1 Samuel 17:42 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:42

And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he
disdained him
He looked about for his antagonist, to take a view of him, what sort of a man he was, expecting to see one much like himself; but observing a puny young man, he despised him in his heart, and perhaps looked upon it as an affront to him to send such a man to fight with him:

for he was [but] a youth;
his age was one reason why he despised him, being, as before observed, about twenty years of age, and not come to his full strength, a stripling, as he is called, ( 1 Samuel 17:56 ) , another reason follows,

and ruddy, and of a fair countenance;
looked effeminate, had not the appearance of a soldier, of a weather beaten veteran, exposed to heat and cold, and inured to hardships.

1 Samuel 17:42 In-Context

40 tom贸 su cayado en su mano, y se tom贸 cinco piedras lisas del arroyo, y las puso en el saco pastoril, en el zurr贸n que tra铆a, y con su honda en su mano se fue hacia el filisteo.
41 Y el filisteo ven铆a andando y acerc谩ndose a David, y su escudero delante de 茅l.
42 Y cuando el filisteo mir贸 y vio a David le tuvo en poco; porque era joven, y rojo (de buen color ), y de hermoso parecer.
43 Y dijo el filisteo a David: 驴Soy yo perro para que vengas a m铆 con palos? Y maldijo a David por sus dioses.
44 Dijo luego el filisteo a David: Ven a m铆, y dar茅 tu carne a las aves del cielo, y a las bestias de la tierra.
