1: Now,H1961 when he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 toH0413 Saul,H7586 and the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 to the soulH5315 of David,H1732 and loved himH0157 JonathanH3083 as his own soul.H5315
2: And took himH3947 SaulH7586 day,H3117 thatH1931 and not anymoreH3808 would let himH5414 go homeH7725 to houseH1004 of his father.H0001
3: And madeH3772 JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 a covenant,H1285 because of his loveH0160 for himH0853 as his own soul.H5315
4: And took offH6584 JonathanH3083 -H0853 the robe [was]H4598 thatH0834 on himH5921 and gave itH5414 to David,H1732 and with his armor,H4055 and even toH5704 his sword,H2719 andH5704 his bow,H7198 andH5704 his belt.H2290
5: So went outH3318 DavidH1732 whereverH3605 whereverH0834 sent himH7971 SaulH7586 [and] behaved wisely-H7919 and set himH7760 SaulH7586 overH5921 the menH0582 of war,H4421 and he was acceptedH3190 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the people,H5971 and alsoH1571 in the sightH5869 of servantsH5650 of Saul.H7586
6: And it had happenedH1961 as they were coming [home],H0935 when was returningH7725 DavidH1732 from the slaughterH5221 ofH0853 the Philistine,H6430 that had come outH3318 the womenH0802 of allH3605 the citiesH5892 of Israel,H3478 singingH7891 and dancing,H4246 to meetH7122 Saul,H7586 KingH4428 with tambourines,H8596 with joy,H8057 and with musical instruments.H7991
7: So sangH6030 the womenH0802 as they danced,H7832 and said,H0559 has slainH5221 SaulH7586 [his] thousands,H0505 and DavidH1732 [his] ten thousands.H7233
8: And was angry,H2734 SaulH7586 veryH3966 and displeasedH7489 himH5869 sayingH1697 thisH2088 and he said,H0559 they have ascribedH5414 to DavidH1732 ten thousands,H7233 they have ascribed [only]H5414 thousands.H0505 And [what] more can haveH5750 butH0389 the kingdom?H4410
9: soH1961 SaulH7586 eyedH5771 -H0853 DavidH1732 from dayH3117 thatH1931 and forward.H1973
10: And it came to passH1961 on the next day,H4283 that cameH6743 the spiritH7307 from GodH0430 distressingH7451 uponH0413 Saul,H7586 and he prophesiedH5012 inside theH8432 house,H1004 so DavidH1732 played [music]H5059 with his hand,H3027 dayH3117 as at other times-H3117 but [there was] a spearH2595 in handH3027 of Saul.H7586
11: And castH2904 SaulH7586 -H0853 the spear-H2595 for he said,H0559 I will pinH5221 DavidH1732 and to the wallH7023 but escapedH5437 DavidH1732 his presenceH6440 twice.H6471
12: And was afraidH3372 SaulH7586 ofH6440 David,H1732 becauseH3588 wasH1961 YahwehH3068 with himH5973 but fromH5973 SaulH7586 had departed.H5493
13: Therefore removed himH5493 SaulH7586 from his presenceH5973 and made himH7760 captain overH8269 a thousand-H0505 and he went outH3318 and came inH0935 beforeH6440 the people.H5971
14: AndH1961 DavidH1732 in allH3605 his ways-H1870 behaved wiselyH7919 and Yahweh [was]H3068 with him.H5973
15: Therefore when sawH7200 SaulH7586 thatH0834 heH1931 behaved wiselyH7919 very,H3966 and he was afraidH1481 of him.H6440
16: But allH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH0157 -H0853 David,H1732 becauseH3588 heH1931 went outH3318 and came inH0935 before them.H6440
17: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 David,H1732 Here isH2009 my daughterH1323 olderH1419 Merab,H4764 herH0853 I will giveH5414 as a wife,H0802 onlyH0389 beH1961 manH1121 valiantH2428 and fightH3898 battles.H4421 Of YahwehH3068 for SaulH7586 thought,H0559 notH0408 let beH1961 my handH3027 but let beH1961 the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430
18: So saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Saul,H7586 whoH4310 [am] I?H0595 and who [is]H4310 my life,H2416 familyH4940 [or] my fatherH0001 in Israel,H3478 thatH3588 I should beH1961 son-in-lawH2860 to the king?H4428
19: but it came to passH1961 at the timeH6256 when should have been givenH5414 -H0853 MerabH4764 daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 to David,H1732 that sheH1931 was givenH5414 to AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 as a wife.H0802
20: And lovedH0157 MichalH4324 daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 -H0853 David.H1732 And they toldH5046 Saul,H7586 and pleasedH3474 the thingH1697 him.H5869
21: So said,H0559 SaulH7586 I will give herH5414 that she may beH1961 a snareH4170 that may beH1961 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 therefore saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 David,H1732 a second [time].H8147 You shall be my son-in-lawH2859 today.H3117
22: And commandedH6680 SaulH7586 -H0853 his servants,H5650 CommunicateH1696 withH0413 DavidH1732 secretly,H3909 and say,H0559 Look,H2009 has delightH2654 the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 love youH0157 now thereforeH6258 become son-in-lawH2859 of the king.H4428
23: So spokeH1696 servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 in the hearingH0241 of David.H1732 -H0853 WordsH1697 theseH0428 and said,H0559 DavidH1732 Does seem it [a] light [thing]H7043 to youH5869 to be a son-in-lawH2859 of kingH4428 and seeing I [am]H0595 a man,H0376 poorH7326 and lightly esteemed?H7034
24: and toldH5046 the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 saying,H0559 in wordsH1697 theseH0428 spokeH1696 David.H1732
25: And said,H0559 SaulH7586 thusH3541 you shall sayH0559 to David,H1732 notH0369 does desireH2656 the kingH4428 any dowry,H4119 butH3588 a hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the Philistines,H6430 to take vengeanceH5358 on enemies'.H0341 Of the kingH4428 but SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make fallH5307 -H0853 DavidH1732 by the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430
26: So when toldH5046 his servantsH5650 DavidH1732 -H0853 words,H1697 theseH0428 andH3474 wordsH1697 it pleased wellH5869 DavidH1732 to become son-in-lawH2859 of the kingH4428 and notH3808 had expiredH4390 the days.H3117
27: Therefore aroseH6965 DavidH1732 and went,H1980 heH1931 and his men,H0376 and killedH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 men-H0376 and broughtH0935 DavidH1732 -H0853 their foreskins,H6190 and they gave them in full countH4390 to the king,H4428 that he might become son-in-lawH2859 of the kingH4428 and gaveH5414 SaulH7586 -H0853 MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 as a wife.H0802
28: Thus sawH7200 SaulH7586 and knewH3045 thatH3588 Yahweh [was]H3068 withH5973 David,H1732 and [that] MichalH4324 daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 loved him.H0157
29: And moreH3254 SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 David-H1732 stillH5750 so becameH1961 SaulH7586 enemyH0341 -H0853 of DavidH1732 continuallyH3605 continually.H3117
30: And went out [to war]-H3318 the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 and so it was,H1961 wheneverH1767 they went out,H3318 [that] behaved more wiselyH7919 DavidH1732 than allH3605 the servantsH5650 of Saul-H7586 so that became esteemed.H3365 His nameH8034 highly.H3966
