1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Samuel 18:1WEB
2 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more. 1 Samuel 18:2WEB
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 1 Samuel 18:3WEB
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash. 1 Samuel 18:4WEB
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. 1 Samuel 18:5WEB
6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music. 1 Samuel 18:6WEB
7 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” 1 Samuel 18:7WEB
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?” 1 Samuel 18:8WEB
9 Saul watched David from that day and forward. 1 Samuel 18:9WEB
10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand; 1 Samuel 18:10WEB
11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice. 1 Samuel 18:11WEB
12 Saul was afraid of David, because YHWH was with him, and had departed from Saul. 1 Samuel 18:12WEB
13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 1 Samuel 18:13WEB
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and YHWH was with him. 1 Samuel 18:14WEB
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him. 1 Samuel 18:15WEB
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them. 1 Samuel 18:16WEB
17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight YHWH’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.” 1 Samuel 18:17WEB
18 David said to 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?” 1 Samuel 18:18WEB
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. 1 Samuel 18:19WEB
20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 1 Samuel 18:20WEB
21 Saul said, 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. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.” 1 Samuel 18:21WEB
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’” 1 Samuel 18:22WEB
23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?” 1 Samuel 18:23WEB
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.” 1 Samuel 18:24WEB
25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 1 Samuel 18:25WEB
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline, 1 Samuel 18:26WEB
27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife. 1 Samuel 18:27WEB
28 Saul saw and knew that YHWH was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him. 1 Samuel 18:28WEB
29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually. 1 Samuel 18:29WEB
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed. 1 Samuel 18:30WEB
