I Samuel

1 And it happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

1 N/A	1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε λαλῶν πρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ Ἰωνάθαν συνεδέθη τῇ ψυχῇ Δαυὶδ καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὸν Ἰωνάθαν κατὰ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
1 N/A	1 And it happened when he had finished speaking to Saoul, that the soul of Jōnathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jōnathan loved him as his own soul.

2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.

2 N/A	2 καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν Σαοὺλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν ἐπιστρέψαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
2 N/A	2 And Saoul took him in that day, and did not allow him to return to his father’s house.

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

3 N/A	3 καὶ διέθετο Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ ἀγαπᾶν αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
3 N/A	3 And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul.

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

4 N/A	4 καὶ ἐξεδύσατο Ἰωνάθαν τὸν ἐπενδύτην τὸν ἐπάνω καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τὸν μανδύαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕως τῆς ῥομφαίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕως τοῦ τόξου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕως τῆς ζώνης αὐτοῦ.
4 N/A	4 And Jonathan stripped himself of his outer garment, and gave it to David, and his cloak and his sword and his bow, and his belt.

5 And David went out wherever 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.

5 N/A	5 καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο Δαυίδ, ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Σαούλ, συνῆκε· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας τοῦ πολέμου, καὶ ἤρεσεν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ καί γε ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς δούλων Σαούλ.
5 N/A	5 And David went out wherever Saoul sent him, he was wise, and Saoul appointed him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of Saoul’s slaves.

6 And it happened as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israēl, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.

6 καὶ ἐξῆλθον αἱ χορεύουσαι εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυὶδ ἐκ πασῶν πόλεων Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ ἐν χαρμοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις,	6 Καὶ ἐξῆλθον αἱ χορεύουσαι εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυὶδ ἐκ πασῶν πόλεων Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ ἐν χαρμοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις.
6 And the dancers came to meet David out of all the cities of Israēl, with tambourine and with rejoicing and with cymbals.	6 And the dancers came to meet David out of all the cities of Israēl, with tambourine and with rejoicing and with cymbals.

7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

7 καὶ ἐξῆρχον αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ ἔλεγον ἐπάταξεν Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ.	7 καὶ ἐξῆρχον αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ ἔλεγον· ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ.
7 And the women began and were saying, “Saoul killed among his thousands, and David among his ten thousands.”	7 And the women began and were saying, “Saoul killed among his thousands, and David among his ten thousands.”

8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and what can he have more but the kingdom?

8 καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαοὺλ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Δαυὶδ ἔδωκαν τὰς μυριάδας καὶ ἐμοὶ ἔδωκαν τὰς χιλιάδας.	8 καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαοὺλ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, καὶ εἶπε· τῷ Δαυὶδ ἔδωκαν τὰς μυριάδας καὶ ἐμοὶ ἔδωκαν τὰς χιλιάδας.
8 And the matter appeared evil in the eyes of Saoul concerning this word, and he said, “To David they have given the ten thousands, and to me they given the thousands.”	8 And the matter appeared evil in the eyes of Saoul concerning this word, and he said, “To David they have given the ten thousands, and to me they given the thousands.”

9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

9 καὶ ἦν Σαοὺλ ὑποβλεπόμενος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπέκεινα.	9 Καὶ ἦν Σαοὺλ ὑποβλεπόμενος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπέκεινα.
9 And Saoul kept eyeing David with suspicion from that day and beyond.	9 And Saoul kept eyeing David with suspicion from that day and beyond.

10 And it happened on the next day, that the evil spirit from God came on 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.

10 N/A	10 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπαύριον καὶ ἔπεσε πνεῦμα Θεοῦ πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ προεφήτευσεν ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου αὐτοῦ. Καὶ Δαυὶδ ἔψαλλεν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ὡς καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν, καὶ τὸ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ Σαούλ.
10 N/A	10 And it happened on the next day that an evil spirit from God fell on Saoul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was strumming music with his hand, according to every day. And Saoul’s spear was in his hand.

11 And 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.

11 N/A	11 καὶ ἦρεν Σαοὺλ τὸ δόρυ καὶ εἶπε· πατάξω ἐν Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐν τῷ τοίχῳ· καὶ ἐξέκλινε Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ δίς.
11 N/A	11 And Saoul took his spear and said, “I will strike David even to the wall.” But David escaped twice from his presence.

