1 Samuel 18:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 WHEN DAVID had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own life.
2 Saul took David that day and would not let him return to his father's house.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own life.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, even his sword, his bow, and his girdle.
5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he prospered and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. And it was satisfactory both to the people and to Saul's servants.
6 As they were coming home, when David returned from killing the Philistine, the women came out of all the Israelite towns, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with timbrels, songs of joy, and instruments of music.
7 And the women responded as they laughed and frolicked, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 And Saul was very angry, for the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed only thousands. What more can he have but the kingdom?
9 And Saul jealously eyed David from that day forward.
10 The next day an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved madly in his house, while David played the lyre with his hand, as at other times; and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
11 And Saul cast the javelin, for he thought, I will pin David to the wall. And David evaded him twice.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul.
13 So Saul removed David from him and made him his commander over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 David acted wisely in all his ways and succeeded, and the Lord was with him.
15 When Saul saw how capable and successful David was, he stood in awe of him.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
17 Saul said to David, My elder daughter Merab I will give you as wife; only serve me courageously and fight the Lord's battles. For Saul thought, Let not my hand, but the Philistines' hand, be upon him.
18 David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and it pleased him.
21 Saul thought, I will give her to him that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David a second time, You shall now be my son-in-law.
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately and say, The king delights in you, and all his servants love you; now then, become his son-in-law.
23 Saul's servants told those words to David. David said, Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, seeing I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
24 And the servants of Saul told him what David said.
25 Saul said, Say this to David, The king wants no dowry but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the Philistines' hands.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased him well to become the king's son-in-law. Before the days expired,
27 David went, he and his men, and slew two hundred Philistine men, and brought their foreskins and gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
28 When Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David and that Michal his daughter loved him,
29 Saul was still more afraid of David; and Saul became David's constant enemy.
30 Then the Philistine princes came out to battle, and when they did so, David had more success and behaved himself more wisely than all Saul's servants, so that his name was very dear and highly esteemed.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when he had made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 , that the soul H5315 W-GFS of Jonathan H3083 was knit H7194 with the soul H5315 W-GFS of David H1732 MMS , and Jonathan H3083 loved H157 him as his own soul H5315 W-GFS .
2 And Saul H7586 took H3947 him that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , and would let H5414 him go no more home H7725 to his father H1 \'s house H1004 CMS .
3 Then Jonathan H3083 and David H1732 made H3772 a covenant H1285 NFS , because he loved H157 him as his own soul H5315 .
4 And Jonathan H3083 stripped himself H6584 of the robe H4598 that H834 RPRO was upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and gave H5414 it to David H1732 L-NAME , and his garments H4055 , even to H5740 his sword H2719 , and to H5704 W-PREP his bow H7198 , and to H5704 W-PREP his girdle H2290 .
5 And David H1732 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS whithersoever H834 RPRO Saul H7586 sent H7971 him , and behaved himself wisely H7919 : and Saul H7586 set H7760 him over H5921 PREP the men H376 of war H4421 , and he was accepted H3190 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of all H3605 the people H5971 , and also H1571 W-CONJ in the sight H5869 B-CMP of Saul H7586 \'s servants H5650 .
6 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS as they came H935 , when David H1732 MMS was returned H7725 from the slaughter H5221 of the Philistine H6430 , that the women H802 D-NFP came out H3318 of all H3605 M-CMS cities H5892 of Israel H3478 , singing H7891 and dancing H4246 , to meet H7125 king H4428 D-NMS Saul H7586 , with tabrets H8596 , with joy H8057 B-NFS , and with instruments of music H7991 .
7 And the women H802 D-NFP 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 .
8 And Saul H7586 was very H3966 ADV wroth H2734 W-VQY3MS , and the H2088 D-PMS saying H1697 D-NMS displeased H5869 B-CMD-3MS him ; and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , They have ascribed H5414 unto David H1732 L-NAME ten thousands H7233 , and to me they have ascribed H5414 but thousands H505 : and what can he have more H5750 W-ADV but H389 ADV the kingdom H4410 ?
9 And Saul H7586 eyed H5770 David H1732 MMS from that day H3117 and forward H1973 .
10 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS on the morrow H4283 , that the evil H7451 AFS spirit H7307 NFS from God H430 EDP came H6743 upon H413 PREP Saul H7586 , and he prophesied H5012 in the midst H8432 of the house H1004 D-NMS : and David H1732 played H5059 with his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS , as at other times H3117 B-NMS : and there was a javelin H2595 in Saul H7586 \'s hand H3027 B-CFS .
11 And Saul H7586 cast H2904 the javelin H2595 ; for he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will smite H5221 David H1732 even to the wall H7023 with it . And David H1732 MMS avoided H5437 out of his presence H6440 M-CMP-3MS twice H6471 .
12 And Saul H7586 was afraid H3372 of ML-CMP David H1732 , because H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS with H5973 PREP-3MS him , and was departed H5493 from Saul H7586 .
13 Therefore Saul H7586 removed H5493 him from him , and made H7760 him his captain H8269 over a thousand H505 MMS ; and he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS and came in H935 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP the people H5971 D-NMS .
