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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ?
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ?
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ?
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