12 And Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and was departed from Saul.

12 καὶ ἐφοβήθη Σαοὺλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυὶδ	12 καὶ ἐφοβήθη Σαοὺλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυίδ,
12 And Saoul was afraid from before David,	12 And Saoul was afraid from before David,

13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over 1000; and he went out and came in before the people.

13 καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἑαυτῷ χιλίαρχον, καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ.	13 καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἑαυτῷ χιλίαρχον, καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ.
13 and he removed him from him and appointed him an officer of a thousand for himself, and he kept going out and coming in before the people.	13 and he removed him from him and appointed him an officer of a thousand for himself, and he kept going out and coming in before the people.

14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.

14 καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ συνίων, καὶ κύριος μετ’ αὐτοῦ.	14 καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ συνιῶν, καὶ Κύριος ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
14 And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.	14 And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.

15 Therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.

15 καὶ εἶδεν Σαοὺλ ὡς αὐτὸς συνίει σφόδρα, καὶ εὐλαβεῖτο ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.	15 καὶ εἶδε Σαοὺλ ὡς αὐτὸς συνιεῖ σφόδρα, καὶ εὐλαβεῖτο ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
15 And Saoul saw how he acted very prudently, and he was afraid from before him.	15 And Saoul saw how he acted very prudently, and he was afraid from before him.

16 But all Israēl and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

16 καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδας ἠγάπα τὸν Δαυίδ, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ.	16 καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδας ἠγάπα τὸν Δαυίδ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἰσεπορεύετο καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ
16 And all Israēl and Jouda loved David, because he was going out and coming in from before the people.	16 And all Israēl and Jouda loved David, because he was going out and coming in from before the people.

17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give you to wife: only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles. For Saul said, Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.

17 N/A	17 Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἰδοὺ ἡ θυγάτηρ μου ἡ μείζων Μερόβ, αὐτὴν δώσω σοι εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ πλὴν γίνου μοι εἰς υἱὸν δυνάμεως καὶ πολέμει τοὺς πολέμους Κυρίου. καὶ Σαοὺλ εἶπε· μὴ ἔστω χείρ μου ἐπ’ αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται ἐπ’ αὐτὸν χεὶρ ἀλλοφύλων.
17 N/A	17 And Saoul said to David, “Look! my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you for a wife, only be a mighty son for me and fight the wars of the Lord.” And Saoul said, “Let not my hand be on him, but the hand of the allophyles shall be on him.”

18 And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israēl, that I should be son-in-law to the king?

18 N/A	18 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαούλ· τίς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ τίς ἡ ζωὴ τῆς συγγενείας τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἔσομαι γαμβρὸς τοῦ βασιλέως;
18 N/A	18 And David said to Saoul, “Who am I, and what is the life of my father’s relatives in Israēl, that I should be the king’s son-in-law?”

19 But it happened at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to wife.

19 N/A	19 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τοῦ δοθῆναι τὴν Μερὸβ θυγατέρα Σαοὺλ τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ αὕτη ἐδόθη τῷ Ἐσριὴλ τῷ Μοθυλαθείτῃ εἰς γυναῖκα.
19 N/A	19 And it happened at the time when Merob, Saoul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Esriēl the Mothulathite for a wife.

20 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

20 καὶ ἠγάπησεν Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη Σαούλ, καὶ ηὐθύνθη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.	20 Καὶ ἠγάπησε Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαούλ, καὶ ηὑρέθη ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
20 And Saoul’s daughter Melchol loved David, and Saoul was told, and it was correct in his eyes.	20 And Saoul’s daughter Melchol loved David, and Saoul was told, and it was correct in his eyes.

21 And 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. Therefore Saul said to David, You shall this day be my son-in-law in the one of the twain.

21 καὶ εἶπεν Σαοὺλ δώσω αὐτὴν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς σκάνδαλον. καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ χεὶρ ἀλλοφύλων·	21 καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· δώσω αὐτὴν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς σκάνδαλον. καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ χεὶρ ἀλλοφύλων.
21 And Saoul said, “I will give her to him, and she will be a stumbling block for him.” And the hand of the allophyles was against Saoul,	21 And Saoul said, “I will give her to him, and she will be a stumbling block for him.” And the hand of the allophyles was against Saoul,

22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king’s son in law.

