1
H3615 [H8763]
And it came to pass, when he had finished
H1696 [H8763]
speaking
H7586
to Saul
H5315
, that the soul
H3083
of Jonathan
H7194 [H8738]
was knit
H5315
with the soul
H1732
of David
H3083
, and Jonathan
H157 [H8799]
loved
H5315
him as his own soul.
2
H7586
And Saul
H3947 [H8799]
took
H3117
him that day
H5414 [H8804]
, and would let
H7725 [H8800]
him go no more home
H1
to his father's
H1004
house.
3
H3083
Then Jonathan
H1732
and David
H3772 [H8799]
made
H1285
a covenant
H160
, because he loved
H5315
him as his own soul.
4
H3083
And Jonathan
H6584 [H8691]
stripped
H4598
himself of the robe
H5414 [H8799]
that was upon him, and gave
H1732
it to David
H4055
, and his garments
H2719
, even to his sword
H7198
, and to his bow
H2289
, and to his belt.
5
H1732
And David
H3318 [H8799]
went out
H7586
wherever Saul
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H7919 [H8686]
him, and behaved himself wisely
H7586
: and Saul
H7760 [H8799]
set
H582
him over the men
H4421
of war
H3190 [H8799]
, and he was accepted
H5869
in the sight
H5971
of all the people
H5869
, and also in the sight
H7586
of Saul's
H5650
servants.
6
H935 [H8800]
And it came to pass as they came
H1732
, when David
H7725 [H8800]
had returned
H5221 [H8687]
from the slaughter
H6430
of the Philistine
H802
, that the women
H3318 [H8799]
came out
H5892
of all the cities
H3478
of Israel
H7891 [H8800]
, singing
H4246
and dancing
H7125 [H8800]
, to meet
H4428
king
H7586
Saul
H8596
, with tabrets
H8057
, with joy
H7991
, and with instruments of music.
7
H802
And the women
H6030 [H8799]
spoke to
H7832 [H8764]
one another as they played
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H7586
, Saul
H5221 [H8689]
hath slain
H505
his thousands
H1732
, and David
H7233
his ten thousands.
8
H7586
And Saul
H3966
was very
H2734 [H8799]
angry
H1697
, and the saying
H3415 H5869 [H8799]
displeased
H559 [H8799]
him; and he said
H5414 [H8804]
, They have ascribed
H1732
to David
H7233
ten thousands
H5414 [H8804]
, and to me they have ascribed
H505
thousands
H4410
: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
9
H7586
And Saul
H5770 [H8802]
kept a jealous eye on
H1732
David
H3117
from that day
H1973
and onward.
10
H4283
And it came to pass on the next day
H7451
, that the evil
H7307
spirit
H430
from God
H6743 [H8799]
came
H7586
upon Saul
H5012 [H8691]
, and he prophesied
H8432
in the midst
H1004
of the house
H1732
: and David
H5059 [H8764]
played
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 [H8686]
cast
H2595
the javelin
H559 [H8799]
; for he said
H5221 [H8686]
, I will smite
H1732
David
H7023
even to the wall
H1732
. And David
H5437 [H8735]
escaped
H6440
from his presence
H6471
twice.
12
H7586
And Saul
H3372 [H8799]
was afraid
H6440
of
H1732
David
H3068
, because the LORD
H5493 [H8804]
was with him, and had departed
H7586
from Saul.
13
H7586
Therefore Saul
H5493 [H8686]
removed
H7760 [H8799]
him from him, and made
H8269
him his captain
H505
over a thousand
H3318 [H8799]
; and he went out
H935 [H8799]
and came in
H6440
before
H5971
the people.
14
H1732
And David
H7919 [H8688]
behaved himself wisely
H1870
in all his ways
H3068
; and the LORD was with him.
15
H7586
Therefore when Saul
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H7919 0
that he behaved
H3966
himself very
H7919 [H8688]
wisely
H1481 [H8799]
, he was afraid
H6440
of him.
16
H3478
But all Israel
H3063
and Judah
H157 [H8802]
loved
H1732
David
H3318 [H8802]
, because he went out
H935 [H8802]
and came in
H6440
before them.
