1 Samuel 18:22-30
22And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, Commune with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, BeholdH2009, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and allH3605 his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: nowH6258 therefore be the king’sH4428 son in law. 23And Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650 spake thoseH428 wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, Seemeth it to youH853 a lightH7043 thingH1697 to be the king’sH4428 son in law, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightlyH7043 esteemedH7043? 24And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spake DavidH1732. 25And SaulH7586 saidH559, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desireth notH369 anyH369 dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king’sH4428 enemiesH341. NowH3588 SaulH7586 thoughtH559 to makeH2803 DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. 26And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 theseH428 wordsH1697, it pleasedH5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king’sH4428 son in law. And the daysH3117 were notH3808 expiredH4390; 27and DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH935, he and his menH376, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 twoH5221 hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gaveH5414 them in fullH4390 tale to the kingH4428, that he might be the king’sH4428 son in law. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802. 28And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732; and MichalH4324 Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him. 29And SaulH7586 was yet the moreH5750 afraidH3372 of DavidH1732; and SaulH7586 was David’sH1732 enemyH341 continuallyH3117. 30Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 wentH3318 forthH3318: and it cameH1961 to passH1961, as oftenH1767 as they wentH3318 forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself moreH3966 wisely thanH3605 allH3605 the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; soH1961 that his nameH8034 was muchH3605 setH3318 by.
