H3615
And it came to pass, when he had made an end
[H8763]
H1696
of speaking
[H8763]
H7586
unto Saul
H5315
, that the soul
H3083
of Jonathan
H7194
was knit
[H8738]
H5315
with the soul
H1732
of David
H3083
, and Jonathan
H157
loved
[H8799]
H5315
him as his own soul.
2
H7586
And Saul
H3947
took
[H8799]
H3117
him that day
H5414
, and would let
[H8804]
H7725
him go no more home
[H8800]
H1
to his father's
H1004
house.
3
H3083
Then Jonathan
H1732
and David
H3772
made
[H8799]
H1285
a covenant
H160
, because he loved
H5315
him as his own soul.
4
H3083
And Jonathan
H6584
stripped
[H8691]
H4598
himself of the robe
H5414
that was upon him, and gave
[H8799]
H1732
it to David
H4055
, and his garments
H2719
, even to his sword
H7198
, and to his bow
H2289
, and to his girdle.
5
H1732
And David
H3318
went out
[H8799]
H7586
whithersoever Saul
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H7919
him, and behaved himself wisely
[H8686]
H7586
: and Saul
H7760
set
[H8799]
H582
him over the men
H4421
of war
H3190
, and he was accepted
[H8799]
H5869
in the sight
H5971
of all the people
H5869
, and also in the sight
H7586
of Saul's
H5650
servants.
6
H935
And it came to pass as they came
[H8800]
H1732
, when David
H7725
was returned
[H8800]
H5221
from the slaughter
[H8687]
H6430
of the Philistine
H802
, that the women
H3318
came out
[H8799]
H5892
of all cities
H3478
of Israel
H7891
, singing
[H8800]
H4246
and dancing
H7125
, to meet
[H8800]
H4428
king
H7586
Saul
H8596
, with tabrets
H8057
, with joy
H7991
, and with instruments of musick.
7
H802
And the women
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H7832
one another as they played
[H8764]
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H7586
, Saul
H5221
hath slain
[H8689]
H505
his thousands
H1732
, and David
H7233
his ten thousands.
8
H7586
And Saul
H3966
was very
H2734
wroth
[H8799]
H1697
, and the saying
H3415
displeased
[H8799]
H5869
H559
him; and he said
[H8799]
H5414
, They have ascribed
[H8804]
H1732
unto David
H7233
ten thousands
H5414
, and to me they have ascribed
[H8804]
H505
but thousands
H4410
: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
10
H4283
And it came to pass on the morrow
H7451
, that the evil
H7307
spirit
H430
from God
H6743
came
[H8799]
H7586
upon Saul
H5012
, and he prophesied
[H8691]
H8432
in the midst
H1004
of the house
H1732
: and David
H5059
played
[H8764]
H3027
with his hand
H3117
, as at other times
H2595
: and there was a javelin
H7586
in Saul's
H3027
hand.
11
H7586
And Saul
H2904
cast
[H8686]
H2595
the javelin
H559
; for he said
[H8799]
H5221
, I will smite
[H8686]
H1732
David
H7023
even to the wall
H1732
with it . And David
H5437
avoided out
[H8735]
H6440
of his presence
H6471
twice.
12
H7586
And Saul
H3372
was afraid
[H8799]
H6440
of
H1732
David
H3068
, because the LORD
H5493
was with him, and was departed
[H8804]
H7586
from Saul.
13
H7586
Therefore Saul
H5493
removed
[H8686]
H7760
him from him, and made
[H8799]
H8269
him his captain
H505
over a thousand
H3318
; and he went out
[H8799]
H935
and came in
[H8799]
H6440
before
H5971
the people.
14
H1732
And David
H7919
behaved himself wisely
[H8688]
H1870
in all his ways
H3068
; and the LORD was with him.
15
H7586
Wherefore when Saul
H7200
saw
[H8799]
H7919
that he behaved
H3966
himself very
H7919
wisely
[H8688]
H1481
, he was afraid
[H8799]
H6440
of him.
16
H3478
But all Israel
H3063
and Judah
H157
loved
[H8802]
H1732
David
H3318
, because he went out
[H8802]
H935
and came in
[H8802]
H6440
before them.
17
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H1732
to David
H1419
, Behold my elder
H1323
daughter
H4764
Merab
H5414
, her will I give
[H8799]
H802
thee to wife
H1121
: only be thou valiant
H2428
H3898
for me, and fight
[H8734]
H3068
the LORD'S
H4421
battles
H7586
. For Saul
H559
said
[H8804]
H3027
, Let not mine hand
H3027
be upon him, but let the hand
H6430
of the Philistines be upon him.
