Michal is given to Phalti Then you are to say to him This phrase sets the stage for a message of goodwill and blessing. In the context of ancient Israel, communication was often direct and purposeful, especially when delivered by a messenger. The Hebrew root for "say" (אָמַר, 'amar) implies a declaration or proclamation, indicating the importance and authority of the message being conveyed. This reflects the cultural and historical significance of spoken words in biblical times, where verbal communication was a primary means of conveying God's will and intentions. ‘Long life to you and peace to you and your house and peace to all that is yours To him that liveth in prosperity.--Considerable diversity of opinion exists as to the meaning of the Hebrew original here, lechai. The Vulg. alters the text slightly, and renders "to my brother." The LXX. have an impossible translation--"eis horas," for times, or for seasons. It is better, however, to take it as a popular expression of congratulation, not found, as Lange well puts it, in the literary language. So Luther, "glck auf," "may it turn out well," "may you be prosperous." The famous Hebrew commentator Raschi, and also the Babylonian Talmud, apparently understand it in this sense. Verses 6-8. - Say to him that liveth in prosperity. The Hebrew is obscure, but the rendering of the A.V. is untenable, and also very tame. Literally it is, "Ye shall say to him, For life!" Probably it was a colloquial form of greeting, and equivalent to "good luck, "success," life in Hebrew being sometimes used for prosperity. So Luther translates it, and Rashi and the Babylonian Talmud are also in its favour. The reading of the Vulgate, "To thy brothers" (be peace), is to be altogether rejected. We hurt them not. Literally, "we caused them no shame" (see Judges 18:7), we did nothing to vex and injure them. Really the words mean that David had protected them, and enabled them to feed their flocks in safety. The fact that David waited till the sheep shearing, when hospitality was the rule, proves that he did not levy blackmail upon his countrymen, though necessarily he must have depended upon them for the food indispensabIe for the support of his men. A good day. I.e. a festive day, which should bring us a share in thy prosperity. Thy son David. A title expressive of the reverence due from the youthful David to his senior, and an acknowledgment of Nabal's superiority over his fugitive neighbour.Parallel Commentaries ...
