| 1 | And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. | — |
| 2 | And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house. | — |
| 3 | And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul. | — |
| 4 | And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. | — |
| 5 | And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants. | — |
| 6 | Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets. | Καὶ ἐξῆλθον αἱ χορεύουσαι εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυὶδ ἐκ πασῶν πόλεων Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τυμπάνοις, καὶ ἐν χαρμοσύνῃ, καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις. |
| 7 | And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands. | Καὶ ἐξῆρχον αἱ γυναῖκες, καὶ ἔλεγον, ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ. |
| 8 | And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom? | Καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαοὺλ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, καὶ εἶπε, τῷ Δαυὶδ ἔδωκαν τὰς μυριάδας, καὶ ἐμοὶ ἔδωκαν τὰς χιλιάδας. |
| 9 | And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward. | — |
| 10 | And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand, | — |
| 11 | And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice. | — |
| 12 | And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself. | Καὶ ἐφοβήθη Σαοὺλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυὶδ, |
| 13 | Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people. | καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἑαυτῷ χιλίαρχον· καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ. |
| 14 | And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. | Καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ συνιῶν, καὶ Κύριος ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 15 | And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him. | Καὶ εἶδε Σαοὺλ ὡς αὐτὸς συνιεῖ σφόδρα, καὶ εὐλαβεῖτο ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. |
| 16 | But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them. | Καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδας ἠγάπα τὸν Δαυὶδ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἰσεπορεύετο καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ. |
| 17 | And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him. | — |
| 18 | And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king? | — |
| 19 | And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife. | — |
| 20 | But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him. | Καὶ ἠγάπησε Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ηὐθύνθη ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. |
| 21 | And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day. | Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, δώσω αὐτὴν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς σκάνδαλον· καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ χεὶρ ἀλλοφύλων. |
| 22 | And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s son in law. | Καὶ ἐνετείλατο Σαοὺλ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, λέγων, λαλήσατε ὑμεῖς λάθρα τῷ Δαυὶδ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ θέλει ἐν σοὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀγαπῶσί σε, καὶ σὺ ἐπιγάμβρευσον τῷ βασιλεῖ. |
| 23 | And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability. | Καὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, εἰ κούφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι βασιλεῖ; κᾀγὼ ἀνὴρ ταπεινὸς, καὶ οὐχὶ ἔνδοξος. |
| 24 | And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken. | Καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, ἃ ἐλάλησε Δαυίδ. |
| 25 | And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines. | Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, τάδε ἐρεῖτε τῷ Δαυὶδ, οὐ βούλεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν δόματι ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων ἐκδικῆσαι ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐλογίσατο ἐμβαλεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. |
| 26 | And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law. | Καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ τῷ Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ηὐθύνθη ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Δαυὶδ ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ. |
| 27 | And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife. | Καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύεται τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὴν Μελχὸλ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα. |
| 28 | And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him. | Καὶ εἶδε Σαοὺλ ὅτι Κύριος μετὰ Δαυὶδ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἠγάπα αὐτόν. |
| 29 | And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually. | Καὶ προσέθετο εὐλαβεῖσθαι ἀπὸ Δαυὶδ ἔτι. |
| 30 | And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous. | — |
