I Samuelis 17-18
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
17 Congregantes autem Philisthiim agmina sua in praelium, convenerunt in Socho Judae: et castrametati sunt inter Socho et Azeca in finibus Dommim.
2 Porro Saul et filii Israel congregati venerunt in Vallem terebinthi, et direxerunt aciem ad pugnandum contra Philisthiim.
3 Et Philisthiim stabant super montem ex parte hac, et Israel stabat supra montem ex altera parte: vallisque erat inter eos.
4 Et egressus est vir spurius de castris Philisthinorum nomine Goliath, de Geth, altitudinis sex cubitorum et palmi:
5 et cassis aerea super caput ejus, et lorica squamata induebatur. Porro pondus loricae ejus, quinque millia siclorum aeris erat:
6 et ocreas aereas habebat in cruribus, et clypeus aereus tegebat humeros ejus.
7 Hastile autem hastae ejus erat quasi liciatorium texentium: ipsum autem ferrum hastae ejus sexcentos siclos habebat ferri: et armiger ejus antecedebat eum.
8 Stansque clamabat adversum phalangas Israel, et dicebat eis: Quare venistis parati ad praelium? numquid ego non sum Philisthaeus, et vos servi Saul? eligite ex vobis virum, et descendat ad singulare certamen.
9 Si quiverit pugnare mecum, et percusserit me, erimus vobis servi: si autem ego praevaluero, et percussero eum, vos servi eritis, et servietis nobis.
10 Et aiebat Philisthaeus: Ego exprobravi agminibus Israel hodie: date mihi virum, et ineat mecum singulare certamen.
11 Audiens autem Saul et omnes Israelitae sermones Philisthaei hujuscemodi, stupebant, et metuebant nimis.
12 David autem erat filius viri Ephrathaei, de quo supra dictum est, de Bethlehem Juda, cui nomen erat Isai, qui habebat octo filios, et erat vir in diebus Saul senex, et grandaevus inter viros.
13 Abierunt autem tres filii ejus majores post Saul in praelium: et nomina trium filiorum ejus qui perrexerunt ad bellum, Eliab primogenitus, et secundus Abinadab, tertiusque Samma.
14 David autem erat minimus. Tribus ergo majoribus secutis Saulem,
15 abiit David, et reversus est a Saul ut pasceret gregem patris sui in Bethlehem.
16 Procedebat vero Philisthaeus mane et vespere, et stabat quadraginta diebus.
17 Dixit autem Isai ad David filium suum: Accipe fratribus tuis ephi polentae, et decem panes istos, et curre in castra ad fratres tuos,
18 et decem formellas casei has deferes ad tribunum: et fratres tuos visitabis, si recte agant: et cum quibus ordinati sunt, disce.
19 Saul autem, et illi, et omnes filii Israel, in Valle terebinthi pugnabant adversum Philisthiim.
20 Surrexit itaque David mane, et commendavit gregem custodi: et onustus abiit, sicut praeceperat ei Isai. Et venit ad locum Magala, et ad exercitum, qui egressus ad pugnam vociferatus erat in certamine.
21 Direxerat enim aciem Israel, sed et Philisthiim ex adverso fuerant praeparati.
22 Derelinquens ergo David vasa quae attulerat sub manu custodis ad sarcinas, cucurrit ad locum certaminis, et interrogabat si omnia recte agerentur erga fratres suos.
23 Cumque adhuc ille loqueretur eis, apparuit vir ille spurius ascendens, Goliath nomine, Philisthaeus de Geth, de castris Philisthinorum: et loquente eo haec eadem verba audivit David.
24 Omnes autem Israelitae, cum vidissent virum, fugerunt a facie ejus, timentes eum valde.
25 Et dixit unus quispiam de Israel: Num vidistis virum hunc, qui ascendit? ad exprobrandum enim Israeli ascendit. Virum ergo qui percusserit eum, ditabit rex divitiis magnis, et filiam suam dabit ei, et domum patris ejus faciet absque tributo in Israel.
26 Et ait David ad viros qui stabant secum, dicens: Quid dabitur viro qui percusserit Philisthaeum hunc, et tulerit opprobrium de Israel? quis enim est hic Philisthaeus incircumcisus, qui exprobravit acies Dei viventis?
