And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals. |

And it came to pass°
as they came,°°
when David°
was returned°°
from the slaughter°°°
of°
the Philistine,°
that the women°
came out°°
of all°°
cities°

singing°°
and dancing,°
to meet°°
king°
Saul,°
with tabrets,°
with joy,°
and with instruments°
of musick.° |

18:7
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands. |

And the women°
answered°°
[one another] as they played,°°
and said,°°
Saul°
hath slain°°
his thousands,°
and David°
his ten thousands.° |
|
18:8
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. |
|
18:8
And Saul°
was very°
wroth,°°
and the°
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?° |

on the morrow,°°
that the evil°

came°°
upon°
Saul,°

cast°°°
the javelin;°

avoided°
out°°

twice.° |

18:12 ¶
And Saul was alarmed on account of David. |
|
18:12 ¶
And Saul°
was afraid°°
of°°
David,°
because°
Yahweh°
was°
with°
him, and was departed°°
from°°
Saul.° |
|
18:13
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people. |

him from°°
him, and made°°
him his captain°

him. |

Wherefore when Saul°
saw°°

he°
behaved°°

he was afraid°°

him. |

And all Israel and Judah{gr.Juda} loved David, because he came in and went out before the people. |

loved°°°
David,°
because°

before°
them. |

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°°
Yahweh's°
battles.°
For Saul°
said,°°
Let not°
mine hand°
be°
upon him, but let the hand°
of the Philistines°
be°
upon him. |

And David°
said°°
unto°
Saul,°
Who°
[am] I?°
and what°
[is] my life,°
[or] my father's°
family°
in Israel,°
that°
I should be°
son in law°
to the king?° |

David:°
and they told°°
Saul,°
and the thing°
pleased°°°
him. |
|
18:21
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling-block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul. |
|
18:21
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°°°
in [the one of] the twain.° |

the king°
hath delight°°
in thee, and all°
his servants°
love°°
thee: now°
therefore be the king's°
son in law.°°° |
|
18:23
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honourable? |
|
18:23
And Saul's°
servants°
spake°°°
those°
words°
in the ears°
of David.°
And David°
said,°°
Seemeth°
it to you [a] light°°
[thing] to be a king's°
son in law,°°°
seeing that I°
[am] a poor°°
man,°
and lightly esteemed?°° |
|
18:24
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke. |
|
18:24
And the servants°
of Saul°
told°°
him, saying,°°
On this°
manner°
spake°°
David.° |
|
18:25
And Saul said, Thus shall ye speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines. |
|
18:25
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.°°
But Saul°
thought°°
to make°
David°
fall°°
by the hand°
of the Philistines.° |

18:26
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king. |
|
18:26
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.°° |
|
18:27
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and smote among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Michal{gr.Melchol} his daughter to wife. |
|

Wherefore 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.° |
