And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
And SaulH7586 tookH3947 him that dayH3117, and would letH5414 him go no more homeH7725 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
And JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, and his garmentsH4055, even to his swordH2719, and to his bowH7198, and to his girdleH2289.
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 whithersoever SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and behaved himself wiselyH7919: and SaulH7586 setH7760 him over the menH582 of warH4421, and he was acceptedH3190 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971, and also in the sightH5869 of Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650. {behaved…: or, prospered}
And it came to pass as they cameH935, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, that the womenH802 came outH3318 of all citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, singingH7891 and dancingH4246, to meetH7125 kingH4428 SaulH7586, with tabretsH8596, with joyH8057, and with instrumentsH7991 of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments…: Heb. three stringed instruments}
And the womenH802 answeredH6030 one another as they playedH7832, and saidH559, SaulH7586 hath slainH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233.
And SaulH7586 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and the sayingH1697 displeasedH3415+H5869 him; and he saidH559, They have ascribedH5414 unto DavidH1732 ten thousandsH7233, and to me they have ascribedH5414 but thousandsH505: and what can he have more but the kingdomH4410? {displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 eyedH5770 DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And SaulH7586 castH2904 the javelinH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with it. And DavidH1732 avoided outH5437 of his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.
And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732, because the LORDH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586.
Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him. {behaved…: or, prospered}
Wherefore when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behavedH7919 himself veryH3966 wiselyH7919, he was afraidH1481 ofH6440 him.
But all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732, because he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 them.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: only be thou valiantH1121+H2428 for me, and fightH3898 the LORD'SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not mine handH3027 be upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I? and what is my lifeH2416, or my father'sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should be son in lawH2860 to the kingH4428?
But it came to pass at the timeH6256 when MerabH4764 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 should have been givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that she was givenH5414 unto AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 to wifeH802.
And MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him her, that she may be a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may be against him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 be my son in lawH2859 in the one of the twainH8147.
And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, saying, CommuneH1696 with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: now therefore be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859.
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 spakeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king'sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034?
And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spakeH1696 DavidH1732. {On…: Heb. According to these words}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleasedH3474+H1697+H5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 were not expiredH4390. {expired: Heb. fulfilled}
Wherefore DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3212, he and his menH582, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gave them in full taleH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802.
And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732, and that MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him.
And SaulH7586 was yet the moreH3254 afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732; and SaulH7586 became David'sH1732 enemyH341 continuallyH3117.
Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 went forthH3318: and it came to pass, afterH1767 they went forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself more wiselyH7919 than all the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; so that his nameH8034 was muchH3966 set byH3365. {set by: Heb. precious}

Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081, and anointedH4886 him in the midstH7130 of his brethrenH251: and the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH6743 upon DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 forwardH4605. So SamuelH8050 rose upH6965, and wentH3212 to RamahH7414.
But the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 departedH5493 from SaulH7586, and an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LORDH3068 troubledH1204 him. {troubled: or, terrified}

Then answeredH6030 oneH259 of the servantsH5288, and saidH559, Behold, I have seenH7200 a sonH1121 of JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022, that is cunningH3045 in playingH5059, and a mightyH1368 valiant manH2428, and a manH376 of warH4421, and prudentH995 in mattersH1697, and a comelyH8389 personH376, and the LORDH3068 is with him. {matters: or, speech}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Why hast thou disquietedH7264 me, to bring me upH5927?
