1 Samuel 27

Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) · Português

1 E disse Davi em seu coração: Ao fim serei morto algum dia pela mão de Saul: nada portanto me será melhor que fugir à terra dos filisteus, para que Saul se deixe de mim, e não me ande buscando mais por todos os termos de Israel, e assim me escaparei de suas mãos. 2 Levantou-se, pois Davi, e com os seiscentos homens que tinha consigo passou-se a Aquis filho de Maoque, rei de Gate. 3 E morou Davi com Aquis em Gate, ele e os seus, cada um com sua família: Davi com suas duas mulheres, Ainoã jezreelita, e Abigail, a que foi mulher de Nabal o do Carmelo. 4 E veio a nova a Saul que Davi se havia fugido a Gate, e não o buscou mais. 5 E Davi disse a Aquis: Se achei agora favor em teus olhos, seja-me dado lugar em algumas das cidades da terra, de onde eu habite; por que teu servo deverá morar contigo na cidade real? 6 E Aquis lhe deu aquele dia a Ziclague. De aqui foi Ziclague dos reis de Judá até hoje. 7 E foi o número dos dias que Davi habitou na terra dos filisteus, quatro meses e alguns dias. 8 E subia Davi com os seus, e faziam entradas nos gesuritas, e nos gersitas, e nos amalequitas: porque estes habitavam de longo tempo a terra, desde como se vai a Sur até a terra do Egito. 9 E Davi aquela terra, e não deixava com vida homem nem mulher; e levava as ovelhas, as vacas, os asnos e os camelos e as roupas; e voltava, e vinha a Aquis. 10 E dizia Aquis: Onde atacastes hoje? E Davi dizia: Ao sul de Judá, e ao sul de Jerameel, ou contra o sul dos queneus. 11 Nem homem nem mulher deixava à vida Davi, que viesse a Gate; dizendo: Porque não deem aviso de nós, dizendo: Isto fez Davi. E este era seu costume todo aquele tempo que morou em terra dos filisteus. 12 E Aquis confiava em Davi, dizendo assim: Ele se faz abominável em seu povo de Israel, e será meu servo para sempre.

1 Samuel 27:1

1Sa 27:1-4. Saul Hearing That David Was Fled to Gath, Seeks No More for Him.

1. David said in his heart, ... there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines--This resolution of David's was, in every respect, wrong: (1) It was removing him from the place where the divine oracle intimated him to remain (1Sa 22:5); (2) It was rushing into the idolatrous land, for driving him into which he had denounced an imprecation on his enemies (1Sa 26:19); (3) It was a withdrawal of his counsel and aid from God's people. It was a movement, however, overruled by Providence to detach him from his country and to let the disasters impending over Saul and his followers be brought on by the Philistines.

1 Samuel 27:2-3

2-3. Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath--The popular description of this king's family creates a presumption that he was a different king from the reigning sovereign on David's first visit to Gath. Whether David had received a special invitation from him or a mere permission to enter his territories, cannot be determined. It is probable that the former was the case. From the universal notoriety given to the feud between Saul and David, which had now become irreconcilable, it might appear to Achish good policy to harbor him as a guest, and so the better pave the way for the hostile measures against Israel which the Philistines were at this time meditating.

1Sa 27:5-12. David Begs Ziklag of Achish.

1 Samuel 27:5

5. let them give me a place in some town in the country--It was a prudent arrangement on the part of David; for it would prevent him being an object of jealous suspicion, or of mischievous plots among the Philistines. It would place his followers more beyond the risk of contamination by the idolatries of the court and capital; and it would give him an opportunity of making reprisals on the freebooting tribes that infested the common border of Israel and the Philistines.

1 Samuel 27:6

6. Ziklag--Though originally assigned to Judah (Jos 15:31), and subsequently to Simeon (Jos 19:5), this town had never been possessed by the Israelites. It belonged to the Philistines, who gave it to David.

1 Samuel 27:8

8. David ... went up, and invaded the Geshurites--(See Jos 13:2).

and the Gezrites--or the Gerizi [Gesenius], (Jos 12:12), some Arab horde which had once encamped there.

and the Amalekites--Part of the district occupied by them lay on the south of the land of Israel (Jud 5:14; 12:15).

1 Samuel 27:10

10. Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to-day?--that is, raid, a hostile excursion for seizing cattle and other booty.

David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites--Jerahmeel was the great-grandson of Judah, and his posterity occupied the southern portion of that tribal domain.

the south of the Kenites--the posterity of Jethro, who occupied the south of Judah (Jud 1:16; Nu 24:21). The deceit practised upon his royal host and the indiscriminate slaughter committed, lest any one should escape to tell the tale, exhibit an unfavorable view of this part of David's history.
