Глава 24

Machine translation from the original · Show original
David's stay in En-Gaddi. David's generosity towards Saul. 1 Samuel 24:1. And David went out from there and lived in the safe places of En-Gaddi. Yen Gaddi is a wild, mountainous area on the western shore of the Dead Sea. 1 Samuel 24:6. But after this it pained David’s heart that he cut off the edge of Saul’s robe. “David’s heart became painful” - with the consciousness of that low feeling to which he had just submitted (cf. 1 Sam. 24:7). 1 Samuel 24:15. Who did the king of Israel go up against? Who are you chasing? Behind a dead dog, behind one flea. “For a dead dog, for one flea.” Comparisons pointing to the disparity between the social status and military power of Saul and David. You might be interested in:
