1 Samuel 18:7-21

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>_.
