Chapter Eighteen And it came to pass,
when he had made an end of speaking unto

00:06.220 --> 00:10.880
Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit
with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved

00:10.880 --> 00:12.040
him as his own soul.

00:12.500 --> 00:16.520
And Saul took him that day, and would let
him go no more home to his father's house.

00:17.400 --> 00:21.160
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant,
because he loved him as his own soul.

00:21.620 --> 00:25.440
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe
that was upon him, and gave it to David,

00:25.440 --> 00:29.260
and his garments even to his sword,
and to his bow, and to his girdle.

00:30.180 --> 00:33.740
And David went out whithersoever Saul sent
him, and behaved himself wisely.

00:34.220 --> 00:37.720
And Saul set him over the men of war,
and he was accepted in the sight of all

00:37.720 --> 00:40.220
the people, and also in the sight of
Saul's servants.

00:40.980 --> 00:44.220
And it came to pass, as they came,
when David was returned from the slaughter

00:44.220 --> 00:48.340
of the Philistine, that the women came out
of all cities of Israel, singing and

00:48.340 --> 00:52.740
dancing, to meet King Saul, with tabrets,
with joy, and with instruments of music.

00:52.740 --> 00:57.360
And the women answered one another as they
played, and said, Saul hath slain his

00:57.360 --> 01:00.060
thousands, and David his ten thousands.

01:00.420 --> 01:03.880
And Saul was very wroth, and the saying
displeased him.

01:04.100 --> 01:08.660
And he said, They have ascribed unto David
ten thousands, and to me they have

01:08.660 --> 01:09.860
ascribed but thousands.

01:10.380 --> 01:12.580
And what can he have more but the kingdom?

01:12.940 --> 01:15.620
And Saul eyed David from that day and
forward.

01:16.320 --> 01:20.140
And it came to pass on the morrow,
that the evil spirit from God came upon

01:20.140 --> 01:22.520
Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of
the house.

01:23.140 --> 01:25.140
And David played with his hand,
as at other times.

01:25.820 --> 01:27.780
And there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

01:28.460 --> 01:33.460
And Saul cast the javelin, for he said,
I will smite David even to the wall with

01:33.460 --> 01:33.660
it.

01:34.100 --> 01:36.020
And David avoided out of his presence
twice.

01:37.240 --> 01:41.500
And Saul was afraid of David, because the
Lord was with him, and was departed from

01:41.500 --> 01:41.820
Saul.

01:42.740 --> 01:46.360
Therefore Saul removed him from him,
and made him his captain over a thousand.

01:46.760 --> 01:48.760
And he went out and came in before the
people.

01:48.760 --> 01:53.440
And David behaved himself wisely in all
his ways, and the Lord was with him.

01:54.300 --> 01:58.440
Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved
himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.

01:58.940 --> 02:03.240
But all Israel and Judah loved David,
because he went out and came in before

02:03.240 --> 02:03.560
them.

02:04.260 --> 02:09.500
And Saul said to David, Behold my elder
daughter Mirab, her will I give thee to

02:09.500 --> 02:09.820
wife.

02:10.560 --> 02:13.820
Only be thou valiant for me, and fight the
Lord's battles.

02:14.080 --> 02:19.020
For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon
him, but let the hand of the Philistines

02:19.020 --> 02:20.000
be upon him.

02:20.340 --> 02:22.400
And David said unto Saul, Who am I?

02:23.120 --> 02:27.780
And what is my life, or my father's family
in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to

02:27.780 --> 02:28.160
the king?

02:28.720 --> 02:31.820
But it came to pass at the time when
Mirab, Saul's daughter, should have been

02:31.820 --> 02:35.840
given to David, that she was given unto
Adriel, the Maholothite, to wife.

02:36.440 --> 02:38.580
And Michael, Saul's daughter, loved David.

02:38.800 --> 02:41.200
And they told Saul, and the thing pleased
him.

02:41.660 --> 02:46.420
And Saul said, I will give him her that
she may be a snare to him, and that the

02:46.420 --> 02:49.160
hand of the Philistines may be against
him.

02:49.560 --> 02:54.180
Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt
this day be my son-in-law in the one of

02:54.180 --> 02:54.800
the twain.

02:54.960 --> 02:58.400
And Saul commanded his servants,
saying, Commune with David secretly,

02:58.580 --> 03:03.680
and say, Behold, the king hath delight in
thee, and all his servants love thee.

03:03.980 --> 03:06.500
Now therefore be the king's son-in-law.

03:06.720 --> 03:09.580
And Saul's servants spake those words in
the ears of David.

03:10.100 --> 03:14.540
And David said, Seemeth it to you a light
thing to be a king's son-in-law,

03:15.360 --> 03:17.820
seeing that I am a poor man and lightly
esteemed?

03:18.200 --> 03:21.620
And the servants of Saul told him,
saying, On this manner spake David.

03:21.820 --> 03:26.320
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David,
The king desireth not any dowry,

03:26.700 --> 03:30.620
but an hundred foreskins of the
Philistines, to be avenged of the king's

03:30.620 --> 03:30.900
enemies.

03:31.380 --> 03:34.160
But Saul thought to make David fall by the
hand of the Philistines.

03:34.780 --> 03:39.200
And when his servants told David these
words, it pleased David well to be the

03:39.200 --> 03:41.660
king's son-in-law, and the days were not
expired.

03:42.600 --> 03:46.060
Wherefore David arose, and went,
he and his men, and slew of the

03:46.060 --> 03:47.400
Philistines two hundred men.

03:47.760 --> 03:51.200
And David brought their foreskins,
and they gave them in full tale to the

03:51.200 --> 03:53.260
king, that he might be the king's
son-in-law.

03:53.820 --> 03:56.280
And Saul gave him Michael his daughter to
wife.

03:57.120 --> 04:01.900
And Saul saw and knew that the Lord was
with David, and that Michael Saul's

04:01.900 --> 04:02.740
daughter loved him.

04:02.740 --> 04:08.000
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David,
and Saul became David's enemy continually.

04:08.920 --> 04:10.820
Then the princes of the Philistines went
forth.

04:11.080 --> 04:14.820
And it came to pass, after they went
forth, that David behaved himself more

04:14.820 --> 04:19.320
wisely than all the servants of Saul,
so that his name was much set by.
