Verse 12<\/span>. The Lord judge between me and thee<\/B><\/I>] Appeals of this kind to God are the common refuge of the poor and oppressed people. So also among the Hindoos: God will judge between us.<\/I> Mother Kalee will judge<\/I>. Sometimes this springs from a consciousness of innocence, and sometimes from a desire of revenge.<\/P> <\/p>\n Avenge me of thee, <\/B>or, will avenge me of thee<\/I>, to wit, if thou dost persist in thy injurious and cruel designs against me. <\/P> Mine hand shall not be upon thee; <\/B>I will not execute vengeance on thee, but will leave it wholly to God. <\/P> <\/p>\n The Lord judge between me and thee<\/strong>,…. And make it appear who is in the right, and who in the wrong:<\/p>\n and the Lord avenge me of thee<\/strong>; if he continued thus to persecute him:<\/p>\n but mine hand shall not be upon thee<\/strong>; to kill thee, though it may be in my power again to do it, as it has been; but this I am determined upon, let me suffer what I will, I will not lay hands on thee to do thee any hurt, but leave thee with God to requite all the evil done to me by thee.<\/p>\n After he had proved to the king in this conclusive manner that he had no reason whatever for seeking his life, he invoked the Lord as judge between him and his adversary: “ Jehovah will avenge me upon thee, but my hand will not be against thee. As the proverb of the ancients<\/em> ( is used collectively) says, Evil proceedeth from the evil, but my hand shall not be upon thee<\/em>.” The meaning is this: Only a wicked man could wish to avenge himself; I do not.<\/p>\n 1Sa 24:12<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>The Lord judge, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> These words, spoken by David to Saul, when it was in his power to have taken his life, most men will admit, did not imply that David <\/em>wished or desired that God would revenge <\/em>him upon Saul, but was a declaration, from the spirit of prophesy, that GOD would do it. But these expressions are so frequent in Scripture, and with such circumstances and aggravations, that many do believe that they are literally intended; and though it has been otherwise enjoined under the Gospel, under the law it was not only the custom and practice of pious men to pray for the conversion, but also for the confusion of wicked and impenitent persons, whose prosperity confirmed men in their unrighteousness, and was a dishonour to God. David, conscious of his innocence, refers his cause to God, the just judge; willing to leave it wholly to his righteous award, and determined not to judge for himself, or execute his vengeance upon his enemy, when he had that enemy in his power: and certainly, whoever will compare the 12th and 15th verses together, will see that the latter is explanatory of the former. The avenging <\/em>in the one, is the pleading his cause; <\/em>and delivering him out of Saul’s hand, <\/em>in the other. <\/p>\n 1Sa 24:12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.<\/p>\n Ver. 12. The Lord judge between me and thee.<\/strong> ] He appealeth to God the righteous Judge: as did Athanasius, when Constantine the Arian emperor sent him into banishment, Iudicet Dominus inter me et te, O Imperator, quia calumniis inimicorum credidisti.<\/em> So did John Huss, and many more martyrs, who cited their adversaries to answer them before God’s tribunal, setting them a time. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the Lord avenge me of thee.<\/strong> ] This he desireth ex recto iusticiae zelo,<\/em> from a right principle: and woe be to those whom God’s persecuted people shall put over to him to be punished. He is the Lord God of recompences, and will surely requite. Jer 51:56 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But mine hand shall not be upon thee.<\/strong> ] I will not do thee that wrong, nor myself that disservice; fear it not.<\/p>\n Lord judge: 1Sa 26:10, 1Sa 26:23, Gen 16:5, Jdg 11:27, Job 5:8, Psa 7:8, Psa 7:9, Psa 35:1, Psa 43:1, Psa 94:1, Rom 12:19, 1Pe 2:23, Rev 6:10 <\/p>\n but mine hand: 1Sa 26:11 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jdg 11:10 – be witness 1Sa 24:15 – be judge Psa 7:16 – General Psa 17:3 – shalt Psa 35:19 – that hate Psa 140:2 – continually Psa 143:12 – of thy mercy Pro 22:23 – the Lord Luk 18:7 – avenge Act 25:5 – if 2Ti 4:14 – reward<\/p>\n The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