18
H1732
And David
H559
said
[H8799]
H7586
unto Saul
H2416
, Who am I? and what is my life
H1
, or my father's
H4940
family
H3478
in Israel
H2860
, that I should be son in law
H4428
to the king?
19
H6256
But it came to pass at the time
H4764
when Merab
H7586
Saul's
H1323
daughter
H5414
should have been given
[H8800]
H1732
to David
H5414
, that she was given
[H8738]
H5741
unto Adriel
H4259
the Meholathite
H802
to wife.
20
H4324
And Michal
H7586
Saul's
H1323
daughter
H157
loved
[H8799]
H1732
David
H5046
: and they told
[H8686]
H7586
Saul
H1697
, and the thing
H3474
pleased
[H8799]
H5869
him.
21
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H5414
, I will give
[H8799]
H4170
him her, that she may be a snare
H3027
to him, and that the hand
H6430
of the Philistines
H7586
may be against him. Wherefore Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H1732
to David
H3117
, Thou shalt this day
H2859
be my son in law
[H8691]
H8147
in the one of the twain.
22
H7586
And Saul
H6680
commanded
[H8762]
H5650
his servants
H1696
, saying, Commune
[H8761]
H1732
with David
H3909
secretly
H559
, and say
[H8800]
H4428
, Behold, the king
H2654
hath delight
[H8804]
H5650
in thee, and all his servants
H157
love
[H8804]
H4428
thee: now therefore be the king's
H2859
son in law
[H8690]
.
23
H7586
And Saul's
H5650
servants
H1696
spake
[H8762]
H1697
those words
H241
in the ears
H1732
of David
H1732
. And David
H559
said
[H8799]
H5869
, Seemeth
H7043
it to you a light
[H8738]
H4428
thing to be a king's
H2859
son in law
[H8692]
H7326
, seeing that I am a poor
[H8802]
H376
man
H7034
, and lightly esteemed
[H8737]
?
24
H5650
And the servants
H7586
of Saul
H5046
told
[H8686]
H559
him, saying
[H8800]
H1697
, On this manner
H1696
spake
[H8765]
H1732
David.
25
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H559
, Thus shall ye say
[H8799]
H1732
to David
H4428
, The king
H2656
desireth
H4119
not any dowry
H3967
, but an hundred
H6190
foreskins
H6430
of the Philistines
H5358
, to be avenged
[H8736]
H4428
of the king's
H341
enemies
[H8802]
H7586
. But Saul
H2803
thought
[H8804]
H1732
to make David
H5307
fall
[H8687]
H3027
by the hand
H6430
of the Philistines.
26
H5650
And when his servants
H5046
told
[H8686]
H1732
David
H1697
these words
H3474
, it pleased
[H8799]
H1697
H5869
H1732
David
H4428
well to be the king's
H2859
son in law
[H8692]
H3117
: and the days
H4390
were not expired
[H8804]
.
27
H1732
Wherefore David
H6965
arose
[H8799]
H3212
and went
[H8799]
H582
, he and his men
H5221
, and slew
[H8686]
H6430
of the Philistines
H3967
two hundred
H376
men
H1732
; and David
H935
brought
[H8686]
H6190
their foreskins
H4390
, and they gave them in full tale
[H8762]
H4428
to the king
H4428
, that he might be the king's
H2859
son in law
[H8692]
H7586
. And Saul
H5414
gave
[H8799]
H4324
him Michal
H1323
his daughter
H802
to wife.
28
H7586
And Saul
H7200
saw
[H8799]
H3045
and knew
[H8799]
H3068
that the LORD
H1732
was with David
H4324
, and that Michal
H7586
Saul's
H1323
daughter
H157
loved
[H8804]
him.
29
H7586
And Saul
H3254
was yet the more
[H8686]
H3372
afraid
[H8800]
H6440
of
H1732
David
H7586
; and Saul
H1732
became David's
H341
enemy
[H8802]
H3117
continually.
30
H8269
Then the princes
H6430
of the Philistines
H3318
went forth
[H8799]
H1767
: and it came to pass, after
H3318
they went forth
[H8800]
H1732
, that David
H7919
behaved himself more wisely
[H8804]
H5650
than all the servants
H7586
of Saul
H8034
; so that his name
H3966
was much
H3365
set by
[H8799]
.
