parte speluncæ latebant.

5 Et dixerunt servi David ad eum : Ecce dies, de qua locutus est Dominus ad te : Ego tradam tibi inimicum tuum, ut facias ei sicut placuerit in oculis tuis. Surrexit ergo David, et præcidit oram chlamydis Saul silenter.

6 Post hæc percussit cor suum David, eo quod abscidisset oram chlamydis Saul.

7 Dixitque ad viros suos : Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne faciam hanc rem domino meo, christo Domini, ut mittam manum meam in eum, quia christus Domini est.

8 Et confregit David viros suos sermonibus, et non permisit eos ut consurgerent in Saul : porro Saul exsurgens de spelunca, pergebat cœpto itinere.

9 Surrexit autem et David post eum : et egressus de spelunca, clamavit post tergum Saul, dicens : Domine mi rex. Et respexit Saul post se : et inclinans se David pronus in terram adoravit,

10 dixitque ad Saul : Quare audis verba hominum loquentium, David quærit malum adversum te ?

11 Ecce hodie viderunt oculi tui, quod tradiderit te Dominus in manu mea in spelunca : et cogitavi ut occiderem te, sed pepercit tibi oculus meus : dixi enim : Non extendam manum meam in dominum meum, quia christus Domini est.

12 Quin potius pater mi, vide, et cognosce oram chlamydis tuæ in manu mea : quoniam cum præscinderem summitatem chlamydis tuæ, nolui extendere manum meam in te : animadverte, et vide, quoniam non est in manu mea malum, neque iniquitas, neque peccavi in te : tu autem insidiaris animæ meæ ut auferas eam.

13 Judicet Dominus inter me et te, et ulciscatur me Dominus ex te : manus autem mea non sit in te.

14 Sicut et in proverbio antiquo dicitur : Ab impiis egredietur impietas : manus ergo mea non sit in te.

15 Quem persequeris, rex Israël ? quem persequeris ? canem mortuum persequeris, et pulicem unum.

16 Sit Dominus judex, et judicet inter me et te : et videat, et judicet causam meam, et eruat me de manu tua.

17 Cum autem complesset David loquens sermones hujuscemodi ad Saul, dixit Saul : Numquid vox hæc tua est fili mi David ? Et levavit Saul vocem suam, et flevit :

18 dixitque ad David : Justior tu es quam ego : tu enim tribuisti mihi bona : ego autem reddidi tibi mala.

19 Et tu indicasti hodie quæ feceris mihi bona : quomodo tradiderit me Dominus in manum tuam, et non occideris me.

20 Quis enim cum invenerit inimicum suum, dimittet eum in via bona ? Sed Dominus reddat tibi vicissitudinem hanc pro eo quod hodie operatus es in me.

21 Et nunc quia scio quod certissime regnaturus sis, et habiturus in manu tua regnum Israël :

22 jura mihi in Domino, ne deleas semen meum post me, neque auferas nomen meum de domo patris mei.

23 Et juravit David Sauli. Abiit ergo Saul in domum suam : et David et viri ejus ascenderunt ad tutiora loca.

David

  
David the King

David is one of the most significant figures in the Bible. He was a musician, one of history’s greatest poets, the boy warrior who killed the giant Goliath, a devout servant of God, a great leader of men and ultimately Israel’s greatest king. His stories cover the second half of the First Book of Samuel and all of the Second Book of Samuel, and his legacy was such that Jesus himself was born in the “City of David” to fulfill prophecies. For all that, David the man was not perfect. Most notoriously, he ordered his soldiers to make sure one of their comrades was killed in battle because he had seen the man’s wife bathing and wanted her as his own. He was also willing to actually ally with the Philistines for a time, while his predecessor Saul was still king. But in spiritual terms, David’s meaning matches his reputation: He represents the Lord, and especially the Lord as we are able to know Him and understand Him. The Writings call this “divine truth,” and it can be our ultimate guide if we want to serve the Lord and make His desires our own. This representation makes sense if we look at following the Lord as a whole picture. There are essentially two elements. First, we need to accept the Lord, believe in Him, open our hearts to Him, worship Him. These are matters of affection, and related to the Lord’s divine goodness. And they are generally represented by priests, who lead worship and perform rituals. Second, we need to act in accord with the Lord’s wishes: We need to serve others, care for those in need, defend the defenseless and work to make life and society better for everyone. These actions require thought, judgment, design, and are thus related to Lord’s divine truth, or divine guidance. They are generally represented by kings, who are men of action and are responsible for the activity of their nations. As the greatest of the kings, David represents this truth in its greatest form.
