YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And it came
to pass, when he had
made
an
end
of
speaking
unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was
knit
with
the soul of David, and Jonathan loved
him as his own soul.
And it cometh
to pass, when he finisheth
to
speak
unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath
been
bound
to
the soul of David, and Jonathan loveth
him as his own soul.
And Saul took
him that day, and would
let
him go
no
more
home
to his
father's
house.
And Saul taketh
him on
that day, and hath
not
permitted
him to turn
back
to
the
house of
his
father
.
Then
Jonathan
and David made
a covenant, because he loved
him as his own soul .
And Jonathan
maketh
--
also
David --
a covenant, because he loveth
him as his own soul ,
And Jonathan stripped
himself of the robe that
was
upon him, and gave
it to David, and his garments
, even to
his sword, and to
his bow, and to
his girdle.
and Jonathan strippeth
himself of the upper
robe which
`is'
upon him, and giveth
it to David, and his long
robe
, even unto
his sword, and unto
his bow, and unto
his girdle.
And David went
out whithersoever Saul sent
him ,
and
behaved
himself
wisely :
and Saul set
him over the men of war, and he
was
accepted
in the sight
of all the people, and also in the sight
of Saul's
servants.
And David goeth
out whithersoever Saul doth
send
him ;
he
acted
wisely ,
and Saul setteth
him over the men of war, and it
is
good
in the eyes
of all the people, and also in the eyes
of the
servants of
Saul
.
And it came
to pass as
they
came
, when
David
was
returned
from the
slaughter
of
the Philistine, that the women came
out of
all cities of Israel ,
singing
and
dancing,
to meet king
Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of
music.
And it cometh
to pass, in
their
coming
in,
in
David's
returning
from smiting
the Philistine, that the women come
out from
all the
cities of Israel to sing
--
also
the
dancers
--
to
meet Saul the
king
, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed
instruments ;
And the women answered
one
another
as
they
played
, and said
, Saul hath slain
his thousands, and David his ten
thousands
.
and the women answer
--
those
playing
, and say
, `
Saul hath smitten
among
his thousands, And David among
his myriads
. '
And Saul was
very
wroth
, and the
saying
displeased
him;
and he said
, They have ascribed
unto
David ten
thousands
, and to me they have ascribed
but
thousands :
and what
can
he
have
more but
the kingdom ?
And it
is
displeasing
to
Saul exceedingly
, and this
thing
is
evil
in
his
eyes,
and he saith
, `
They have given
to
David myriads
, and to me they have given
the
thousands ,
and more to
him
`is'
only
the kingdom ;'
And Saul eyed
David from that day and forward
.
and Saul is
eyeing
David from that day and thenceforth
.
And it came
to pass on the morrow, that the evil
spirit from God came
upon
Saul, and he prophesied
in the midst of the house :
and David played
with his hand, as at
other
times:
and there
was
a
javelin in Saul's
hand .
And it cometh
to pass ,
on the morrow, that the spirit of
sadness
`
from '
God prospereth
over
Saul, and he prophesieth
in the midst of the house ,
and David is
playing
with his hand, as day
by
day,
and the
javelin `is'
in the
hand of
Saul,
And Saul cast
the javelin ;
for
he
said
, I will
smite David even to
the wall with
it.
And David avoided
out of his presence twice.
and Saul casteth
the javelin, and
saith,
`
I smite through
David ,
even through
the wall ;'
and David turneth
round
out of his presence twice.
And Saul was
afraid of David, because
the
LORD
was
with him, and was
departed
from Saul .
And Saul is
afraid of the
presence
of
David, for
Jehovah
hath
been
with him, and from Saul He
hath
turned
aside;
Therefore
Saul removed
him from him, and made
him his
captain
over
a thousand ;
and he went
out and
came
in before the people.
and
Saul turneth
him aside
from him, and appointeth
him to
himself
head
of
a thousand ,
and he goeth
out an
cometh
in ,
before the people.
And David behaved
himself
wisely
in all his ways ;
and the
LORD
was
with him .
And David is
in all his ways acting
wisely,
and Jehovah
`is'
with him ,
Wherefore
when
Saul saw
that he behaved
himself
very wisely, he
was
afraid of him .
and
Saul seeth
that he is
acting
very wisely, and
is
afraid of him ,
But
all Israel and Judah loved
David ,
because
he went
out and came
in before them.
and
all Israel and Judah love
David when
he is
going
out and coming
in before them.
And Saul said
to
David, Behold
my elder daughter Merab ,
her will
I give thee
to wife :
only be thou
valiant
for
me, and fight the LORD's
battles .
