I Samuel 18 (kjv)

And it came to pass, when he had made an end^H3615 of speaking^H1696 unto Saul^H7586, that the soul^H5315 of Jonathan^H3083 was knit^H7194 with the soul^H5315 of David^H1732, and Jonathan^H3083 loved^H157 him as his own soul^H5315.²And Saul^H7586 took^H3947 him that day^H3117, and would let^H5414 him go no more home^H7725 to his father's^H1 house^H1004.³Then Jonathan^H3083 and David^H1732 made^H3772 a covenant^H1285, because he loved^H160 him as his own soul^H5315.⁴And Jonathan^H3083 stripped^H6584 himself of the robe^H4598 that was upon him, and gave^H5414 it to David^H1732, and his garments^H4055, even to his sword^H2719, and to his bow^H7198, and to his girdle^H2289.

⁵And David^H1732 went out^H3318 whithersoever Saul^H7586 sent^H7971 him, and behaved himself wisely^H7919: and Saul^H7586 set^H7760 him over the men^H582 of war^H4421, and he was accepted^H3190 in the sight^H5869 of all the people^H5971, and also in the sight^H5869 of Saul's^H7586 servants^H5650.⁶And it came to pass as they came^H935, when David^H1732 was returned^H7725 from the slaughter^H5221 of the Philistine^H6430, that the women^H802 came out^H3318 of all cities^H5892 of Israel^H3478, singing^H7891 and dancing^H4246, to meet^H7125 king^H4428 Saul^H7586, with tabrets^H8596, with joy^H8057, and with instruments of musick^H7991.⁷And the women^H802 answered^H6030 one another as they played^H7832, and said^H559, Saul^H7586 hath slain^H5221 his thousands^H505, and David^H1732 his ten thousands^H7233.⁸And Saul^H7586 was very^H3966 wroth^H2734, and the saying^H1697 displeased^{H3415 H5869} him; and he said^H559, They have ascribed^H5414 unto David^H1732 ten thousands^H7233, and to me they have ascribed^H5414 but thousands^H505: and what can he have more but the kingdom^H4410?⁹And Saul^H7586 eyed^H5770 David^H1732 from that day^H3117 and forward^H1973.

¹⁰And it came to pass on the morrow^H4283, that the evil^H7451 spirit^H7307 from God^H430 came^H6743 upon Saul^H7586, and he prophesied^H5012 in the midst^H8432 of the house^H1004: and David^H1732 played^H5059 with his hand^H3027, as at other times^H3117: and there was a javelin^H2595 in Saul's^H7586 hand^H3027.¹¹And Saul^H7586 cast^H2904 the javelin^H2595; for he said^H559, I will smite^H5221 David^H1732 even to the wall^H7023 with it. And David^H1732 avoided out^H5437 of his presence^H6440 twice^H6471.

¹²And Saul^H7586 was afraid^H3372 of^H6440 David^H1732, because the LORD^H3068 was with him, and was departed^H5493 from Saul^H7586.¹³Therefore Saul^H7586 removed^H5493 him from him, and made^H7760 him his captain^H8269 over a thousand^H505; and he went out^H3318 and came in^H935 before^H6440 the people^H5971.¹⁴And David^H1732 behaved himself wisely^H7919 in all his ways^H1870; and the LORD^H3068 was with him.¹⁵Wherefore when Saul^H7586 saw^H7200 that he behaved^H7919 himself very^H3966 wisely^H7919, he was afraid^H1481 of^H6440 him.¹⁶But all Israel^H3478 and Judah^H3063 loved^H157 David^H1732, because he went out^H3318 and came in^H935 before^H6440 them.

¹⁷And Saul^H7586 said^H559 to David^H1732, Behold my elder^H1419 daughter^H1323 Merab^H4764, her will I give^H5414 thee to wife^H802: only be thou valiant^{H1121 H2428} for me, and fight^H3898 the LORD'S^H3068 battles^H4421. For Saul^H7586 said^H559, Let not mine hand^H3027 be upon him, but let the hand^H3027 of the Philistines^H6430 be upon him.¹⁸And David^H1732 said^H559 unto Saul^H7586, Who am I? and what is my life^H2416, or my father's^H1 family^H4940 in Israel^H3478, that I should be son in law^H2860 to the king^H4428?¹⁹But it came to pass at the time^H6256 when Merab^H4764 Saul's^H7586 daughter^H1323 should have been given^H5414 to David^H1732, that she was given^H5414 unto Adriel^H5741 the Meholathite^H4259 to wife^H802.²⁰And Michal^H4324 Saul's^H7586 daughter^H1323 loved^H157 David^H1732: and they told^H5046 Saul^H7586, and the thing^H1697 pleased^{H3474 H5869} him.²¹And Saul^H7586 said^H559, I will give^H5414 him her, that she may be a snare^H4170 to him, and that the hand^H3027 of the Philistines^H6430 may be against him. Wherefore Saul^H7586 said^H559 to David^H1732, Thou shalt this day^H3117 be my son in law^H2859 in the one of the twain^H8147.²²And Saul^H7586 commanded^H6680 his servants^H5650, saying, Commune^H1696 with David^H1732 secretly^H3909, and say^H559, Behold, the king^H4428 hath delight^H2654 in thee, and all his servants^H5650 love^H157 thee: now therefore be the king's^H4428 son in law^H2859.

²³And Saul's^H7586 servants^H5650 spake^H1696 those words^H1697 in the ears^H241 of David^H1732. And David^H1732 said^H559, Seemeth^H5869 it to you a light^H7043 thing to be a king's^H4428 son in law^H2859, seeing that I am a poor^H7326 man^H376, and lightly esteemed^H7034?²⁴And the servants^H5650 of Saul^H7586 told^H5046 him, saying^H559, On this manner^H1697 spake^H1696 David^H1732.

²⁵And Saul^H7586 said^H559, Thus shall ye say^H559 to David^H1732, The king^H4428 desireth^H2656 not any dowry^H4119, but an hundred^H3967 foreskins^H6190 of the Philistines^H6430, to be avenged^H5358 of the king's^H4428 enemies^H341. But Saul^H7586 thought^H2803 to make David^H1732 fall^H5307 by the hand^H3027 of the Philistines^H6430.²⁶And when his servants^H5650 told^H5046 David^H1732 these words^H1697, it pleased^{H3474 H1697 H5869} David^H1732 well to be the king's^H4428 son in law^H2859: and the days^H3117 were not expired^H4390.²⁷Wherefore David^H1732 arose^H6965 and went^H3212, he and his men^H582, and slew^H5221 of the Philistines^H6430 two hundred^H3967 men^H376; and David^H1732 brought^H935 their foreskins^H6190, and they gave them in full tale^H4390 to the king^H4428, that he might be the king's^H4428 son in law^H2859. And Saul^H7586 gave^H5414 him Michal^H4324 his daughter^H1323 to wife^H802.

²⁸And Saul^H7586 saw^H7200 and knew^H3045 that the LORD^H3068 was with David^H1732, and that Michal^H4324 Saul's^H7586 daughter^H1323 loved^H157 him.²⁹And Saul^H7586 was yet the more^H3254 afraid^H3372 of^H6440 David^H1732; and Saul^H7586 became David's^H1732 enemy^H341 continually^H3117.³⁰Then the princes^H8269 of the Philistines^H6430 went forth^H3318: and it came to pass, after^H1767 they went forth^H3318, that David^H1732 behaved himself more wisely^H7919 than all the servants^H5650 of Saul^H7586; so that his name^H8034 was much^H3966 set by^H3365.
