1 Samuel 18:12-17

12And SaulH7586 wasH1961 afraidH3372 of DavidH1732, because Jehovah wasH1961 with him, and had departedH5493 from SaulH7586.

13And SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captain over a thousandH505; and he wentH3318 out and cameH935 in before the peopleH5971.

14And DavidH1732 prospered in all his waysH1870; and Jehovah wasH1961 with him.

15And SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he prospered well, and he stood in awe of him.

16But all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732, for he wentH3318 out and cameH935 in before them.

17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my eldest daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802; onlyH389 beH1961 thou valiant for me, and fightH3898 Jehovah's battlesH4421. But SaulH7586 thought, My handH3027 shall not beH1961 upon him, but the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall beH1961 upon him.