For
Saul said, Let not mine
hand be upon
him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
And Saul saith
unto
David, `Lo,
my elder daughter Merab --
her I give to thee
for
a
wife ;
only ,
be to
me for
a
son
of
valour
, and fight the battles of
Jehovah;'
and
Saul said, `
Let not my
hand be on
him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. '
And David said
unto Saul, Who am I? and what is
my life ,
or
my
father's
family in Israel ,
that I should
be
son in law to the king?
And David saith
unto Saul, `
Who `
am '
I? and what my life --
the
family of
my
father
in Israel --
that I am
son -
in -
law to the king? '
But
it came
to pass at the time when
Merab Saul's
daughter should
have
been
given
to David, that she was
given unto
Adriel the Meholathite to
wife.
And
it cometh
to pass ,
at the time of
the
giving
of
Merab daughter of
Saul
to David, that she hath
been
given to
Adriel the Meholathite for
a
wife.
And Michal Saul's
daughter loved
David :
and they told
Saul, and the thing pleased
him.
And Michal daughter of
Saul
loveth
David ,
and they declare
to
Saul, and the thing is
right
in
his
eyes,
And Saul said
, I will
give him
her, that
she may
be
a
snare
to him, and that
the hand of the Philistines may
be
against
him .
Wherefore
Saul said
to
David, Thou shalt
this
day
be
my son in law in
the
one
of
the
twain
.
and Saul saith
, `
I give her to
him
, and
she is
to him for
a
snare
, and the hand of the Philistines is
on
him ;'
and
Saul saith
unto
David, `By
the
second
--
thou dost
become
my son -
in -
law to-day
. '
And Saul commanded
his servants, saying,
Commune
with
David secretly
, and
say
, Behold
, the king hath delight
in thee, and all his servants love
thee :
now therefore
be the
king's
son in law.
And Saul commandeth
his servants, `Speak
unto
David gently
, saying
, Lo
, the king hath delighted
in thee, and all his servants have
loved
thee ,
and
now ,
be son -
in -
law to
the
king
. '
And Saul's
servants spake
those
words
in the ears of David .
And David said
, Seemeth
it to
you
a light thing to be a
king's
son in law ,
seeing
that
I am
a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
And the
servants of
Saul
speak
in the ears of David these
words,
and David saith
, `Is
it a light thing in
your
eyes
to be son -
in -
law to
the
king
--
and
I a poor man, and lightly esteemed? '
And the servants of Saul told
him, saying, On
this
manner
spake
David.
And the servants of Saul declare
to
him, saying, `According
to
these
words
hath
David spoken
. '
And Saul said
, Thus shall
ye say to David, The king desireth
not
any
dowry, but an
hundred foreskins of the Philistines ,
to be avenged of
the king's
enemies .
But
Saul thought to make
David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
And Saul saith
, `
Thus do
ye say to David, There
is
no
delight
to
the king in
dowry, but in
a
hundred foreskins of the Philistines --
to be avenged on
the enemies of
the
king;'
and
Saul thought to cause
David to
fall by the hand of the Philistines.
And when
his servants told
David these words, it
pleased
David well
to be the
king's
son in law :
and the days were
not expired.
And his servants declare
to
David these words, and
the
thing
is
right
in
the
eyes
of
David ,
to be son -
in -
law to
the
king;
and the days have
not been
full,
Wherefore
David arose
and went
, he and his men, and slew
of
the Philistines two hundred men ;
and David brought
their foreskins, and they gave
them in
full
tale
to
the king, that
he
might
be the
king's
son in law .
And Saul gave
him Michal his daughter to
wife.
and
David riseth
and goeth
, he and his men, and smiteth
among
the Philistines two hundred men ,
and David bringeth
in
their foreskins, and they set
them before
the king, to
be son -
in -
law to
the
king;
and Saul giveth
to
him Michal his daughter for
a
wife.
And Saul saw
and knew
that the
LORD
was
with David, and that
Michal Saul's
daughter loved him .
And Saul seeth
and knoweth
that Jehovah
`is'
with David, and Michal daughter of
Saul
hath
loved him ,
And Saul was
yet
the
more
afraid of David; and Saul became
David's
enemy continually
.
and Saul addeth
to
be
afraid of the
presence
of
David yet
; and Saul is
an
enemy with
David
all
the
days
.
Then
the princes of the Philistines went
forth:
and it came
to pass ,
after
they
went
forth
, that
David behaved
himself
more wisely than all
the servants of Saul ;
so
that
his name was
much
set
by
.
And
the princes of the Philistines come
out,
and it cometh
to pass from
the
time
of
their
coming
out
, David hath
acted
more wisely than any
of
the servants of Saul ,
and
his name is
very
precious
.
