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