et factum est cum conplesset loqui ad Saul anima Ionathanconligata est animae David et dilexit eum Ionathan quasi animamsuam

18:2
tulitque eum Saul in die illa et non concessit ei utreverteretur in domum patris sui

18:3
inierunt autem Ionathan et David foedus diligebat enim eumquasi animam suam

18:4
nam expoliavit se Ionathan tunicam qua erat vestitus etdedit eam David et reliqua vestimenta sua usque ad gladium etarcum suum et usque ad balteum

18:5
egrediebatur quoque David ad omnia quaecumque misisset eumSaul et prudenter se agebat posuitque eum Saul super virosbelli et acceptus erat in oculis universi populi maximeque inconspectu famulorum Saul

18:6
porro cum reverteretur percusso Philistheo David egressaesunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israhel cantantes chorosqueducentes in occursum Saul regis in tympanis laetitiae et insistris

18:7
et praecinebant mulieres ludentes atque dicentes percussitSaul mille et David decem milia

18:8
iratus est autem Saul nimis et displicuit in oculis eiusiste sermo dixitque dederunt David decem milia et mihi dederuntmille quid ei superest nisi solum regnum

18:9
non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David ex die illa etdeinceps

18:10
post diem autem alteram invasit spiritus Dei malus Saul etprophetabat in medio domus suae David autem psallebat manu suasicut per singulos dies tenebatque Saul lanceam

18:11
et misit eam putans quod configere posset David cumpariete et declinavit David a facie eius secundo

18:12
et timuit Saul David eo quod esset Dominus cum eo et a serecessisset

18:13
amovit ergo eum Saul a se et fecit eum tribunum supermille viros et egrediebatur et intrabat in conspectu populi

18:14
in omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat etDominus erat cum eo

18:15

18:16
omnis autem Israhel et Iuda diligebat David ipse enimegrediebatur et ingrediebatur ante eos

18:17
dixit autem Saul ad David ecce filia mea maior Merob ipsamdabo tibi uxorem tantummodo esto vir fortis et proeliare bellaDomini Saul autem reputabat dicens non sit manus mea in eo sedsit super illum manus Philisthinorum

18:18
ait autem David ad Saul quis ego sum aut quae est vita meaaut cognatio patris mei in Israhel ut fiam gener regis

18:19

018:001
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.

018:002
And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

018:003
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

018:004
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

018:005
And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

018:006
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 of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.

018:007
And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

018:008
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?

018:009
And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

018:010
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

018:011
And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

018:012
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.

018:013
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

018:014
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.

018:015
Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.

018:016
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

018:017
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.

018:018
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?

018:019
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.

018:020
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

018:021
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.

018:022
And Saul commanded his servants, 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.

018:023
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?

018:024
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.

018:025
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.

018:026
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.

018:027
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.

018:028
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.

018:029
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.

018:030
Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
