1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when he had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of speaking¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ that the soul⁵³¹⁵ of Jonathan³⁰⁸³ was knit⁷¹⁹⁴ with the soul⁵³¹⁵ of David,¹⁷³² and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ loved¹⁵⁷ him as his own soul.⁵³¹⁵

2  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ him that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ and would let⁵⁴¹⁴ him go no more home^{7725 3808} to his father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

3  Then Jonathan³⁰⁸³ and David¹⁷³² made³⁷⁷² a covenant,¹²⁸⁵ because he loved¹⁵⁷ him as his own soul.⁵³¹⁵

4  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ stripped himself⁶⁵⁸⁴ of ⁸⁵³ the robe⁴⁵⁹⁸ that⁸³⁴ was upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it to David,¹⁷³² and his garments,⁴⁰⁵⁵ even to⁵⁷⁴⁰ his sword,²⁷¹⁹ and to⁵⁷⁰⁴ his bow,⁷¹⁹⁸ and to⁵⁷⁰⁴ his girdle.²²⁹⁰

5  And David¹⁷³² went out³³¹⁸ whithersoever^{834 3605} Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him, and behaved himself wisely:⁷⁹¹⁹ and Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ set⁷⁷⁶⁰ him over⁵⁹²¹ the men³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ and he was accepted³¹⁹⁰ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and also¹⁵⁷¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

6  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ as they came,⁹³⁵ when David¹⁷³² was returned⁷⁷²⁵ from the slaughter^{4480 5221} of ⁸⁵³ the Philistine,⁶⁴³⁰ that the women⁸⁰² came out³³¹⁸ of all^{4480 3605} cities⁵⁸⁹² of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ singing⁷⁸⁹¹ and dancing,⁴²⁴⁶ to meet⁷¹²⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ with tabrets,⁸⁵⁹⁶ with joy,⁸⁰⁵⁷ and with instruments of music.⁷⁹⁹¹

7  And the women⁸⁰² answered⁶⁰³⁰ one another as they played,⁷⁸³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ hath slain⁵²²¹ his thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and David¹⁷³² his ten thousands.⁷²³³

8  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ was very³⁹⁶⁶ wroth,²⁷³⁴ and the²⁰⁸⁸ saying¹⁶⁹⁷ displeased^{3415 5869} him; and he said,⁵⁵⁹ They have ascribed⁵⁴¹⁴ unto David¹⁷³² ten thousands,⁷²³³ and to me they have ascribed⁵⁴¹⁴ but thousands:⁵⁰⁵ and what can he have more⁵⁷⁵⁰ but³⁸⁹ the kingdom?⁴⁴¹⁰

9  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ eyed^{5770 853} David¹⁷³² from that day^{4480 3117 1931} and forward.¹⁹⁷³

10  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ on the morrow,^{4480 4283} that the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ from God⁴³⁰ came⁶⁷⁴³ upon⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and he prophesied⁵⁰¹² in the midst⁸⁴³² of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and David¹⁷³² played⁵⁰⁵⁹ with his hand,³⁰²⁷ as at other times:^{3117 3117} and there was a javelin²⁵⁹⁵ in Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ hand.³⁰²⁷

11  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ cast^{2904 853} the javelin;²⁵⁹⁵ for he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will smite⁵²²¹ David¹⁷³² even to the wall⁷⁰²³ with it. And David¹⁷³² avoided⁵⁴³⁷ out of his presence^{4480 6440} twice.⁶⁴⁷¹

12  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ was afraid³³⁷² of^{4480 6440} David,¹⁷³² because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and was departed⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5973} Saul.⁷⁵⁸⁶

13  Therefore Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ removed⁵⁴⁹³ him from^{4480 5973} him, and made⁷⁷⁶⁰ him his captain⁸²⁶⁹ over a thousand;⁵⁰⁵ and he went out³³¹⁸ and came in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

14  And David¹⁷³² behaved himself wisely⁷⁹¹⁹ in all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways;¹⁸⁷⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

15  Wherefore when Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that⁸³⁴ he¹⁹³¹ behaved himself very wisely,^{7919 3966} he was afraid¹⁴⁸¹ of^{4480 6440} him.

16  But all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah³⁰⁶³ loved^{157 853} David,¹⁷³² because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ went out³³¹⁸ and came in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.

17  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Behold²⁰⁰⁹ my elder¹⁴¹⁹ daughter¹³²³ Merab,⁴⁷⁶⁴ her will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee to wife:⁸⁰² only³⁸⁹ be¹⁹⁶¹ thou valiant^{1121 2428} for me, and fight³⁸⁹⁸ the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ battles.⁴⁴²¹ For Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ mine hand³⁰²⁷ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon him, but let the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon him.

