1 Samuele 18

Riveduta 1927 (Italian) RIV

1 Come Davide ebbe finito di parlare con Saul, l’anima di Gionathan rimase così legata all’anima di lui, che Gionathan l’amò come l’anima sua.

2 Da quel giorno Saul lo tenne presso di sé e non permise più ch’ei se ne tornasse a casa di suo padre.

3 E Gionathan fece alleanza con Davide, perché lo amava come l’anima propria.

4 Quindi Gionathan si tolse di dosso il mantello, e lo diede a Davide; e così fece delle sue vesti, fino alla sua spada, al suo arco e alla sua cintura.

5 E Davide andava e riusciva bene dovunque Saul lo mandava: Saul lo mise a capo della gente di guerra, ed egli era gradito a tutto il popolo, anche ai servi di Saul.

6 Or all’arrivo dell’esercito, quando Davide, ucciso il Filisteo, facea ritorno, le donne uscirono da tutte le città d’Israele incontro al re Saul, cantando e danzando al suon de’ timpani e de’ triangoli, e alzando grida di gioia;

7 e le donne, danzando, si rispondevano a vicenda e dicevano: Saul ha ucciso i suoi mille, e Davide i suoi diecimila.

8 Saul n’ebbe sdegno fortissimo; quelle parole gli dispiacquero, e disse: "Ne dànno diecimila a Davide, e a me non ne dan che mille! Non gli manca più che il regno!"

9 E Saul, da quel giorno in poi, guardò Davide di mal occhio.

10 Il giorno dopo, un cattivo spirito, suscitato da Dio, s’impossessò di Saul che era come fuori di sé in mezzo alla casa, mentre Davide sonava l’arpa, come solea fare tutti i giorni. Saul aveva in mano la sua lancia;

11 e la scagliò, dicendo: "Inchioderò Davide al muro!" Ma Davide schivò il colpo per due volte.

12 Saul avea paura di Davide, perché l’Eterno era con lui e s’era ritirato da Saul;

13 perciò Saul lo allontanò da sé, e lo fece capitano di mille uomini; ed egli andava e veniva alla testa del popolo.

14 Or Davide riusciva bene in tutte le sue imprese, e l’Eterno era con lui.

15 E quando Saul vide ch’egli riusciva splendidamente, cominciò ad aver timore di lui;

16 ma tutto Israele e Giuda amavano Davide, perché andava e veniva alla loro testa.

17 Saul disse a Davide: "Ecco Merab, la mia figliuola maggiore; io te la darò per moglie; solo siimi valente, e combatti le battaglie dell’Eterno". Or Saul diceva tra sé: "Non sia la mia mano che lo colpisca, ma sia la mano de’ Filistei".

18 Ma Davide rispose a Saul: "Chi son io, che è la vita mia, e che è la famiglia di mio padre in Israele, ch’io abbia ad essere genero del re?"

19 Or avvenne che, quando Merab figliuola di Saul doveva esser data a Davide, fu invece sposata ad Adriel di Mehola.

20 Ma Mical, figliuola di Saul, amava Davide; lo riferirono a Saul, e la cosa gli piacque.

21 E Saul disse: "Gliela darò, perché sia per lui un’insidia ed egli cada sotto la mano de’ Filistei". Saul dunque disse a Davide: "Oggi, per la seconda volta, tu puoi diventar mio genero".

22 Poi Saul diede quest’ordine ai suoi servitori: "Parlate in confidenza a Davide, e ditegli: Ecco, tu sei in grazia del re, e tutti i suoi servi ti amano, diventa dunque genero del re".

23 I servi di Saul ridissero queste parole a Davide. Ma Davide replicò: "Sembra a voi cosa lieve il diventar genero del re? E io son povero e di basso stato".

24 I servi riferirono a Saul: "Davide ha risposto così e così".

25 E Saul disse: "Dite così a Davide: Il re non domanda dote; ma domanda cento prepuzi di Filistei, per trar vendetta de’ suoi nemici". Or Saul aveva in animo di far cader Davide nelle mani de’ Filistei.

26 I servitori dunque riferirono quelle parole a Davide, e a Davide piacque di diventar in tal modo genero del re. E prima del termine fissato,

27 Davide si levò, partì con la sua gente, uccise duecento uomini de’ Filistei, portò i loro prepuzi e ne consegnò il numero preciso al re, per diventar suo genero.

28 E Saul gli diede per moglie Mical, sua figliuola. E Saul vide e riconobbe che l’Eterno era con Davide; e Mical, figliuola di Saul, l’amava.

29 E Saul continuò più che mai a temer Davide, e gli fu sempre nemico.

30 Or i principi de’ Filistei uscivano a combattere; e ogni volta che uscivano, Davide riusciva meglio di tutti i servi di Saul, in guisa che il suo nome divenne molto famoso.

New International Version NIV

1 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.

2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family.

3 And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.

4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.

5 Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well.

6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres.

7 As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”

8 Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?”

9 And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.

10 The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand

11 and he hurled it, saying to himself, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.

12 Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.

13 So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns.

14 In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.

15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him.

16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns.

17 Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage; only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the LORD.” For Saul said to himself, “I will not raise a hand against him. Let the Philistines do that!”

18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?”

19 So when the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.

20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.

21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”

22 Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’ ”

23 They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.”

24 When Saul’s servants told him what David had said,

25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’ ” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.

26 When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed,

27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

28 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,

29 Saul became still more afraid of him, and he remained his enemy the rest of his days.

30 The Philistine commanders continued to go out to battle, and as often as they did, David met with more success than the rest of Saul’s officers, and his name became well known.
