KINGS I. (Sam. I.)

17. Verse 41. And the Philistine advanced and drew nigh to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.

Verse 50. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him, and there was no sword in the hand of David.

Verse 55. And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abenner the captain of the host. Whose son is this youth? and Abenner said, As thy soul lives, king, I know not. ⁵⁶ And the king said. Do thou ask whose son this youth is. ⁵⁷ And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abenner took him and brought him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand. ⁵⁸ And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said. The son of thy servant Jessae the Bethleemite.

18. And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him ^β as his own soul. ² And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ³ And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ⁴ And Jonathan stripped himself of his ^γ upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ⁵ And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and ^δ acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.

KINGS I. (Sam. I.)

18. Verse 8. (last part.) And what more can he have but the kingdom? ⁹ And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ¹⁰ And it came to pass ^ζ on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul's spear was in his hand. ¹¹ And Saul took his spear and said, I will smite David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence.

¹⁷ And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to thee to wife, only be thou to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ¹⁸ And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is the life of my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law? ¹⁹ But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife.

Verse 30. And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from ^θ the sufficiency of their expedition David acted wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honoured exceedingly.
