1. 영혼끼리 사랑?

다윗의 승리를 보고 사울의 아들 요나단은 다윗이 퍽이나 마음에 들었나 봅니다. 요나단은 다윗에게 자신의 갑옷이니 뭐니 다 그에게 주었는데요. 그렇다면 또래로 보입니다. 여하튼 둘의 영혼이 사랑에 빠졌다고 하는데요. 학자들은 이를 깊은 신의를 지닌 우정으로 보고 있습니다.

요나단이 질투할 법도 한데 요나단은 다윗의 용기를 인정하고 엄청 지지하게 되나 봅니다.

 

1. As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house. 3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. 4. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armour,  and even his sword and his bow and his belt. 5 And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

2. 영웅 탄생

다윗은 영웅이 되었고, 여인들은 사울은 천천이오 다윗은 만만이라며 그를 더 높이 추앙하며 노래를 부르고 다녔습니다. 

As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet KING Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments. 7 And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, 

"Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands."

 

당연히 사울은 엄청 화가 났고요. 그래서 질투에 눈이 멀어 다윗을 죽일 생각까지 한 것 같습니다.

8. And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands, and what more can he have but the kingdom?" 9 AND Saul kept an eye on David from that day on.

 

 

여담이지만, 한동훈이 총선 때 비대위원장이 되고 첫 부산 유세 때 엄청나게 많은 인파를 몰고 사람들이 대환호를 했었는데요. 이때는 극우 유튜버들도 한동훈을 칭송하던 때였죠. 그런데 윤석열 부부가 이걸 보고 자기 선거한다면서 이때부터 질투에 눈이 돌아갔다는 소문이 돌았습니다. 어차피 한동훈이 인기가 있어야 당이 살고 자기도 사는 건데 이후 한동훈의 모든 일을 사사건건 방해하더니 결국 탄핵이 되었죠. 이렇게 인간의 질투가 무서운 것 같습니다.

 

그리고 같은 상황에서 오히려 사울왕보다 후계자인 요나단이 더 질투해서 다윗을 없앴을 수도 있었는데 요나단은 진정한 현인처럼 보이네요.

 

3. 해로운 영이 사울에게 임하다

뭔가 광기에 휩싸인 것을 하나님의 해로운 영이 임했다고 하나 봅니다. 사울은 다윗이 인기에 미치고 팔짝 뛸 노릇이었던 거죠. 다윗은 평소처럼 수금을 타고 있었고요. 

10. The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand. 11 And Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice.

 

 

12 Saul was afraid of David because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul. 13 So Saul removed him from his presene and made him a commander of a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people. 14 And DAvid had success in all his undertakings, for the LORD was with him. 15 AND when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in fearful awe of him. 16 BUT all Israel and JUdah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.

 

사울의 공격을 요리조리 피하면서 잘 버틴 모양입니다.

4. 사울의 계략

이 부분도 상당히 흥미롭습니다. 사울은 다윗을 없애기 위해 큰딸 메랍과 결혼을 시키려고 합니다. 그러면서 전쟁에서 이기고 돌아오라고 해서 실은 전쟁에서 죽길 바라는 거죠. 다윗은 자신을 낮추며 자기가 어떻게 왕의 딸과 결혼을 하느냐고 부담스러워합니다. 그래서 메랍은 다른 사람과 결혼을 하였습니다.

 

17 Then Saul said to DAvid, "Here is my elder daughter Merab. I WILL give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me and fight the LOrd's battles." For Saul thought, "Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the PHilistines be against him." 18 And David said to Saul, "Who am I , who are my relatives, my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?" 19 But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

 

그런데 다윗은 작은 딸 미갈을 사랑하게 됩니다. 그러자 사울은 이것을 또 다윗을 죽일 계획으로 삼습니다. 그래서 다윗에게 결혼을 제안하면서 블레셋 사람 100명의 포피를 가져오라고 합니다. 이것은 할례 받지 않은 블레셋 남자 음경의 포피를 벗겨서 가져오라는 의미였습니다. 끔찍디 끔찍합니다. 그런데 다윗은 200명을 죽여 포피를 가져갑니다.

 

20 Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 Saul thought, " Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law." 22 And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to Daid in private and say, 'Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now then become king's son-in-law.'" 23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?" 24 And the servants o haf Saul told him, "Thus and so did David speak." 25 Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, 'The king desires no bride price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies." Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 26 AND when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired, 27 David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the PHIlistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. ANd Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife. 28 But when Saul saw and knew that the LOrd was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him, 29 Saul was even more afraid of David, So Saul was David's enemy continually.

 

그렇게 일을 야무지게 잘하니 사울은 점점 불안과 두려움을 가지고 시기 질투에 눈이 멀어 다윗을 평생 미워하고 원수가 됩니다. 어쨌거나 장인 어른이 된 거네요.

30 Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more succss than all the servants of SAul, so that his name was highly esteemed.

6. 백성의 우상이 된 다윗

하는 일마다 매력도 넘치고 성과가 좋으니 백성들이 다윗을 인정하고 사랑하게 되고 사울은 점점 더 질투심에 심신이 피폐해 지게 됩니다.

마무리

사무엘상 18장은 다윗의 뛰어난 활약상도 그렇지만 그런 젊은 청년에게 질투를 한 사울의 몰락이 아주 인상적인 장이었습니다.
