Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Et factum est cum complesset loqui ad Saul, anima Jonathæ conglutinata est animæ David, et dilexit eum Jonathas quasi animam suam.
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.
2Tulitque eum Saul in die illa, et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui.
2And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
3Inierunt autem David et Jonathas fœdus: diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam.
3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4Nam expoliavit se Jonathas tunica qua erat indutus, et dedit eam David, et reliqua vestimenta sua, usque ad gladium et arcum suum, et usque ad balteum.
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.
5Egrediebatur quoque David ad omnia quæcumque misisset eum Saul, et prudenter se agebat: posuitque eum Saul super viros belli, et acceptus erat in oculis universi populi, maximeque in conspectu famulorum Saul.
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.
6Porro cum reverteretur percusso Philisthæo David, egressæ sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israël, cantantes, chorosque ducentes in occursum Saul regis, in tympanis lætitiæ, et in sistris.
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.
7Et præcinebant mulieres, ludentes, atque dicentes: [Percussit Saul mille, et David decem millia.]
7And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8Iratus est autem Saul nimis, et displicuit in oculis ejus sermo iste: dixitque: Dederunt David decem millia, et mihi mille dederunt: quid ei superest, nisi solum regnum?
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?
9Non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David a die illa et deinceps.
9And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10Post diem autem alteram, invasit spiritus Dei malus Saul, et prophetabat in medio domus suæ: David autem psallebat manu sua, sicut per singulos dies. Tenebatque Saul lanceam,
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.
11et misit eam, putans quod configere posset David cum pariete: et declinavit David a facie ejus secundo.
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.
12Et timuit Saul David, eo quod Dominus esset cum eo, et a se recessisset.
12¶ And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13Amovit ergo eum Saul a se, et fecit eum tribunum super mille viros: et egrediebatur, et intrabat in conspectu populi.
13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14In omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat, et Dominus erat cum eo.
14And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15Vidit itaque Saul quod prudens esset nimis, et cœpit cavere eum.
15Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
16Omnis autem Israël et Juda diligebat David: ipse enim ingrediebatur et egrediebatur ante eos.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
17Dixitque Saul ad David: Ecce filia mea major Merob: ipsam dabo tibi uxorem: tantummodo esto vir fortis, et præliare bella Domini. Saul autem reputabat, dicens: Non sit manus mea in eum, sed sit super eum manus Philisthinorum.
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.
18Ait autem David ad Saul: Quis ego sum, aut quæ est vita mea, aut cognatio patris mei in Israël, ut fiam gener regis?
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?
19Factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David, data est Hadrieli Molathitæ uxor.
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.
20Dilexit autem David Michol filia Saul altera. Et nuntiatum est Saul, et placuit ei.
20And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21Dixitque Saul: Dabo eam illi, ut fiat ei in scandalum, et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum. Dixitque Saul ad David: In duabus rebus gener meus eris hodie.
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.
22Et mandavit Saul servis suis: Loquimini ad David clam me, dicentes: Ecce places regi, et omnes servi ejus diligunt te: nunc ergo esto gener regis.
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.
23Et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba hæc. Et ait David: Num parum videtur vobis, generum esse regis? ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis.
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?
24Et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes: Hujuscemodi verba locutus est David.
24And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
25Dixit autem Saul: Sic loquimini ad David: Non habet rex sponsalia necesse, nisi tantum centum præputia Philisthinorum, ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis. Porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manus Philisthinorum.
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.
26Cumque renuntiassent servi ejus David verba quæ dixerat Saul, placuit sermo in oculis David, ut fieret gener regis.
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.
27Et post paucos dies surgens David, abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant. Et percussit ex Philisthiim ducentos viros, et attulit eorum præputia et annumeravit ea regi, ut esset gener ejus. Dedit itaque Saul ei Michol filiam suam uxorem.
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.
28Et vidit Saul, et intellexit quod Dominus esset cum David. Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum.
28¶ And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
29Et Saul magis cœpit timere David: factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus.
29And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
30Et egressi sunt principes Philisthinorum. A principio autem egressionis eorum, prudentius se gerebat David quam omnes servi Saul, et celebre factum est nomen ejus nimis.
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.
