1 Samuel 20
Albert Barnes · Citado em PreceptAustin
1 Samuel 20
Barnes - While Saul was under the constraining influence of the spirit of prophecy, David escaped from Naioth, and, probably by Samuel’s advice, returned to Saul’s court to commune with Jonathan. Nothing could be a better evidence of his innocence than thus putting himself in Jonathan’s power. What have I done? What is my iniquity ('avon)? And what is my sin (chattat/chattath) before your father, that he is seeking my life - Three questions from David, all having to do with misdeeds of some sort. While David undoubtedly knew he was not perfect, he knew of no great sin against King Saul that would warrant his death warrant. It seems that David was a bit naive in not grasping that Saul was insanely jealous of David's repeated successes.
1 Samuel 20
Barnes - Jonathan’s unwillingness to believe evil of his father is one of the many admirable traits in his character.
