10<\/strong>. with thy master’s servants<\/em> ] Achish speaks of David’s men as Saul’s subjects<\/em>, in view of the objection which has been made to their presence in the army.<\/p>\n with thee<\/em> ] After these words the Sept. (A B) adds: “And go ye unto the place which I have appointed you; and lay not up any evil thought in thine heart, for thou art good in my sight.”<\/p>\n With thy masters servants – <\/B>The clue to this may be found in 1Ch 12:19-21<\/span>, where it appears that a considerable number of Manassites fell to David just at this time, and went back with him to Ziklag. It is therefore to these new comers that Achish applies the expression. It is impossible not to recognize here a merciful interposition of Providence, by which David was not only saved from fighting against his king and country, but sent home just in time to recover his wives and property from the Amalekites 1 Sam. 30<\/span>. That David maintained his position by subtlety and falsehood, which were the invariable characteristics of his age and nation, is not in the least to be wondered at. No sanction is given by this narrative to the use of falsehood.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 10<\/span>. With thy master’s servants<\/B><\/I>] Who were these? has been very properly asked; and to this question there can be but two answers:-<\/P> <\/P> 1. The six hundred Israelites<\/I> which were with him; and who might still be considered the subjects of SAUL<\/I>, though now residing in a foreign land.<\/P> <\/P> 2. The servants of ACHISH; i.e., David’s men thus considered; because on his coming to Gath, he had in effect given up himself and his men to Achish. But Saul may be the master to whom Achish refers, and the words convey a delicate information to David that he is no vassal, but still at liberty.<\/P> <\/p>\n With thy masters servants; <\/B>he intimates the ground of the Philistines jealousy concerning David and his men, that they were all servants of Saul, and therefore had an obligation, and were suspected to have an affection, to their old lord and master, against whom even David himself could not make them fight, especially with and for the Philistines. <\/P> As soon as ye have light, <\/B>depart; before the battle begin, lest, if you delay, the lords of the Philistines fall upon you, and destroy you. <\/P> <\/p>\n Wherefore now rise up early with thy master’s servants that are come with thee<\/strong>,…. Meaning his six hundred men, who were considered as the servants and subjects of Saul, though with David: and which tacitly carried in it the objection of the Philistine lords unto them, that since they were the servants and subjects of Saul, they were not to be trusted in a battle with him; lest finding an opportunity, they should seize it, and thereby ingratiate themselves into his favour again:<\/p>\n and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart<\/strong>; he advises them to get away as soon as they could, lest the Philistines should fall upon them, and force them, and he could not say what mischief might befall them; wherefore for their safety it was best to depart as soon as they could see their way.<\/p>\n (10) With thy masters servants.<\/strong>The words have perplexed expositors. It is hardly the expression we should expect Achish to use of Davids followers. All Israelites were, of course, subjects of Saul, but the term would hardly be used except by one hostile to David, as Nabal was; he once (1Sa. 25:10<\/span>) made use of an insulting term of a like nature to David. Achish, we know, seemed ever kindly disposed to the outlawed son of Jesse. A probable suggestion has, however, been lately made, that the reference here is to those tribes of Manasseh (comp. 1Ch. 12:19-21<\/span>) who had only lately come over to David. Was it not also possible that these very Manassites, who had only very recently deserted the kings cause for Davids, were known to some of the Philistines as Sauls soldiers, and that their suspicions had been awakened in the first place <\/em>by finding them marching under Davids standard in the division of Gath?<\/p>\n 1Sa 29:10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.<\/p>\n Ver. 10. Wherefore now rise up early in the morning.<\/strong> ] Matutinum te age in mane,<\/em> get up by peep of day, before the fight begin. Oh, happy word! the fruit of prayer doubtless, and therefore the sweeter to David; who could the better digest the contumely of being cashiered the army. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n With thy master’s servants,] i.e., <\/em> Cum meis servis qui sum dominus tuus,<\/em> with my servants who are your lord, saith Piscator. But others understand it, and better, of Saul’s servants, and this bred the jealousy.<\/p>\n with thy master’s servants. Septuagint reads “thou, and the servants of thy lord”. Probably the Manassites named in 1Ch 12:19, 1Ch 12:20, who deserted to David. with thee. The Septuagint adds “and depart unto the place where I appointed you, and entertain no evil thought in thy heart; for thou art good in my sight”. <\/p>\n 1Sa 30:1, 1Sa 30:2, Gen 22:14, Psa 37:23, Psa 37:24, 1Co 10:13, 2Pe 2:9<\/p>\n 1Sa 29:10-11. With thy masters servants This intimates that the lords of the Philistines would not trust them, because they looked on them still as Sauls subjects. David and his men rose up early David did not then know how necessary this was for the relief of his own city. But God knew it well, and sent him thither accordingly. On how many occasions may we say, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter! <\/p>\n 29:10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy {f} master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.<\/p>\n (f) With them that fled to thee from Saul.<\/p>\n Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart. 10. with thy master’s servants ] Achish speaks of David’s men as Saul’s subjects, in view of the objection which has been made … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Samuel 29:10”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