27 Referebat autem ei populus eumdem sermonem, dicens: Haec dabuntur viro qui percusserit eum.
28 Quod cum audisset Eliab frater ejus major, loquente eo cum aliis, iratus est contra David, et ait: Quare venisti, et quare dereliquisti pauculas oves illas in deserto? Ego novi superbiam tuam, et nequitiam cordis tui: quia ut videres praelium, descendisti.
29 Et dixit David: Quid feci? numquid non verbum est?
30 Et declinavit paululum ab eo ad alium: dixitque eumdem sermonem. Et respondit ei populus verbum sicut prius.
31 Audita sunt autem verba quae locutus est David, et annuntiata in conspectu Saul.
32 Ad quem cum fuisset adductus, locutus est ei: Non concidat cor cujusquam in eo: ego servus tuus vadam, et pugnabo adversus Philisthaeum.
33 Et ait Saul ad David: Non vales resistere Philisthaeo isti, nec pugnare adversus eum, quia puer es: hic autem vir bellator est ab adolescentia sua.
34 Dixitque David ad Saul: Pascebat servus tuus patris sui gregem, et veniebat leo vel ursus, et tollebat arietem de medio gregis:
35 et persequebar eos, et percutiebam, eruebamque de ore eorum: et illi consurgebant adversum me, et apprehendebam mentum eorum, et suffocabam, interficiebamque eos.
36 Nam et leonem et ursum interfeci ego servus tuus: erit igitur et Philisthaeus hic incircumcisus quasi unus ex eis. Nunc vadam, et auferam opprobrium populi: quoniam quis est iste Philisthaeus incircumcisus, qui ausus est maledicere exercitui Dei viventis?
37 Et ait David: Dominus qui eripuit me de manu leonis, et de manu ursi, ipse me liberabit de manu Philisthaei hujus. Dixit autem Saul ad David: Vade, et Dominus tecum sit.
38 Et induit Saul David vestimentis suis, et imposuit galeam aeream super caput ejus, et vestivit eum lorica.
39 Accinctus ergo David gladio ejus super vestem suam, coepit tentare si armatus posset incedere: non enim habebat consuetudinem. Dixitque David ad Saul: Non possum sic incedere, quia non usum habeo. Et deposuit ea,
40 et tulit baculum suum, quem semper habebat in manibus: et elegit sibi quinque limpidissimos lapides de torrente, et misit eos in peram pastoralem quam habebat secum, et fundam manu tulit: et processit adversum Philisthaeum.
41 Ibat autem Philisthaeus incedens, et appropinquans adversum David, et armiger ejus ante eum.
42 Cumque inspexisset Philisthaeus, et vidisset David, despexit eum. Erat enim adolescens, rufus, et pulcher aspectu.
43 Et dixit Philisthaeus ad David: Numquid ego canis sum, quod tu venis ad me cum baculo? Et maledixit Philisthaeus David in diis suis:
44 dixitque ad David: Veni ad me, et dabo carnes tuas volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae.
45 Dixit autem David ad Philisthaeum: Tu venis ad me cum gladio, et hasta, et clypeo: ego autem venio ad te in nomine Domini exercituum, Dei agminum Israel quibus exprobrasti
46 hodie, et dabit te Dominus in manu mea, et percutiam te, et auferam caput tuum a te: et dabo cadavera castrorum Philisthiim hodie volatilibus caeli, et bestiis terrae, ut sciat omnis terra quia est Deus in Israel,
47 et noverit universa ecclesia haec, quia non in gladio nec in hasta salvat Dominus: ipsius enim est bellum, et tradet vos in manus nostras.
48 Cum ergo surrexisset Philisthaeus, et veniret, et appropinquaret contra David, festinavit David et cucurrit ad pugnam ex adverso Philisthaei.
49 Et misit manum suam in peram, tulitque unum lapidem, et funda jecit, et circumducens percussit Philisthaeum in fronte: et infixus est lapis in fronte ejus, et cecidit in faciem suam super terram.