18  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ Who⁴³¹⁰ am I?⁵⁹⁵ and what⁴³¹⁰ is my life,²⁴¹⁶ or my father's¹ family⁴⁹⁴⁰ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ I should be¹⁹⁶¹ son-in-law²⁸⁶⁰ to the king?⁴⁴²⁸

19  But it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the time⁶²⁵⁶ when ⁸⁵³ Merab⁴⁷⁶⁴ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ daughter¹³²³ should have been given⁵⁴¹⁴ to David,¹⁷³² that she¹⁹³¹ was given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto Adriel⁵⁷⁴¹ the Meholathite⁴²⁵⁹ to wife.⁸⁰²

20  And Michal⁴³²⁴ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ daughter¹³²³ loved^{157 853} David:¹⁷³² and they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ pleased^{3474 5869} him.

21  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ him her, that she may be¹⁹⁶¹ a snare⁴¹⁷⁰ to him, and that the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ may be¹⁹⁶¹ against him. Wherefore Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Thou shalt this day³¹¹⁷ be my son-in-law²⁸⁶⁰ in the one of the twain.⁸¹⁴⁷

22  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ commanded^{6680 853} his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ saying, Commune¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² secretly,³⁹⁰⁹ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ hath delight²⁶⁵⁴ in thee, and all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ love¹⁵⁷ thee: now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore be the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son-in-law.²⁸⁶⁰

23  And Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ spoke^{1696 853} those⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ in the ears²⁴¹ of David.¹⁷³² And David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ Seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ it to you a light⁷⁰⁴³ thing to be a king's⁴⁴²⁸ son-in-law,²⁸⁶⁰ seeing that I⁵⁹⁵ am a poor⁷³²⁶ man,³⁷⁶ and lightly esteemed?⁷⁰³⁴

24  And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ On this⁴²⁸ manner¹⁶⁹⁷ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ David.¹⁷³²

25  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ to David,¹⁷³² The king⁴⁴²⁸ desireth²⁶⁵⁶ not³⁶⁹ any dowry,⁴¹¹⁹ but³⁵⁸⁸ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ foreskins⁶¹⁹⁰ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ to be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ enemies.³⁴¹ But Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ thought²⁸⁰³ to make ⁸⁵³ David¹⁷³² fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

26  And when his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David^{1732 853} these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ it pleased^{3474 1697 5869} David¹⁷³² well to be the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son-in-law:²⁸⁶⁰ and the days³¹¹⁷ were not³⁸⁰⁸ expired.⁴³⁹⁰

27  Wherefore David¹⁷³² arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went,¹⁹⁸⁰ he¹⁹³¹ and his men,³⁷⁶ and slew⁵²²¹ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men;³⁷⁶ and David¹⁷³² brought^{935 853} their foreskins,⁶¹⁹⁰ and they gave them in full tale⁴³⁹⁰ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ that he might be the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son-in-law.²⁸⁶⁰ And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him ⁸⁵³ Michal⁴³²⁴ his daughter¹³²³ to wife.⁸⁰²

28  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ saw⁷²⁰⁰ and knew³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was with⁵⁹⁷³ David,¹⁷³² and that Michal⁴³²⁴ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ daughter¹³²³ loved¹⁵⁷ him.

29  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the more³²⁵⁴ afraid³³⁷² of^{4480 6440} David;¹⁷³² and Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ became^{1961 853} David's¹⁷³² enemy³⁴¹ continually.^{3605 3117}

30  Then the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ went forth:³³¹⁸ and it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after^{4480 167} they went forth,³³¹⁸ that David¹⁷³² behaved himself more wisely⁷⁹¹⁹ than all^{4480 3605} the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Saul;⁷⁵⁸⁶ so that his name⁸⁰³⁴ was much³⁹⁶⁶ set by.³³⁶⁵

6 καὶ ἐξῆλθον αἱ χορεύουσαι εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυιδ ἐκ πασῶν πόλεων Ισραηλ ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ ἐν χαρμοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις

7 καὶ ἐξῆρχον αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ ἔλεγον ἐπάταξεν Σαουλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ Δαυιδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαουλ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Δαυιδ ἔδωκαν τὰς μυριάδας καὶ ἐμοὶ ἔδωκαν τὰς χιλιάδας

9 καὶ ἦν Σαουλ ὑποβλεπόμενος τὸν Δαυιδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπέκεινα

12 καὶ ἐφοβήθη Σαουλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυιδ

13 καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἑαυτῷ χιλίαρχον καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ

14 καὶ ἦν Δαυιδ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ συνίων καὶ κύριος μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

15 καὶ εἶδεν Σαουλ ὡς αὐτὸς συνίει σφόδρα καὶ εὐλαβεῖτο ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ

16 καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδας ἠγάπα τὸν Δαυιδ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ

20 καὶ ἠγάπησεν Μελχολ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαουλ τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ ἀπηγγέλη Σαουλ καὶ ηὐθύνθη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ

21 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ δώσω αὐτὴν αὐτῷ καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς σκάνδαλον καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ Σαουλ χεὶρ ἀλλοφύλων

22 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Σαουλ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ λέγων λαλήσατε ὑμεῖς λάθρᾳ τῷ Δαυιδ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς θέλει ἐν σοί καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀγαπῶσίν σε καὶ σὺ ἐπιγάμβρευσον τῷ βασιλεῖ

