Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 18:12-17
12And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 of DavidH1732, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586.
13Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he wentH3318 outH3318 and cameH935 in beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
14And DavidH1732 behaved himself wisely in allH3605 his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him.
15And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behaved himselfH1931 veryH3966 wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16But allH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732; for he wentH3318 outH3318 and cameH935 in beforeH6440 them.
17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, BeholdH2009, my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, herH413 will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: onlyH389 be thou valiantH2428 for meH413. and fightH3898 the LORD’SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, LetH5414 notH408 mine handH3027 be uponH1961 him, but letH5414 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be uponH1961 him.
