And it came to pass, when he had made an end 3615-15 of speaking 1696-15 unto Saul, 7586 that the soul 5315 of Jonathan 3083 was knit 7194-8 with the soul 5315 of David, 1732 and Jonathan 3083 loved 157-4 him as his own soul. 5315 |
| 2 |
And Saul 7586 took 3947-4 him that day, 3117 and would let 5414-1 him go no more home 7725-2 to his father's 1 house. 1004 |
| 3 |
Then Jonathan 3083 and David 1732 made 3772-4 a covenant, 1285 because he loved 160 him as his own soul. 5315 |
| 4 |
And Jonathan 3083 stripped 6584-101 himself of the robe 4598 that [was] upon him, and gave 5414-4 it to David, 1732 and his garments, 4055 even to his sword, 2719 and to his bow, 7198 and to his girdle. 2289 |
| 5 |
And David 1732 went out 3318-4 whithersoever Saul 7586 sent 7971-4 him, [and] behaved himself wisely: 7919-55 and Saul 7586 set 7760-4 him over the men 582 of war, 4421 and he was accepted 3190-4 in the sight 5869 of all the people, 5971 and also in the sight 5869 of Saul's 7586 servants. 5650 |
| 6 |
And it came to pass as they came, 935-2 when David 1732 was returned 7725-2 from the slaughter 5221-53 of the Philistine, 6430 that the women 802 came out 3318-4 of all cities 5892 of Israel, 3478 singing 7891-2 and dancing, 4246 to meet 7125-2 king 4428 Saul, 7586 with tabrets, 8596 with joy, 8057 and with instruments 7991 of musick. |
| 7 |
And the women 802 answered 6030-4 [one another] as they played, 7832-18 and said, 559-4 Saul 7586 hath slain 5221-52 his thousands, 505 and David 1732 his ten thousands. 7233 |
| 8 |
And Saul 7586 was very 3966 wroth, 2734-4 and the saying 1697 displeased 3415-4 5869 him; and he said, 559-4 They have ascribed 5414-1 unto David 1732 ten thousands, 7233 and to me they have ascribed 5414-1 [but] thousands: 505 and [what] can he have more but the kingdom? 4410 |
| 9 |
And Saul 7586 eyed 5770-6 David 1732 from that day 3117 and forward. 1973 |
| 10 |
And it came to pass on the morrow, 4283 that the evil 7451 spirit 7307 from God 430 came 6743-4 upon Saul, 7586 and he prophesied 5012-101 in the midst 8432 of the house: 1004 and David 1732 played 5059-18 with his hand, 3027 as at other times: 3117 3117 and [there was] a javelin 2595 in Saul's 7586 hand. 3027 |
| 11 |
And Saul 7586 cast 2904-55 the javelin; 2595 for he said, 559-4 I will smite 5221-55 David 1732 even to the wall 7023 [with it]. And David 1732 avoided 5437-11 out of his presence 6440 twice. 6471 |
| 12 |
And Saul 7586 was afraid 3372-4 of 6440 David, 1732 because the LORD 3068 was with him, and was departed 5493-1 from Saul. 7586 |
| 13 |
Therefore Saul 7586 removed 5493-55 him from him, and made 7760-4 him his captain 8269 over a thousand; 505 and he went out 3318-4 and came in 935-4 before 6440 the people. 5971 |
| 14 |
And David 1732 behaved himself wisely 7919-56 in all his ways; 1870 and the LORD 3068 [was] with him. |
| 15 |
Wherefore when Saul 7586 saw 7200-4 that he behaved himself very 3966 wisely, 7919-56 he was afraid 1481-4 of 6440 him. |
| 16 |
But all Israel 3478 and Judah 3063 loved 157-6 David, 1732 because he went out 3318-6 and came in 935-6 before 6440 them. |
| 17 |
