1 Samuel 18

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 David finished talking with Saul. After that, Jonathan and David became close friends. Jonathan loved David just as he loved himself.

2 From that time on, Saul kept David with him. He didn't let him return to his father's home.

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

4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David. He also gave him his military clothes. He even gave him his sword, his bow and his belt.

5 David did everything Saul sent him to do. He did it so well that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. That pleased Saul's whole army, including his officers.

6 After David had killed Goliath, the men of Israel returned home. The women came out of all of the towns of Israel to meet King Saul. They danced and sang joyful songs. They played lutes and tambourines.

7 As they danced, they sang, "Saul has killed thousands of men. David has killed tens of thousands."

8 That song made Saul very angry. It really upset him. He said to himself, "They are saying David has killed tens of thousands of men. But they are saying I've killed only thousands. The only thing left for him to get is the kingdom itself."

9 From that time on, Saul became very jealous of David. So he watched him closely.

10 The next day an evil spirit that was sent by God came on Saul with power. Saul began to prophesy in his house. At that same time David began to play the harp, just as he usually did. Saul was holding a spear.

11 He threw it at David. As he did, he said to himself, "I'll pin David to the wall." But David got away from him twice.

12 The LORD had left Saul and was with David. So Saul was afraid of David.

13 He sent David away. He put him in command of 1,000 men. David led the troops in battle.

14 In everything he did, he was very successful. That's because the LORD was with him.

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

16 But all of the troops of Israel and Judah loved David. That's because he led them in battle.

17 Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab. I'll give her to you to be your wife. Just serve me bravely and fight the LORD's battles." Saul said to himself, "I won't have to lift my hand to strike him down. The Philistines will do that!"

18 But David said to Saul, "Who am I? Is anyone in my whole family that important in Israel? Am I worthy to become the king's son-in-law?"

19 The time came for Saul to give his daughter Merab to David. Instead, Saul gave her to Adriel from Meholah to be his wife.

20 Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David. When they told Saul about it, he was pleased.

21 "I'll give her to him to be his wife," he said to himself. "Then maybe she'll trap him. And maybe the powerful hand of the Philistines will strike him down." So Saul said to David, "Now you have a second chance to become my son-in-law."

22 Then Saul gave an order to his attendants. He said, "Speak to David in private. Tell him, 'The king is pleased with you. All of his attendants like you. So become his son-in-law.' "

23 Saul's attendants spoke those very words to David. But David said, "Do you think it's a small thing to become the king's son-in-law? I'm only a poor man. I'm not very well known."

24 Saul's attendants told him what David had said.

25 Saul said, "Tell David, 'Here's the price the king wants for the bride. He wants you to kill 100 Philistines. Then bring back the skins you cut off when you circumcise them. That's how Saul will get even with his enemies.' " Saul hoped that the powerful hand of the Philistines would strike David down.

26 Saul's attendants also told David those things. Then David was pleased to become the king's son-in-law. So before the day that was set for the wedding,

27 David and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. They circumcised them. Then David brought all of the skins and gave them to the king. By doing that, he could become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave David his daughter Michal to be his wife.

28 Saul realized that the LORD was with David. He also realized that his daughter Michal loved David.

29 So Saul became even more afraid of him. He remained David's enemy as long as he was king.

30 The Philistine commanders kept on going out to battle. Every time they did, David had more success against them than the rest of Saul's officers. So his name became well known.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et factum est cum conplesset loqui ad Saul anima Ionathan conligata est animae David et dilexit eum Ionathan quasi animam suam

2 tulitque eum Saul in die illa et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui

3 inierunt autem Ionathan et David foedus diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam

4 nam expoliavit se Ionathan tunicam qua erat vestitus et dedit eam David et reliqua vestimenta sua usque ad gladium et arcum suum et usque ad balteum

5 egrediebatur quoque David ad omnia quaecumque misisset eum Saul et prudenter se agebat posuitque eum Saul super viros belli et acceptus erat in oculis universi populi maximeque in conspectu famulorum Saul

6 porro cum reverteretur percusso Philistheo David egressae sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israhel cantantes chorosque ducentes in occursum Saul regis in tympanis laetitiae et in sistris

7 et praecinebant mulieres ludentes atque dicentes percussit Saul mille et David decem milia

8 iratus est autem Saul nimis et displicuit in oculis eius iste sermo dixitque dederunt David decem milia et mihi dederunt mille quid ei superest nisi solum regnum

9 non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David ex die illa et deinceps

10 post diem autem alteram invasit spiritus Dei malus Saul et prophetabat in medio domus suae David autem psallebat manu sua sicut per singulos dies tenebatque Saul lanceam

11 et misit eam putans quod configere posset David cum pariete et declinavit David a facie eius secundo

12 et timuit Saul David eo quod esset Dominus cum eo et a se recessisset

13 amovit ergo eum Saul a se et fecit eum tribunum super mille viros et egrediebatur et intrabat in conspectu populi

14 in omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat et Dominus erat cum eo

15 vidit itaque Saul quod prudens esset nimis et coepit cavere eum

16 omnis autem Israhel et Iuda diligebat David ipse enim egrediebatur et ingrediebatur ante eos

17 dixit autem Saul ad David ecce filia mea maior Merob ipsam dabo tibi uxorem tantummodo esto vir fortis et proeliare bella Domini Saul autem reputabat dicens non sit manus mea in eo sed sit super illum manus Philisthinorum

18 ait autem David ad Saul quis ego sum aut quae est vita mea aut cognatio patris mei in Israhel ut fiam gener regis

19 factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David data est Hadrihel Molathitae uxor

20 dilexit autem Michol filia Saul altera David et nuntiatum est Saul et placuit ei

21 dixitque Saul dabo eam illi ut fiat ei in scandalum et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum dixit ergo Saul ad David in duabus rebus gener meus eris hodie

22 et mandavit Saul servis suis loquimini ad David clam me dicentes ecce places regi et omnes servi eius diligunt te nunc ergo esto gener regis

23 et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba haec et ait David num parum vobis videtur generum esse regis ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis

24 et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes huiuscemodi verba locutus est David

25 dixit autem Saul sic loquimini ad David non habet necesse rex sponsalia nisi tantum centum praeputia Philisthinorum ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manibus Philisthinorum

26 cumque renuntiassent servi eius David verba quae diximus placuit sermo in oculis David ut fieret gener regis

27 et post dies paucos surgens David abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant et percussis Philisthim ducentis viris adtulit praeputia eorum et adnumeravit ea regi ut esset gener eius dedit itaque ei Saul Michol filiam suam uxorem

28 et vidit Saul et intellexit quia Dominus esset cum David Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum

29 et Saul magis coepit timere David factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus

30 et egressi sunt principes Philisthinorum a principio autem egressionis eorum prudentius se gerebat David quam omnes servi Saul et celebre factum est nomen eius nimis