17
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H1732
to David
H1419
, Behold my elder
H1323
daughter
H4764
Merab
H5414 [H8799]
, her will I give
H802
thee for a wife
H1121 H2428
: only be thou valiant
H3898 [H8734]
for me, and fight
H3068
the LORD'S
H4421
battles
H7586
. For Saul
H559 [H8804]
said
H3027
, Let not my hand
H3027
be upon him, but let the hand
H6430
of the Philistines be upon him.
18
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H7586
to 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 [H8800]
should have been given
H1732
to David
H5414 [H8738]
, that she was given
H5741
to Adriel
H4259
the Meholathite
H802
for a wife.
20
H4324
And Michal
H7586
Saul's
H1323
daughter
H157 [H8799]
loved
H1732
David
H5046 [H8686]
: and they told
H7586
Saul
H1697
, and the thing
H3474 H5869 [H8799]
pleased him.
21
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H5414 [H8799]
, I will give
H4170
her to him, that she may be a snare
H3027
to him, and that the hand
H6430
of the Philistines
H7586
may be against him. Therefore Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H1732
to David
H3117
, Thou shalt this day
H2859 [H8691]
be my son in law
H8147
in the one of the two.
22
H7586
And Saul
H6680 [H8762]
commanded
H5650
his servants
H1696 [H8761]
, saying, Speak
H1732
with David
H3909
secretly
H559 [H8800]
, and say
H4428
, Behold, the king
H2654 [H8804]
hath delight
H5650
in thee, and all his servants
H157 [H8804]
love
H4428
thee: now therefore be the king's
H2859 [H8690]
son in law.
23
H7586
And Saul's
H5650
servants
H1696 [H8762]
spoke
H1697
those words
H241
in the ears
H1732
of David
H1732
. And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H5869
, Seemeth
H7043 [H8738]
it to you a light
H4428
thing to be a king's
H2859 [H8692]
son in law
H7326 [H8802]
, seeing that I am a poor
H376
man
H7034 [H8737]
, and lightly esteemed?
24
H5650
And the servants
H7586
of Saul
H5046 [H8686]
told
H559 [H8800]
him, saying
H1697
, On this manner
H1696 [H8765]
spoke
H1732
David.
25
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H559 [H8799]
, Thus shall ye say
H1732
to David
H4428
, The king
H2656
desireth
H4119
not any dowry
H3967
, but an hundred
H6190
foreskins
H6430
of the Philistines
H5358 [H8736]
, to be avenged
H4428
of the king's
H341 [H8802]
enemies
H7586
. But Saul
H2803 [H8804]
thought
H1732
to make David
H5307 [H8687]
fall
H3027
by the hand
H6430
of the Philistines.
26
H5650
And when his servants
H5046 [H8686]
told
H1732
David
H1697
these words
H3474 H1697 H5869 [H8799]
, it pleased
H1732
David
H4428
well to be the king's
H2859 [H8692]
son in law
H3117
: and the days
H4390 [H8804]
had not expired.
27
H1732
Therefore David
H6965 [H8799]
arose
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H582
, he and his men
H5221 [H8686]
, and slew
H6430
of the Philistines
H3967
two hundred
H376
men
H1732
; and David
H935 [H8686]
brought
H6190
their foreskins
H4390 [H8762]
, and they gave them in full number
H4428
to the king
H4428
, that he might be the king's
H2859 [H8692]
son in law
H7586
. And Saul
H5414 [H8799]
gave
H4324
him Michal
H1323
his daughter
H802
for a wife.
28
H7586
And Saul
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H3045 [H8799]
and knew
H3068
that the LORD
H1732
was with David
H4324
, and that Michal
H7586
Saul's
H1323
daughter
H157 [H8804]
loved him.
29
H7586
And Saul
H3254 [H8686]
was yet the more
H3372 [H8800]
afraid
H6440
of
H1732
David
H7586
; and Saul
H1732
became David's
H341 [H8802]
enemy
H3117
continually.
30
H8269
Then the princes
H6430
of the Philistines
H3318 [H8799]
went forth
H1767
: and it came to pass, after
H3318 [H8800]
they went forth
H1732
, that David
H7919 [H8804]
behaved himself more wisely
H5650
than all the servants
H7586
of Saul
H8034
; so that his name
H3966
was much
H3365 [H8799]
esteemed.
