1 Samuel 18:12-17

12And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732, because YhwhH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586. 13Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. 14And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; And YhwhH3068 was with him.1 15Wherefore when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behavedH7919 himself veryH3966 wiselyH7919, he was afraidH1481 ofH6440 him. 16But all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732, because he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 them.

17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: only be thou valiantH2428H1121 for me, and fightH3898 Yhwh'sH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not mine handH3027 be upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be upon him.2
