A Novel of King David
David in 1 Samuel 18
(1 Samuel 18:1) And it happened when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul
of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as he did
his own soul.
(1 Samuel 18:2) And Saul took him that day and would not let him go home to his
father's house any more.
(1 Samuel 18:3) And Jonathan and David cut a covenant, because he loved him as
his own soul.
(1 Samuel 18:4) And Jonathan stripped off the robe was on him and gave it to
David, and his apparel, even to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle.
(1 Samuel 18:5) And David went out wherever Saul sent him, behaving himself
wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of
all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
(1 Samuel 18:6) And it happened as they came in, as David returned from striking
the Philistine, 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.
(1 Samuel 18:7) And the women answered as they played, and said, Saul has slain
his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
(1 Samuel 18:8) And Saul was very angry, and this thing was evil in his eyes.
And he said, They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given only
thousands. And what more can he have but the kingdom?
(1 Samuel 18:9) And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
(1 Samuel 18:10) And it happened on the next day the evil spirit from God came
on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. And David played with his
hand, as at other times. And a spear was in Saul's hand.
(1 Samuel 18:11) And Saul threw the spear. For he said, I will strike David even
to the wall. And David drew back out of his presence twice.
(1 Samuel 18:12) And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him and
had departed from Saul.
(1 Samuel 18:13) And Saul moved him away from himself, and made him his
commander over a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people.
(1 Samuel 18:14) And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways. And Jehovah
was with him.
(1 Samuel 18:15) And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was
afraid of him.
(1 Samuel 18:16) But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and
came in before them.
(1 Samuel 18:17) And Saul said to David, Behold I will give you my older
daughter Merab for a wife. Only you be a brave son for me and fight Jehovah's
battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the
Philistines be on him.
(1 Samuel 18:18) And 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 18:19) And it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should
have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to be his
wife.
(1 Samuel 18:20) And Saul's daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and
the thing pleased him.
(1 Samuel 18:21) And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a
trap to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. And
Saul said to David a second time, Today you shall be my son-in-law.
(1 Samuel 18:22) And Saul commanded his servants, Talk with David secretly and
say, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you. And now be
the king's son-in-law.
(1 Samuel 18:23) And Saul's servants spoke these words in the ears of David. And
David said, Is it a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man
and of little worth?
(1 Samuel 18:24) And the servants of Saul told him saying, This is the way David
spoke.
(1 Samuel 18:25) And Saul said, You shall say this to David, The king does not
desire any dowry except a 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.
(1 Samuel 18:26) And when his servants told David these words, it was right in
the eyes of David to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not fulfilled.
(1 Samuel 18:27) And David arose and went forth, he and his men. And they killed
two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they
gave them in full number to the king so that he might be the king's son-in-law.
And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.
(1 Samuel 18:28) And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and that
Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
(1 Samuel 18:29) And Saul was still more afraid of David. And Saul became
David's enemy continually.
(1 Samuel 18:30) And the rulers of the Philistines came out. And it happened as
often as they came out, David acted more wisely than all the servants of Saul,
so that his name was very precious.
