AVM · Bíblia Sagrada Ave-Maria
1 Tendo Davi acabado de falar com Saul, a alma de Jônatas apegou-se à alma de Davi e Jônatas começou a amá-lo como a si mesmo.
2 Naquele mesmo dia, Saul o reteve em sua casa e não o deixou voltar para a casa de seu pai.
3 Jônatas fez um pacto com Davi, pois o amava como a si mesmo.
4 Tirou o seu manto, deu-o a Davi, bem como a sua armadura, sua espada, seu arco e seu cinto.
5 Saul incumbiu Davi de diversas missões e todas foram muito frutuosas. Colocou-o à frente dos seus guerreiros e ele ganhou a simpatia de todo o povo, inclusive dos servos do rei.
6 Voltando o exército, depois de Davi ter matado o filisteu, de todas as cidades de Israel saíam as mulheres ao encontro do rei Saul, cantando e dançando alegremente, ao som de tamborins e címbalos.
7 E enquanto dançavam, diziam umas às outras: "Saul matou seus milhares e Davi seus dez milhares".
8 Saul irritou-se em extremo e desagradou-lhe tal canção. "Dão dez mil a Davi – disse ele – e a mim apenas mil! Só lhe falta a coroa!"
9 E a partir daquele dia, Saul olhou Davi com maus olhos.
10 No dia seguinte, apoderou-se dele o mau espírito de Deus e teve um acesso de delírio em sua casa. Como nos outros dias, Davi pôs-se a tocar a cítara.
11 Saul, que tinha uma lança na mão, arremessou-a contra Davi, dizendo: "Vou cravá-lo na parede!". Mas Davi se desviou do golpe por duas vezes.
12 Saul temia Davi, porque o Senhor estava com o jovem, ao passo que se tinha retirado de Saul.
13 Afastou-o então de si, estabelecendo-o chefe de mil homens, à frente dos quais Davi empreendia as suas expedições.
14 Saía-se bem em todas as suas empresas, porque o Senhor estava com ele.
15 Saul, vendo-o tão engenhoso, teve medo dele.
16 Mas todos em Israel e Judá o amavam, porque ele entrava e saía diante deles.
17 Saul disse a Davi: "Eis minha filha mais velha, Merob, que eu te darei por mulher, contanto que sejas valoroso e combatas nas guerras do Senhor". Saul pensava: "Não é bom que o fira a minha mão, mas antes a dos filisteus".
18 Davi respondeu: "Quem sou eu? E o que é a minha vida ou a família de meu pai em Israel, para que me torne genro do rei?".
19 Ora, tendo chegado o tempo em que Merob, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a Davi, deram-na em casamento a Adriel, o molatita.
20 Ora, Micol, filha de Saul, amava Davi. E contaram-no a Saul, que se alegrou com isso.
21 "Vou dar-lhe Micol – pensava Saul –, para que ela lhe seja uma armadilha e ele caia na mão dos filisteus." Saul disse, pois, a Davi pela segunda vez: "Agora vais tornar-te meu genro".
22 E ordenou aos seus servos que dissessem em segredo a Davi: "O rei afeiçoou-se a ti e todos os seus servos te amam. Torna-te genro do rei".
23 Os servos de Saul repetiram essas palavras aos ouvidos de Davi, mas este respondeu: "Parece-vos pouca coisa ser genro do rei? Eu sou pobre e de condição humilde".
24 Os servos de Saul referiram-lhe as palavras de Davi.
25 Saul ordenou: "Falarei assim a Davi que o rei só pede como dote cem prepúcios de filisteus, para vingar-se dos seus inimigos". Seu desígnio era entregar Davi nas mãos dos filisteus.
26 Transmitiram os servos a Davi essa mensagem, o qual se agradou da proposta de tornar-se genro do rei.
27 Antes que expirasse o prazo fixado, Davi partiu com seus homens; matou duzentos filisteus e trouxe os seus prepúcios, entregando-os integralmente ao rei, para se tornar seu genro. Saul deu-lhe por mulher sua filha Micol.
28 Ele compreendeu que o Senhor estava com Davi. Sua filha Micol o amava.
29 O rei sentiu com isso redobrar o seu medo. Durante todo o resto de sua vida ele detestou Davi.
30 Cada vez que os chefes dos filisteus faziam incursões, Davi era mais bem-sucedido que todos os homens de Saul, o que deu ao seu nome grande fama.
KJV · King James Version
1 And 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. 2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house. 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 4 And 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
6 And 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 7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8 And 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 9 And 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. 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.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul. 13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.18.14 behaved…: or, prospered 15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 16 But 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 18 And 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? 19 But 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. 20 And 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 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. 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. 23 And 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? 24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.18.24 On…: Heb. According to these words 25 And 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. 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.18.26 expired: Heb. fulfilled 27 Wherefore 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. 29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually. 30 Then 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
