1 Samuel 18:5-30

And David
<01732>

went out
<03318> (8799)

whithersoever Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

him, [and] behaved himself wisely
<07919> (8686)_:

and Saul
<07586>

set
<07760> (8799)

him over the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

and he was accepted
<03190> (8799)

in the sight
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>_,

and also in the sight
<05869>

of Saul's
<07586>

servants
<05650>_.

{behaved...: or, prospered}

And it came to pass as they came
<0935> (8800)_,

when David
<01732>

was returned
<07725> (8800)

from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

that the women
<0802>

came out
<03318> (8799)

of all cities
<05892>

of Israel
<03478>_,

singing
<07891> (8800)

and dancing
<04246>_,

to meet
<07125> (8800)

king
<04428>

Saul
<07586>_,

with tabrets
<08596>_,

with joy
<08057>_,

and with instruments
<07991>

of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments...: Heb. three stringed instruments}

And the women
<0802>

answered
<06030> (8799)

[one another] as they played
<07832> (8764)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Saul
<07586>

hath slain
<05221> (8689)

his thousands
<0505>_,

and David
<01732>

his ten thousands
<07233>_.

And Saul
<07586>

was very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and the saying
<01697>

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

him; and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

They have ascribed
<05414> (8804)

unto David
<01732>

ten thousands
<07233>_,

and to me they have ascribed
<05414> (8804)

[but] thousands
<0505>_:

and [what] can he have more but the kingdom
<04410>_?

{displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}

And Saul
<07586>

eyed
<05770> (8802)

David
<01732>

from that day
<03117>

and forward
<01973>_.

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

from God
<0430>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon Saul
<07586>_,

and he prophesied
<05012> (8691)

in the midst
<08432>

of the house
<01004>_:

and David
<01732>

played
<05059> (8764)

with his hand
<03027>_,

as at other times
<03117>_:

and [there was] a javelin
<02595>

in Saul's
<07586>

hand
<03027>_.

And Saul
<07586>

cast
<02904> (8686)

the javelin
<02595>_;

for he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will smite
<05221> (8686)

David
<01732>

even to the wall
<07023>

[with it]. And David
<01732>

avoided out
<05437> (8735)

of his presence
<06440>

twice
<06471>_.

And Saul
<07586>

was afraid
<03372> (8799)

of
<06440>

David
<01732>_,

because the LORD
<03068>

was with him, and was departed
<05493> (8804)

from Saul
<07586>_.

Therefore Saul
<07586>

removed
<05493> (8686)

him from him, and made
<07760> (8799)

him his captain
<08269>

over a thousand
<0505>_;

and he went out
<03318> (8799)

and came in
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_.

And David
<01732>

behaved himself wisely
<07919> (8688)

in all his ways
<01870>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

[was] with him. {behaved...: or, prospered}

Wherefore when Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that he behaved
<07919> (0)

himself very
<03966>

wisely
<07919> (8688)_,

he was afraid
<01481> (8799)

of
<06440>

him.

But all Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>

loved
<0157> (8802)

David
<01732>_,

because he went out
<03318> (8802)

and came in
<0935> (8802)

before
<06440>

them.

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Behold my elder
<01419>

daughter
<01323>

Merab
<04764>_,

her will I give
<05414> (8799)

thee to wife
<0802>_:

only be thou valiant
<01121> <02428>

for me, and fight
<03898> (8734)

the LORD'S
<03068>

battles
<04421>_.

For Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Let not mine hand
<03027>

be upon him, but let the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>

be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

Who [am] I? and what [is] my life
<02416>_,

[or] my father's
<01>

family
<04940>

in Israel
<03478>_,

that I should be son in law
<02860>

to the king
<04428>_?

But it came to pass at the time
<06256>

when Merab
<04764>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

should have been given
<05414> (8800)

to David
<01732>_,

that she was given
<05414> (8738)

unto Adriel
<05741>

the Meholathite
<04259>

to wife
<0802>_.

And Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

loved
<0157> (8799)

David
<01732>_:

and they told
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_,

and the thing
<01697>

pleased
<03474> (8799) <05869>

him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will give
<05414> (8799)

him her, that she may be a snare
<04170>

to him, and that the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>

may be against him. Wherefore Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou shalt this day
<03117>

be my son in law
<02859> (8691)

in [the one of] the twain
<08147>_.

And Saul
<07586>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servants
<05650>_,

[saying], Commune
<01696> (8761)

with David
<01732>

secretly
<03909>_,

and say
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the king
<04428>

hath delight
<02654> (8804)

in thee, and all his servants
<05650>

love
<0157> (8804)

thee: now therefore be the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8690)_.

And Saul's
<07586>

servants
<05650>

spake
<01696> (8762)

those words
<01697>

in the ears
<0241>

of David
<01732>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Seemeth
<05869>

it to you [a] light
<07043> (8738)

[thing] to be a king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8692)_,

seeing that I [am] a poor
<07326> (8802)

man
<0376>_,

and lightly esteemed
<07034> (8737)_?

And the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>

told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

On this manner
<01697>

spake
<01696> (8765)

David
<01732>_.

{On...: Heb. According to these words}

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

The king
<04428>

desireth
<02656>

not any dowry
<04119>_,

but an hundred
<03967>

foreskins
<06190>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

to be avenged
<05358> (8736)

of the king's
<04428>

enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

But Saul
<07586>

thought
<02803> (8804)

to make David
<01732>

fall
<05307> (8687)

by the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And when his servants
<05650>

told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

these words
<01697>_,

it pleased
<03474> (8799) <01697> <05869>

David
<01732>

well to be the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8692)_:

and the days
<03117>

were not expired
<04390> (8804)_.

{expired: Heb. fulfilled}

Wherefore David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)_,

he and his men
<0582>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

of the Philistines
<06430>

two hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_;

and David
<01732>

brought
<0935> (8686)

their foreskins
<06190>_,

and they gave them in full tale
<04390> (8762)

to the king
<04428>_,

that he might be the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8692)_.

And Saul
<07586>

gave
<05414> (8799)

him Michal
<04324>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

And Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8799)

and knew
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

[was] with David
<01732>_,

and [that] Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

loved
<0157> (8804)

him.

And Saul
<07586>

was yet the more
<03254> (8686)

afraid
<03372> (8800)

of
<06440>

David
<01732>_;

and Saul
<07586>

became David's
<01732>

enemy
<0341> (8802)

continually
<03117>_.

Then the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_:

and it came to pass, after
<01767>

they went forth
<03318> (8800)_,

[that] David
<01732>

behaved himself more wisely
<07919> (8804)

than all the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>_;

so that his name
<08034>

was much
<03966>

set by
<03365> (8799)_.
