Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Samuel. Saul attempts to kill David while he is playing the harp, confirming that jealousy has become violence. Nevertheless, David continues to succeed militarily and the Lord is with him. Saul eventually removes him from his immediate presence and appoints him commander. David’s rise does not come from a personal pursuit of power, but from his ability and divine blessing upon his actions. Saul’s hostility becomes paradoxical: the more he attempts to diminish David, the more his success increases.

Da tat ihn Saul von sich und setzte ihn zum Fürsten über tausend Mann; und er zog aus und ein vor dem Volk.
Apartolo pues Saúl de sí, e hízole capitán de mil; y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
Por eso Saúl lo alejó de su presencia y lo nombró jefe de mil hombres. David salía y entraba al frente del pueblo.
Il l'éloigna de sa personne, et il l'établit chef de mille hommes. David sortait et rentrait à la tête du peuple;
Laonde Saulle lo rimosse d’appresso a sè, e lo costituì capitano di mille uomini; ed egli andava e veniva davanti al popolo.
Por isso Saul o desviou de si, e o pôs por capitão de mil; e saía e entrava diante do povo.
所以 掃羅 叫 大衛 離開自己,立他為千夫長,他就領兵出入。