14 And David H1732 behaved himself wisely H7919 in all H3605 L-CMS his ways H1870 ; and the LORD H3068 W-EDS was with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
15 Wherefore when Saul H7586 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H834 RPRO he H1931 PPRO-3MS behaved himself very wisely H7919 , he was afraid H1481 of him .
16 But all H3605 W-CMS Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 loved H157 David H1732 MMS , because H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS went out H3318 and came in H935 before H6440 them .
17 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Behold H2009 IJEC my elder H1419 D-AFS daughter H1323 Merab H4764 , her will I give H5414 thee to wife H802 L-NFS : only H389 ADV be H1961 thou valiant H1121 for me , and fight H3898 the LORD H3068 EDS \'s battles H4421 . For Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let not H408 NPAR mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS be H1961 VQI3FS upon him , but let the hand H3027 CFS of the Philistines H6430 be H1961 W-VQI3FS upon him .
18 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 , Who H4310 W-IPRO am I H595 PPRO-1MS ? and what H4310 W-IPRO is my life H2416 CMS-1MS , or my father H1 CMS-1MS \'s family H4940 in Israel H3478 , that H3588 CONJ I should be H1961 VQY1MS son H2860 - in - law to the king H4428 ?
19 But it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at the time H6256 when Merab H4764 Saul H7586 \'s daughter H1323 CFS should have been given H5414 VQFC to David H1732 L-NAME , that she H1931 was given H5414 VNQ3FS unto Adriel H5741 the Meholathite H4259 to wife H802 .
20 And Michal H4324 Saul H7586 \'s daughter H1323 CFS loved H157 David H1732 MMS : and they told H5046 Saul H7586 , and the thing H1697 D-NMS pleased H3474 him .
21 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will give H5414 VQY1MS-3FS him her , that she may be H1961 W-VQI3FS a snare H4170 to him , and that the hand H3027 CFS of the Philistines H6430 TMS may be H1961 W-VQI3FS against him . Wherefore Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Thou shalt this day H3117 D-NMS be my son H2860 - in - law in the one of the twain H8147 .
22 And Saul H7586 commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS his servants H5650 , saying , Commune H1696 with H413 PREP David H1732 MMS secretly H3909 , and say H559 L-VQFC , Behold H2009 IJEC , the king H4428 D-NMS hath delight H2654 in thee , and all H3605 W-CMS his servants H5650 love H157 thee : now H6258 W-ADV therefore be the king H4428 \'s son H2860 - in - law .
23 And Saul H7586 \'s servants H5650 spoke H1696 those H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP in the ears H241 of David H1732 . And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Seemeth H5869 it to you a light H7043 thing to be a king H4428 \'s son H2860 - in - law , seeing that I H595 W-PPRO-1MS am a poor H7326 man H376 NMS , and lightly esteemed H7034 ?
24 And the servants H5650 of Saul H7586 told H5046 him , saying H559 L-VQFC , On this H428 D-DPRO-3MP manner H1697 spoke H1696 VPQ3MS David H1732 .
25 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 W-VQY3MS to David H1732 L-NAME , The king H4428 desireth H2656 not H369 ADV any dowry H4119 , but H3588 CONJ a hundred H3967 foreskins H6190 of the Philistines H6430 TMS , to be avenged H5358 of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s enemies H341 . But Saul H7586 thought H2803 to make David H1732 L-NAME fall H5307 by the hand H3027 B-CFS of the Philistines H6430 .
26 And when his servants H5650 told H5046 David H1732 L-NAME these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP , it pleased H3474 David H1732 L-NAME well to be the king H4428 \'s son H2860 - in - law : and the days H3117 D-NMP were not H3808 W-NPAR expired H4390 VQQ3MP .
27 Wherefore David H1732 MMS arose H6965 W-VQY3MS and went H1980 W-VQY3MS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and his men H376 NMS , and slew H5221 W-VHY3MS of the Philistines H6430 two hundred H3967 MFD men H376 NMS ; and David H1732 brought H935 W-VHY3MS their foreskins H6190 , and they gave them in full tale H4390 to the king H4428 , that he might be the king H4428 \'s son H2860 - in - law . And Saul H7586 gave H5414 W-VQY3MS him Michal H4324 his daughter H1323 to wife H802 .
28 And Saul H7586 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS and knew H3045 W-VQY3MS that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS was with H5973 PREP David H1732 MMS , and that Michal H4324 Saul H7586 \'s daughter H1323 CFS loved H157 him .
29 And Saul H7586 was yet H5750 ADV the more H3254 afraid H3372 of M-CMP David H1732 ; and Saul H7586 became H1961 W-VQY3MS David H1732 MMS \'s enemy H341 continually H3605 NMS .
30 Then the princes H8269 CMP of the Philistines H6430 went forth H3318 W-VQY3MP : and it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , after H167 they went forth H3318 , that David H1732 MMS behaved himself more wisely H7919 than all H3605 M-CMS the servants H5650 of Saul H7586 ; so that his name H8034 CMS-3MS was much H3966 ADV set by H3365 .