And Saul 7586 said 559-4 to David, 1732 Behold my elder 1419 daughter 1323 Merab, 4764 her will I give 5414-4 thee to wife: 802 only be thou valiant 1121 2428 for me, and fight 3898-10 the LORD'S 3068 battles. 4421 For Saul 7586 said, 559-1 Let not mine hand 3027 be upon him, but let the hand 3027 of the Philistines 6430 be upon him. |
| 18 |
And David 1732 said 559-4 unto Saul, 7586 Who [am] I? and what [is] my life, 2416 [or] my father's 1 family 4940 in Israel, 3478 that I should be son in law 2860 to the king? 4428 |
| 19 |
But it came to pass at the time 6256 when Merab 4764 Saul's 7586 daughter 1323 should have been given 5414-2 to David, 1732 that she was given 5414-8 unto Adriel 5741 the Meholathite 4259 to wife. 802 |
| 20 |
And Michal 4324 Saul's 7586 daughter 1323 loved 157-4 David: 1732 and they told 5046-55 Saul, 7586 and the thing 1697 pleased 3474-4 5869 him. |
| 21 |
And Saul 7586 said, 559-4 I will give 5414-4 him her, that she may be a snare 4170 to him, and that the hand 3027 of the Philistines 6430 may be against him. Wherefore Saul 7586 said 559-4 to David, 1732 Thou shalt this day 3117 be my son in law 2859-101 in [the one of] the twain. 8147 |
| 22 |
And Saul 7586 commanded 6680-17 his servants, 5650 [saying], Commune 1696-16 with David 1732 secretly, 3909 and say, 559-2 Behold, the king 4428 hath delight 2654-1 in thee, and all his servants 5650 love 157-1 thee: now therefore be the king's 4428 son in law. 2859-100 |
| 23 |
And Saul's 7586 servants 5650 spake 1696-17 those words 1697 in the ears 241 of David. 1732 And David 1732 said, 559-4 Seemeth 5869 it to you [a] light 7043-8 [thing] to be a king's 4428 son in law, 2859-99 seeing that I [am] a poor 7326-6 man, 376 and lightly esteemed? 7034-12 |
| 24 |
And the servants 5650 of Saul 7586 told 5046-55 him, saying, 559-2 On this manner 1697 spake 1696-14 David. 1732 |
| 25 |
And Saul 7586 said, 559-4 Thus shall ye say 559-4 to David, 1732 The king 4428 desireth 2656 not any dowry, 4119 but an hundred 3967 foreskins 6190 of the Philistines, 6430 to be avenged 5358-9 of the king's 4428 enemies. 341-6 But Saul 7586 thought 2803-1 to make David 1732 fall 5307-53 by the hand 3027 of the Philistines. 6430 |
| 26 |
And when his servants 5650 told 5046-55 David 1732 these words, 1697 it 1697 pleased 3474-4 5869 David 1732 well to be the king's 4428 son in law: 2859-99 and the days 3117 were not expired. 4390-1 |
| 27 |
Wherefore David 1732 arose 6965-4 and went, 3212-4 he and his men, 582 and slew 5221-55 of the Philistines 6430 two hundred 3967 men; 376 and David 1732 brought 935-55 their foreskins, 6190 and they gave them in full 4390-17 tale to the king, 4428 that he might be the king's 4428 son in law. 2859-99 And Saul 7586 gave 5414-4 him Michal 4324 his daughter 1323 to wife. 802 |
| 28 |
And Saul 7586 saw 7200-4 and knew 3045-4 that the LORD 3068 [was] with David, 1732 and [that] Michal 4324 Saul's 7586 daughter 1323 loved 157-1 him. |
| 29 |
And Saul 7586 was yet the more 3254-55 afraid 3372-2 of 6440 David; 1732 and Saul 7586 became David's 1732 enemy 341-6 continually. 3605 3117 |
| 30 |
Then the princes 8269 of the Philistines 6430 went forth: 3318-4 and it came to pass, after 1767 they went forth, 3318-2 [that] David 1732 behaved himself more wisely 7919-1 than all the servants 5650 of Saul; 7586 so that his name 8034 was much 3966 set by. 3365-4 |
