I SAMUEL

I Samuel 18

1After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
Proverbs 18:24, 1 Samuel 20:17, Proverbs 18:24, 1 Samuel 20:17, 2 Samuel 1:26
2And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
1 Samuel 17:15, 1 Samuel 17:15, 1 Samuel 16:21, 1 Samuel 16:23, 1 Samuel 16:21
3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
1 Samuel 20:8, 1 Samuel 20:17, 1 Samuel 20:42, 1 Samuel 20:8, 1 Samuel 20:17
4And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
Genesis 41:42, Genesis 41:42, Isaiah 61:10, Luke 15:22, Esther 6:8
5So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
1 Samuel 18:30, 1 Samuel 18:30, 1 Samuel 18:14, 1 Samuel 18:15, 1 Samuel 18:14
6As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
Judges 11:34, Exodus 15:20, Judges 11:34, Exodus 15:20, Psalms 68:25
7And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
1 Samuel 21:11, 1 Samuel 21:11, Exodus 15:21, 1 Samuel 29:5, Exodus 15:21
8And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
1 Samuel 15:28, 1 Samuel 15:28, Proverbs 13:10, Proverbs 13:10, 1 Samuel 20:31
9And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
Mark 7:22, Matthew 20:15, Genesis 31:2, Genesis 4:5, Genesis 4:6
10The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
1 Samuel 19:9, 1 Kings 18:29, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 1 Samuel 19:9, 1 Kings 18:29
11and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
1 Samuel 20:33, 1 Samuel 20:33, Isaiah 54:17, Isaiah 54:17, Psalms 37:32
12So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
1 Samuel 18:15, 1 Samuel 18:29, 1 Samuel 18:15, 1 Samuel 18:29, 1 Samuel 28:15
13Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
2 Samuel 5:2, 2 Samuel 5:2, Psalms 121:8, Psalms 121:8, 1 Samuel 18:25
14and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
Genesis 39:23, Genesis 39:23, Joshua 6:27, Matthew 28:20, 1 Samuel 16:18
15When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
Psalms 112:5, James 1:5, Daniel 6:4, Daniel 6:5, James 3:17
16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
1 Samuel 18:5, 1 Samuel 18:5, 1 Kings 3:7, Luke 19:48, 2 Samuel 5:2
17Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
1 Samuel 18:25, 1 Samuel 17:25, 1 Samuel 25:28, 1 Samuel 18:25, 1 Samuel 17:25
18And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
2 Samuel 7:18, 2 Samuel 7:18, 1 Samuel 9:21, 1 Samuel 18:23, 1 Samuel 9:21
19So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
Judges 7:22, 2 Samuel 21:8, Judges 7:22, 2 Samuel 21:8, Judges 14:20
20Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
1 Samuel 18:28, 1 Samuel 18:28
21“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
1 Samuel 18:17, 1 Samuel 18:17, Exodus 10:7, Jeremiah 9:8, 1 Samuel 18:26
22Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
Psalms 55:21, 2 Samuel 13:28, 2 Samuel 13:29, Psalms 36:1, Psalms 36:3
23But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
Proverbs 14:20, Psalms 119:141, 1 Samuel 9:21, Proverbs 19:6, Proverbs 19:7
24And the servants told Saul what David had said.
25Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
Genesis 34:12, 1 Samuel 14:24, 1 Samuel 18:17, Genesis 34:12, 1 Samuel 14:24
26When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
1 Samuel 18:21, 1 Samuel 18:21
27David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
2 Samuel 3:14, 2 Samuel 3:14, Judges 14:19, 1 Samuel 18:13, Judges 14:19
28When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Genesis 30:27, Genesis 37:8, Genesis 37:11, 1 Samuel 26:25, Genesis 39:3
29he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
Ecclesiastes 4:4, Ecclesiastes 4:4, John 11:53, 1 Samuel 18:12, James 2:19
30Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
1 Samuel 18:5, 2 Samuel 11:1, 1 Samuel 18:5, 2 Samuel 11:1, Psalms 119:99
