09:018:018 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?
09:018:019 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.
09:018:020 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved
David: and they told Saul,
and
the thing pleased him.
09:018:021 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.
09:018:022 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.
09:018:023 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?
09:018:024 And the servants of Saul told him, saying,
On this manner
spake
David.
09:018:025 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.
09:018:026 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.
09:018:027 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.
09:018:028 And Saul saw and knew that the lord
was with David, and that
Michal
Saul’s daughter loved him.
09:018:029 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David;
and Saul became
David’s
enemy continually.
09:018:030 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.
09:019:001 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and
to all his servants,
that
they should kill David.
09:019:002 But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted
much in David: and Jonathan
told
David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee:
now
therefore,
I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the
morning,
and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