23 καὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες Σαουλ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Δαυιδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ εἰ κοῦφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι βασιλεῖ κἀγὼ ἀνὴρ ταπεινὸς καὶ οὐχὶ ἔνδοξος

24 καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν οἱ παῖδες Σαουλ αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἃ ἐλάλησεν Δαυιδ

25 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ τάδε ἐρεῖτε τῷ Δαυιδ οὐ βούλεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν δόματι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων ἐκδικῆσαι εἰς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ Σαουλ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὸν ἐμβαλεῖν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων

26 καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν οἱ παῖδες Σαουλ τῷ Δαυιδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα καὶ εὐθύνθη ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Δαυιδ ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ

27 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύεται τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὴν Μελχολ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα

28 καὶ εἶδεν Σαουλ ὅτι κύριος μετὰ Δαυιδ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἠγάπα αὐτόν

29 καὶ προσέθετο εὐλαβεῖσθαι ἀπὸ Δαυιδ ἔτι

1 Et factum est cum complesset loqui ad Saul, anima Jonathæ conglutinata est animæ David, et dilexit eum Jonathas quasi animam suam.

2 Tulitque eum Saul in die illa, et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui.

3 Inierunt autem David et Jonathas fœdus: diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam.

4 Nam expoliavit se Jonathas tunica qua erat indutus, et dedit eam David, et reliqua vestimenta sua, usque ad gladium et arcum suum, et usque ad balteum.

5 Egrediebatur quoque David ad omnia quæcumque misisset eum Saul, et prudenter se agebat: posuitque eum Saul super viros belli, et acceptus erat in oculis universi populi, maximeque in conspectu famulorum Saul.

6 Porro cum reverteretur percusso Philisthæo David, egressæ sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israël, cantantes, chorosque ducentes in occursum Saul regis, in tympanis lætitiæ, et in sistris.

7 Et præcinebant mulieres, ludentes, atque dicentes: [Percussit Saul mille,
et David decem millia.]

8 Iratus est autem Saul nimis, et displicuit in oculis ejus sermo iste: dixitque: Dederunt David decem millia, et mihi mille dederunt: quid ei superest, nisi solum regnum?

9 Non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David a die illa et deinceps.

10 Post diem autem alteram, invasit spiritus Dei malus Saul, et prophetabat in medio domus suæ: David autem psallebat manu sua, sicut per singulos dies. Tenebatque Saul lanceam,

11 et misit eam, putans quod configere posset David cum pariete: et declinavit David a facie ejus secundo.

12 Et timuit Saul David, eo quod Dominus esset cum eo, et a se recessisset.

13 Amovit ergo eum Saul a se, et fecit eum tribunum super mille viros: et egrediebatur, et intrabat in conspectu populi.

14 In omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat, et Dominus erat cum eo.

15 Vidit itaque Saul quod prudens esset nimis, et cœpit cavere eum.

16 Omnis autem Israël et Juda diligebat David: ipse enim ingrediebatur et egrediebatur ante eos.

17 Dixitque Saul ad David: Ecce filia mea major Merob: ipsam dabo tibi uxorem: tantummodo esto vir fortis, et præliare bella Domini. Saul autem reputabat, dicens: Non sit manus mea in eum, sed sit super eum manus Philisthinorum.

18 Ait autem David ad Saul: Quis ego sum, aut quæ est vita mea, aut cognatio patris mei in Israël, ut fiam gener regis?

19 Factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David, data est Hadrieli Molathitæ uxor.

20 Dilexit autem David Michol filia Saul altera. Et nuntiatum est Saul, et placuit ei.

21 Dixitque Saul: Dabo eam illi, ut fiat ei in scandalum, et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum. Dixitque Saul ad David: In duabus rebus gener meus eris hodie.

22 Et mandavit Saul servis suis: Loquimini ad David clam me, dicentes: Ecce places regi, et omnes servi ejus diligunt te: nunc ergo esto gener regis.

23 Et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba hæc. Et ait David: Num parum videtur vobis, generum esse regis? ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis.

24 Et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes: Hujuscemodi verba locutus est David.

25 Dixit autem Saul: Sic loquimini ad David: Non habet rex sponsalia necesse, nisi tantum centum præputia Philisthinorum, ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis. Porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manus Philisthinorum.

26 Cumque renuntiassent servi ejus David verba quæ dixerat Saul, placuit sermo in oculis David, ut fieret gener regis.

27 Et post paucos dies surgens David, abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant. Et percussit ex Philisthiim ducentos viros, et attulit eorum præputia et annumeravit ea regi, ut esset gener ejus. Dedit itaque Saul ei Michol filiam suam uxorem.

28 Et vidit Saul, et intellexit quod Dominus esset cum David. Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum.

29 Et Saul magis cœpit timere David: factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus.

30 Et egressi sunt principes Philisthinorum. A principio autem egressionis eorum, prudentius se gerebat David quam omnes servi Saul, et celebre factum est nomen ejus nimis.
