1 Samuel 29:6

La Bible David Martin

Akis donc appela David, et lui dit : L'Eternel est vivant, que tu es certainement un homme droit, et que ta conduite au camp m'a paru bonne, car je n'ai point trouvé de mal en toi, depuis le jour que tu es venu à moi jusqu'à ce jour; mais tu ne plais point aux Gouverneurs.

Akish appela donc David, et lui dit: L'Éternel est vivant! tu es un homme droit, et j'aimerais à te voir sortir et entrer au camp avec moi; car je n'ai point trouvé de mal en toi, depuis le jour où tu vins vers moi jusqu'à ce jour-ci; mais tu ne plais point aux princes.

Darby's French Translation
Et Akish appela David, et lui dit: L'Éternel est vivant, que tu es un homme droit, et ta sortie et ton entrée avec moi à l'armée ont été bonnes à mes yeux, car je n'ai pas trouvé de mal en toi depuis le jour de ton entrée auprès de moi jusqu'à ce jour; mais tu n'es pas agréable aux yeux des princes.

Louis Segond (1910)

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Achish called David,.... Being so near him, that he could call unto him himself, or he sent some person to him, to require his presence with him:

and said unto him, surely, [as] the Lord liveth; or "Jehovah liveth"; an oath by the true God, of whom Achish might have some knowledge, as he also had of angels, from his conversation with David; though the Heathens had a notion of a supreme Being, and yet worshipped other gods, and whom they called Jove, from this name of Jehovah. Kimchi observes, that all confess a first cause; and therefore when he swore to David, he swore by him in whom David believed, perhaps out of complaisance to him, or that David might pay the greater regard to his oath:

thou hast been upright; sincere, honest, faithful, and just in all his deportment; yet not so sincere as he thought him to be, witness the road he pretended he had taken against the south of Judah, 1 Samuel 27:1;

and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in sight; his behaviour in the army, attending him as the keeper of his head, or captain of his bodyguard, was exceeding agreeable to him, and he could wish to have him continued:

for I have not found evil in thee, since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day; whatever he had done before to the Philistines, having greatly afflicted and distressed them in his wars with them, of which this seems to be an exception:

nevertheless, the lords favour thee not; or thou art not acceptable to them, yea, very offensive and disagreeable.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As the Lord liveth - The swearing by Yahweh seems strange in the mouth of a Philistine. But probably not the very words, but only the sense of this and such like speeches, is preserved.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 29:6. Thou hast been upright — So he thought, for as yet he had not heard of the above transaction; David having given him to understand that he had been fighting against Israel.
