Nahisa si Saul kay David
1Matapos makahambalanay si David kag si Saul, nag-amigohay si David kag ang anak ni Saul nga si Jonatan. Palangga gid ni Jonatan si David subong sang iya kaugalingon. 2Halin sadto wala na ginpapauli ni Saul si David sa ila balay. 3Nagpromisa si Jonatan kay David nga amiguhon niya siya hasta san-o, tungod kay palangga gid niya si David subong sang iya kaugalingon. 4Sa pagpamatuod sang iya promisa, gin-uba niya ang iya pangguwa nga bayo kag ginhatag kay David, pati ang iya kunop, espada, pana, kag paha.
5Nagmadinalag-on si David sa mga ginpahimo sa iya ni Saul, gani ginhatagan siya ni Saul sang mataas nga rangko sa iya mga soldado. Nagustuhan ini sang tanan nga tawo pati man sang mga opisyal ni Saul.
6Karon, sang nagapalauli na ang mga Israelinhon matapos mapatay ni David si Goliat, ginsugata si Saul sang mga babayi nga halin sa tanan nga banwa sang Israel. Malipayon sila nga nagakinanta kag nagasinaot nga may mga tamborin kag mga lira. 7Amo ini ang ila kanta:
“Pila lang ka libo ang napatay ni Saul, pero kay David iya tignapulo ka libo.”
8Naakig gid si Saul sang mabatian niya ang ila kanta. Nagsiling siya sa iya kaugalingon, “Nagasiling sila nga tignapulo ka libo ang napatay ni David pero ang akon iya pila lang ka libo. Sa sunod himuon na nila siya nga hari.” 9Gani halin sadto ginabantayan na sing maayo ni Saul si David tungod kay nahisa siya sa iya.
10-11Pagkadason nga adlaw, gin-gamhan si Saul sang malaot nga espiritu nga ginpadala sang Dios, kag naghalambalanon siya sa sulod sang iya balay. Nagtukar si David sang arpa para kay Saul subong sang iya masami nga ginahimo. Nagsiling si Saul sa iya kaugalingon samtang nagauyat siya sang bangkaw, “Bangkawon ko si David agod magtapik siya sa dingding.” Kag ginbangkaw niya si David sing makaduha, pero nakalikaw si David.
12Nahadlok si Saul kay David kay ginaupdan sang Ginoo si David, kag siya iya ginbayaan na sang Ginoo. 13Gani ginpapalayo niya si David sa iya, kag ginhimo niya siya nga kumander sang 1,000 ka soldado. Ginpanguluhan ni David ang mga soldado sa pagpakig-away. 14Nagmadinalag-on siya sa tanan nga ginhimo niya tungod kay nagaupod ang Ginoo sa iya. 15Sang mahibaluan ni Saul nga madinalag-on si David, hinadlukan na gid siya tapat. 16Pero naluyagan gid sang tanan nga taga-Israel kag taga-Juda si David, tungod kay ginapanguluhan niya sila sa pagpakig-away.
17Karon nagsiling si Saul kay David, “Handa ako nga ipaasawa sa imo ang akon kamagulangan nga anak nga si Merab sa kondisyon nga ipakita mo sa akon ang imo kaisog sa pagpakig-away para sa Ginoo.” Sa hunahuna ni Saul nga sa sini nga paagi mapatay si David sang mga Filistinhon, kag indi na kinahanglan nga siya pa ang magpatay sa iya. 18Pero nagsiling si David kay Saul, “Sin-o gid bala ako kag ang akon pamilya nga mangin umagad ako sang hari?”
19Sang tion nga ipaasawa na si Merab kay David, ginpaasawa ni Saul si Merab kay Adriel nga taga-Mehola.
20Karon ang isa pa ka anak ni Saul nga babayi nga si Mical naluyag kay David. Kag sang ginsugiran si Saul parte sini, nalipay siya. 21Nagsiling siya sa iya kaugalingon, “Ipaasawa ko si Mical kay David, kag himuon ko siya nga paon agod nga mapatay si David sang mga Filistinhon.” Gani nagsiling si Saul kay David, “May kahigayunan ka pa nga mangin akon umagad.”
22Sang ulihi ginsugo ni Saul ang iya mga alagad nga magpakigsugilanon kay David sa sekreto, kag ihambal ini sa iya, “Nagustuhan ka gid sang hari kag sang tanan niya nga mga alagad. Gani magsugot ka na nga mangin iya umagad.” 23Sang ginhambal nila ini kay David, nagsiling siya, “Indi ako makasarang sa pagbayad kay Saul para mapangasawa ko ang iya anak. Imol lang ako kag indi gani kilala.”
24Sang ginsugiran nila si Saul sang ginsiling ni David, 25nagsiling si Saul, “Silinga ninyo si David nga ang akon lang kinahanglan bilang bayad sa pagpangasawa sa akon anak amo ang panit sa punta sang kinatawo sang 100 ka Filistinhon,18:25 Ang buot silingon, patyon ni David ang mga Filistinhon kag ipakita niya kay Saul ang panit sa punta sang kinatawo sang 100 sa ila bilang ebidensya nga ginpatay matuod ni David ining wala matuli nga katawhan. bilang pagtimalos ko sa ila nga akon mga kaaway.” Amo ato ang plano ni Saul agod mapatay si David sa kamot sang mga Filistinhon.
26Sang ginsugid ini sang mga alagad ni Saul kay David, nalipay siya nga mangin umagad sang hari. Gani sa wala pa mag-abot ang tion nga gintalana ni Saul kay David, 27nagpakig-away si David kag ang iya mga tinawo sa mga Filistinhon kag nakapatay sila sang 200 ka Filistinhon. Ginpakuha niya dayon ang panit sa punta sang kinatawo sang mga Filistinhon kag gindala ini tanan sa hari, agod mangin umagad siya sang hari. Gani ginpaasawa ni Saul ang iya anak nga si Mical kay David.
28Sang mareyalisar ni Saul nga ang Ginoo nagaupod kay David kag naluyag gid ang iya anak nga si Mical kay David, 29hinadlukan na gid siya tapat kay David. Kag padayon nga kaaway niya si David samtang buhi pa siya.
30Padayon nga nagpakig-away ang mga Filistinhon sa mga Israelinhon. Kag kada inaway, madinalag-on si David labaw sang sa iban nga mga opisyal ni Saul. Gani nangin bantog gid si David.
1And 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. 2And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house. 3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 4And 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.
5¶ 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.18.5 behaved…: or, prospered
6And 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 musick.18.6 Philistine: or, Philistines18.6 instruments…: Heb. three stringed instruments 7And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8And 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?18.8 displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes 9And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10¶ 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. 11And 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.
12¶ And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul. 13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 14And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.18.14 behaved…: or, prospered 15Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
17¶ 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.18.17 valiant: Heb. a son of valour 18And 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? 19But 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. 20And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.18.20 pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes 21And 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.
22¶ 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. 23And 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? 24And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.18.24 On…: Heb. According to these words 25And 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. 26And 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.18.26 expired: Heb. fulfilled 27Wherefore 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.
28¶ And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him. 29And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually. 30Then 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.18.30 set by: Heb. precious
