1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 18
Jonathan loveth David; they covenant together, 1Sa_18:1-4. Saul envieth David’s praise; in his fury seeketh to kill him, 1Sa_18:5-11: is afraid of him; and removeth him: he is loved by the people, 1Sa_18:12-16. Saul offereth David his daughters; first Merab, who is given to Adriel; then Michal, who loveth David, 1Sa_18:17-20. Saul demandeth one hundred foreskins of the Philistines for a dowry: David promiseth; delivereth double the number; obtaineth Michal, 1Sa_18:21-27. Saul’s fear and hatred, and David’s glory, increaseth, 1Sa_18:28-30.
