1 Samuel 18 (RV) Revised Version

1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father�s house.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, {cf15i and} behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul�s servants.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
11 and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15 And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me. and fight the LORD�S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, {cf15i or} my father�s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul�s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
20 And Michal Saul�s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law a second time.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, {cf15i saying}, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king�s son in law.
23 And Saul�s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king�s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king�s enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king�s son in law. And the days were not expired;
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king�s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul�s daughter loved him.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David�s enemy continually.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
1 And it came to pass, H1961 when he had made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 unto H413 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
2 And Saul H7586 took H3947 him that H1931 day, H3117 and would let H5414 him go no more home H7725 H3808 to his father's H1 house. H1004
3 Then Jonathan H3083 and David H1732 made H3772 a covenant, H1285 because he loved H157 him as his own soul. H5315
4 And Jonathan H3083 stripped himself H6584 of H853 the robe H4598 that H834 was upon H5921 him , and gave H5414 it to David, H1732 and his garments, H4055 even to H5740 his sword, H2719 and to H5704 his bow, H7198 and to H5704 his girdle. H2290
5 And David H1732 went out H3318 whithersoever H834 H3605 Saul H7586 sent H7971 him, and behaved himself wisely: H7919 and Saul H7586 set H7760 him over H5921 the men H376 of war, H4421 and he was accepted H3190 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 the people, H5971 and also H1571 in the sight H5869 of Saul's H7586 servants. H5650
6 And it came to pass H1961 as they came, H935 when David H1732 was returned H7725 from the slaughter H4480 H5221 of H853 the Philistine, H6430 that the women H802 came out H3318 of all H4480 H3605 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 music. H7991
7 And 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
8 And Saul H7586 was very H3966 wroth, H2734 and the H2088 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 H5750 but H389 the kingdom H4410 ?
9 And Saul H7586 eyed David H1732 from that day H4480 H3117 H1931 and forward. H1973
10 And it came to pass H1961 on the morrow H4480 H4283 , that the evil H7451 spirit H7307 from God H430 came H6743 upon H413 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 H3117 : and there was a javelin H2595 in Saul's H7586 hand. H3027
11 And Saul H7586 cast H2904 H853 the javelin; H2595 for he said, H559 I will smite H5221 David H1732 even to the wall H7023 with it . And David H1732 avoided H5437 out of his presence H4480 H6440 twice. H6471
12 And Saul H7586 was afraid H3372 of H4480 H6440 David, H1732 because H3588 the LORD H3068 was H1961 with H5973 him , and was departed H5493 from H4480 H5973 Saul. H7586
13 Therefore Saul H7586 removed H5493 him from H4480 H5973 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
14 And David H1732 behaved himself wisely H7919 in all H3605 his ways; H1870 and the LORD H3068 was with H5973 him.
15 Wherefore when Saul H7586 saw H7200 that H834 he H1931 behaved himself very wisely H7919 H3966 , he was afraid H1481 of H4480 H6440 him.
16 But all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 loved H157 H853 David, H1732 because H3588 he H1931 went out H3318 and came in H935 before H6440 them.
17 And Saul H7586 said H559 to H413 David, H1732 Behold H2009 my elder H1419 daughter H1323 Merab, H4764 her will I give H5414 thee to wife: H802 only H389 be H1961 thou valiant H1121 H2428 for me , and fight H3898 the LORD's H3068 battles. H4421 For Saul H7586 said, H559 Let not H408 mine hand H3027 be H1961 upon him , but let the hand H3027 of the Philistines H6430 be H1961 upon him.
18 And David H1732 said H559 unto H413 Saul, H7586 Who H4310 am I H595 ? and what H4310 is my life, H2416 or my father's H1 family H4940 in Israel, H3478 that H3588 I should be H1961 son- H2860 in-law to the king H4428 ?
19 But it came to pass H1961 at the time H6256 when H853 Merab H4764 Saul's H7586 daughter H1323 should have been given H5414 to David, H1732 that she H1931 was given H5414 unto Adriel H5741 the Meholathite H4259 to wife. H802
20 And Michal H4324 Saul's H7586 daughter H1323 loved H157 H853 David: H1732 and they told H5046 Saul, H7586 and the thing H1697 pleased H3474 H5869 him.
21 And Saul H7586 said, H559 I will give H5414 him her , that she may be H1961 a snare H4170 to him , and that the hand H3027 of the Philistines H6430 may be H1961 against him . Wherefore Saul H7586 said H559 to H413 David, H1732 Thou shalt this day H3117 be my son- H2860 in-law in the one of the twain. H8147
22 And Saul H7586 commanded H6680 H853 his servants, H5650 saying , Commune H1696 with H413 David H1732 secretly, H3909 and say, H559 Behold, H2009 the king H4428 hath delight H2654 in thee , and all H3605 his servants H5650 love H157 thee: now H6258 therefore be the king's H4428 son- H2860 in-law.
23 And Saul's H7586 servants H5650 spoke H1696 H853 those H428 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- H2860 in-law , seeing that I H595 am a poor H7326 man, H376 and lightly esteemed H7034 ?
24 And the servants H5650 of Saul H7586 told H5046 him, saying, H559 On this H428 manner H1697 spoke H1696 David. H1732
25 And Saul H7586 said, H559 Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 to David, H1732 The king H4428 desireth H2656 not H369 any dowry, H4119 but H3588 a 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 H853 David H1732 fall H5307 by the hand H3027 of the Philistines. H6430
26 And when his servants H5650 told H5046 David these H428 words, H1697 it pleased H3474 H1697 H5869 David H1732 well to be the king's H4428 son- H2860 in-law : and the days H3117 were not H3808 expired. H4390
27 Wherefore David H1732 arose H6965 and went, H1980 he H1931 and his men, H376 and slew H5221 of the Philistines H6430 two hundred H3967 men; H376 and David H1732 brought H935 H853 their foreskins, H6190 and they gave them in full tale H4390 to the king, H4428 that he might be the king's H4428 son- H2860 in-law . And Saul H7586 gave H5414 him H853 Michal H4324 his daughter H1323 to wife. H802
28 And Saul H7586 saw H7200 and knew H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 was with H5973 David, H1732 and that Michal H4324 Saul's H7586 daughter H1323 loved H157 him.
29 And Saul H7586 was yet H5750 the more H3254 afraid H3372 of H4480 H6440 David; H1732 and Saul H7586 became H1961 H853 David's H1732 enemy H341 continually H3605 H3117 .
30 Then the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 went forth: H3318 and it came to pass, H1961 after H4480 H167 they went forth, H3318 that David H1732 behaved himself more wisely H7919 than all H4480 H3605 the servants H5650 of Saul; H7586 so that his name H8034 was much H3966 set by. H3365