22 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Σαοὺλ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ λέγων λαλήσατε ὑμεῖς λάθρᾳ τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς θέλει ἐν σοί, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀγαπῶσίν σε, καὶ σὺ ἐπιγάμβρευσον τῷ βασιλεῖ.	22 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Σαοὺλ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ λέγων· λαλήσητε ὑμεῖς λάθρᾳ τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ θέλει ἐν σοί ὁ βασιλεύς, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀγαπῶσί σε, καὶ σὺ ἐπιγάμβρευσον τῷ βασιλεῖ.
22 and Saoul commanded his servants, saying, “Speak to David secretly, saying, ‘Look! the king wants you, and all his servants love you, and as for you, become the king’s son-in-law.’ ”	22 and Saoul commanded his servants, saying, “Speak to David secretly, saying, ‘Look! the king wants you, and all his servants love you, and as for you, become the king’s son-in-law.’ ”

23 And Saul’s servants spoke 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?

23 καὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ εἶπεν Δαυὶδ εἰ κοῦφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι βασιλεῖ; κἀγὼ ἀνὴρ ταπεινὸς καὶ οὐχὶ ἔνδοξος.	23 καὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· εἰ κοῦφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι βασιλεῖ; κἀγὼ ἀνὴρ ταπεινὸς καὶ οὐχὶ ἔνδοξος.
23 And Saoul’s servants spoke these words in the hearing of David. And David said, “Does it seem light in your eyes to become the king’s son-in-law? And as for me, I am a humble man and of not honored.”	23 And Saoul’s servants spoke these words in the hearing of David. And David said, “Does it seem light in your eyes to become the king’s son-in-law? And as for me, I am a humble man and of not honored.”

24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.

24 καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, ἃ ἐλάλησεν Δαυίδ.	24 καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, ἃ ἐλάλησε Δαυίδ.
24 And the servants of Saoul reported to him according to these things that David spoke.	24 And the servants of Saoul reported to him according to these things that David spoke.

25 And Saul said, Thus you shall say to David, The king desires none dowry, but 100 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.

25 καὶ εἶπεν Σαοὺλ τάδε ἐρεῖτε τῷ Δαυὶδ οὐ βούλεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν δόματι ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων ἐκδικῆσαι εἰς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὸν ἐμβαλεῖν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.	25 καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· τάδε ἐρεῖτε τῷ Δαυίδ· οὐ βούλεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν δόματι, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων ἐκδικῆσαι ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐλογίσατο ἔμβαλεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
25 And Saoul said, “This is what you shall say to David, ‘The king doesn’t want to punish the king’s enemies with a present, except with 100 foreskins of the allophyles.’ ” And Saoul counted on tossing him into the hands of the allophyles.	25 And Saoul said, “This is what you shall say to David, ‘The king doesn’t want to punish the king’s enemies with a present, except with 100 foreskins of the allophyles.’ ” And Saoul counted on tossing him into the hands of the allophyles.

26 And 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.

26 καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ τῷ Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ εὐθύνθη ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Δαυὶδ ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ.	26 καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ τῷ Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ηὑρέθη ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Δαυὶδ ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ.
26 And the servants of Saoul told David these words, and the word was correct in David’s eyes to be the king’s son-in-law.	26 And the servants of Saoul told David these words, and the word was correct in David’s eyes to be the king’s son-in-law.

27 Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines 200 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.

27 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύεται τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὴν Μελχὸλ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.	27 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπορεύθης αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας καὶ ἀνήνεγκε τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν. καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύεται τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὴν Μελχὸλ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.
27 And David rose and departed, he and his men, and struck 100 men among the allophyles and brought their foreskins to the king, and he became the king’s son-in-law, and he gave him his daughter Melchol to him for a wife.	27 And David rose and departed, he and his men, and struck 100 men among the allophyles and brought their foreskins to the king, and he became the king’s son-in-law, and he gave him his daughter Melchol to him for a wife.

28 And Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.

28 καὶ εἶδεν Σαοὺλ ὅτι κύριος μετὰ Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἠγάπα αὐτόν,	28 καὶ εἶδε Σαοὺλ ὅτι Κύριος μετὰ Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραήλ ἠγάπα αὐτόν,
28 And Saoul saw that the Lord was with David and that all Israēl loved him,	28 And Saoul saw that the Lord was with David and that all Israēl loved him,

29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.

29 καὶ προσέθετο εὐλαβεῖσθαι ἀπὸ Δαυὶδ ἔτι.	29 καὶ προσέθετο εὐλαβεῖσθαι ἀπὸ Δαυὶδ ἔτι.
29 and he continued to be afraid of David even more.	29 and he continued to be afraid of David even more.

30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it happened, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