50 Praevaluitque David adversum Philisthaeum in funda et lapide, percussumque Philisthaeum interfecit. Cumque gladium non haberet in manu David,
51 cucurrit, et stetit super Philisthaeum, et tulit gladium ejus, et eduxit eum de vagina sua: et interfecit eum, praeciditque caput ejus. Videntes autem Philisthiim quod mortuus esset fortissimus eorum, fugerunt.
52 Et consurgentes viri Israel et Juda vociferati sunt, et persecuti sunt Philisthaeos usque dum venirent in vallem, et usque ad portas Accaron: cecideruntque vulnerati de Philisthiim in via Saraim, et usque ad Geth, et usque ad Accaron.
53 Et revertentes filii Israel postquam persecuti fuerant Philisthaeos, invaserunt castra eorum.
54 Assumens autem David caput Philisthaei, attulit illud in Jerusalem: arma vero ejus posuit in tabernaculo suo.
55 Eo autem tempore quo viderat Saul David egredientem contra Philisthaeum, ait ad Abner principem militiae: De qua stirpe descendit hic adolescens, Abner? Dixitque Abner: Vivit anima tua, rex, si novi.
56 Et ait rex: Interroga tu, cujus filius sit iste puer.
57 Cumque regressus esset David, percusso Philisthaeo, tulit eum Abner, et introduxit coram Saule, caput Philisthaei habentem in manu.
58 Et ait ad eum Saul: De qua progenie es, o adolescens? Dixitque David: Filius servi tui Isai Bethlehemitae ego sum.
18 Et factum est cum complesset loqui ad Saul, anima Jonathae conglutinata est animae David, et dilexit eum Jonathas quasi animam suam.
2 Tulitque eum Saul in die illa, et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui.
3 Inierunt autem David et Jonathas foedus: diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam.
4 Nam expoliavit se Jonathas tunica qua erat indutus, 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 Philisthaeo David, egressae sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israel, 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 millia.
8 Iratus est autem Saul nimis, et displicuit in oculis ejus sermo iste: dixitque: Dederunt David decem millia, et mihi mille dederunt: quid ei superest, nisi solum regnum?
9 Non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David a 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 ejus secundo.
12 Et timuit Saul David, eo quod Dominus esset 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 Israel et Juda diligebat David: ipse enim ingrediebatur et egrediebatur ante eos.
17 Dixitque Saul ad David: Ecce filia mea major Merob: ipsam dabo tibi uxorem: tantummodo esto vir fortis, et praeliare bella Domini. Saul autem reputabat, dicens: Non sit manus mea in eum, sed sit super eum manus Philisthinorum.
18 Ait autem David ad Saul: Quis ego sum, aut quae est vita mea, aut cognatio patris mei in Israel, ut fiam gener regis?
19 Factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David, data est Hadrieli Molathitae uxor.
20 Dilexit autem David Michol filia Saul altera. Et nuntiatum est Saul, et placuit ei.
21 Dixitque Saul: Dabo eam illi, ut fiat ei in scandalum, et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum. Dixitque 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 ejus diligunt te: nunc ergo esto gener regis.
23 Et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba haec. Et ait David: Num parum videtur vobis, generum esse regis? ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis.
24 Et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes: Hujuscemodi verba locutus est David.
25 Dixit autem Saul: Sic loquimini ad David: Non habet rex sponsalia necesse, nisi tantum centum praeputia Philisthinorum, ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis. Porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manus Philisthinorum.
26 Cumque renuntiassent servi ejus David verba quae dixerat Saul, placuit sermo in oculis David, ut fieret gener regis.
27 Et post paucos dies surgens David, abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant. Et percussit ex Philisthiim ducentos viros, et attulit eorum praeputia et annumeravit ea regi, ut esset gener ejus. Dedit itaque Saul ei Michol filiam suam uxorem.
28 Et vidit Saul, et intellexit quod 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 ejus nimis.
1 Samuel 17-18

1 Samuel 17-18
New International Version
David and Goliath
17 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled(A) at Sokoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Sokoh(B) and Azekah.(C) 2 Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah(D) and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. 3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath,(E) who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[a] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[b]; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin(F) was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod,(G) and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[c] His shield bearer(H) went ahead of him.
