1 # And it came to pass, when he had made an end <03615> (8763) of speaking <01696> (8763) unto Saul <07586>, that the soul <05315> of Jonathan <03083> was knit <07194> (8738) with the soul <05315> of David <01732>, and Jonathan <03083> loved <0157> (8799) him as his own soul <05315>.
2 And Saul <07586> took <03947> (8799) him that day <03117>, and would let <05414> (8804) him go no more home <07725> (8800) to his father's <01> house <01004>.
3 Then Jonathan <03083> and David <01732> made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285>, because he loved <0160> him as his own soul <05315>.
4 And Jonathan <03083> stripped <06584> (8691) himself of the robe <04598> that was upon him, and gave <05414> (8799) it to David <01732>, and his garments <04055>, even to his sword <02719>, and to his bow <07198>, and to his girdle <02289> .

5 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>.
6 # 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 of musick <07991>.
7 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>.
8 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> ?
9 And Saul <07586> eyed <05770> (8802) David <01732> from that day <03117> and forward <01973>.
10 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>.
11 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>.
12 # 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>.
13 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> .
14 And David <01732> behaved himself wisely <07919> (8688) in all his ways <01870>; and the LORD <03068> was with him.
15 Wherefore when Saul <07586> saw <07200> (8799) that he behaved <07919> <00> himself very <03966> wisely <07919> (8688), he was afraid <01481> (8799) of <06440> him.
16 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.
17 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.
18 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>?
19 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>.
20 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.
21 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>.
22 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) .
23 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)?
24 And the servants <05650> of Saul <07586> told <05046> (8686) him, saying <0559> (8800), On this manner <01697> spake <01696> (8765) David <01732>.
25 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>.
26 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).
27 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>.
28 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.
29 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>.
30 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).