8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose(I) a man and have him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy(J) the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.(K)” 11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite(L) named Jesse,(M) who was from Bethlehem(N) in Judah. Jesse had eight(O) sons, and in Saul’s time he was very old. 13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab;(P) the second, Abinadab;(Q) and the third, Shammah.(R) 14 David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, 15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend(S) his father’s sheep(T) at Bethlehem.
16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand.
17 Now Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah[d](U) of roasted grain(V) and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. 18 Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers(W) are and bring back some assurance[e] from them. 19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 Early in the morning David left the flock in the care of a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry. 21 Israel and the Philistines were drawing up their lines facing each other. 22 David left his things with the keeper of supplies,(X) ran to the battle lines and asked his brothers how they were. 23 As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual(Y) defiance, and David heard it. 24 Whenever the Israelites saw the man, they all fled from him in great fear.
25 Now the Israelites had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel. The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter(Z) in marriage and will exempt his family from taxes(AA) in Israel.”
26 David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace(AB) from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised(AC) Philistine that he should defy(AD) the armies of the living(AE) God?”
27 They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger(AF) at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.”
29 “Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” 30 He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. 31 What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.
32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart(AG) on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
33 Saul replied,(AH) “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion(AI) or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized(AJ) it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion(AK) and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued(AL) me from the paw of the lion(AM) and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with(AN) you.”
38 Then Saul dressed David in his own(AO) tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. 39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.
“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer(AP) in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome,(AQ) and he despised(AR) him. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog,(AS) that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds(AT) and the wild animals!(AU)”
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,(AV) but I come against you in the name(AW) of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.(AX) 46 This day the Lord will deliver(AY) you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses(AZ) of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world(BA) will know that there is a God in Israel.(BB) 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword(BC) or spear that the Lord saves;(BD) for the battle(BE) is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling(BF) and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut(BG) off his head with the sword.(BH)
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[f] and to the gates of Ekron.(BI) Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim(BJ) road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.
55 As Saul watched David(BK) going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner,(BL) whose son is that young man?”
Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”
56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse(BM) of Bethlehem.”
Saul’s Growing Fear of David
18 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan(BN) became one in spirit with David, and he loved(BO) him as himself.(BP) 2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family. 3 And Jonathan made a covenant(BQ) with David because he loved him as himself. 4 Jonathan took off the robe(BR) he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.(BS)
5 Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful(BT) that Saul gave him a high rank in the army.(BU) This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well.
6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing,(BV) with joyful songs and with timbrels(BW) and lyres. 7 As they danced, they sang:(BX)
“Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens(BY) of thousands.”
8 Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?(BZ)” 9 And from that time on Saul kept a close(CA) eye on David.
10 The next day an evil[g] spirit(CB) from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre,(CC) as he usually(CD) did. Saul had a spear(CE) in his hand 11 and he hurled it, saying to himself,(CF) “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded(CG) him twice.(CH)
12 Saul was afraid(CI) of David, because the Lord(CJ) was with(CK) David but had departed from(CL) Saul. 13 So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led(CM) the troops in their campaigns.(CN) 14 In everything he did he had great success,(CO) because the Lord was with(CP) him. 15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him. 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns.(CQ)
17 Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter(CR) Merab. I will give her to you in marriage;(CS) only serve me bravely and fight the battles(CT) of the Lord.” For Saul said to himself,(CU) “I will not raise a hand against him. Let the Philistines do that!”
18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I,(CV) and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?(CW)” 19 So[h] when the time came for Merab,(CX) Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.(CY)
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal(CZ) was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.(DA) 21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare(DB) to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”
22 Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’”
23 They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law?(DC) I’m only a poor man and little known.”
24 When Saul’s servants told him what David had said, 25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price(DD) for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge(DE) on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan(DF) was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.
26 When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, 27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal(DG) in marriage.
28 When Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal(DH) loved David, 29 Saul became still more afraid(DI) of him, and he remained his enemy the rest of his days.
30 The Philistine commanders continued to go out to battle, and as often as they did, David met with more success(DJ) than the rest of Saul’s officers, and his name became well known.
