⁶

And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.

¹

И$ бы'сть е^гда` преста` гл~ати къ саё%лђ. и^ дш~а и^ѓ^а^наџа'на съ дш~ею дв~довою съпряже'ся. и^ възлюби` е^го и^ѓ^а^наџа'нъ эT дш~а свое^я”

⁷

And the women began the strain, and said, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

²

И$ поя'тъ е^го саё%лъ въ дн~и ѓ%ны, и не даде` е^мђ възврати'тися въ доM эTц~а е^го”

⁸

And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands.

³

И$ завњща` и^ѓ^а^наџа'нъ съ дв~домъ завњт'ъ, за не'же възлюби е^го эT дш~а свое^я”

¹²

And Saul was alarmed on account of David.

⁴

И$ съвлече'ся и^ѓ^а^наџа'нъ съ ри'зы свое^я, и^ да` ю& двд~ви, і^ и'ны ѓ^де'жи своя` да'же до ѓ^рђж'їя свое^го, и^ до лђ'ка свое^го, и^ до по'яса свое^го”

¹³

And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.

⁵

І$ и^схожда'ше дв~дъ въ всњ'хъ пђте'хъ, и^дњж'е а%ще посыла'ше е^го саё%лъ, поста'ви же е^го саё%лъ наD мђжи` во'искими, и^ ё^го'денъ б^њ преD ѓ^чи'ма всњ'хъ люде'и, и^ преD слђга'ми саё%ловыми”

¹⁴

And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.

⁶

И$ быs, внегда` входи'ти и^мъ, вънегда възврати'ся дв~дъ эT побњжде'нїя и^ноплеме'нникъ, і^ и^зыидо'ша дв~ы ликоствђ'ющїи на срњте'нїе саё%ла цр~я, эT всњ'хъ гра'дъ і^и^л~евыхъ пою'ще и^ скачюще, в тљ=м#па'нњхъ съ ра'достїю и^ съ гђ'сльми”

¹⁵

And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.

⁷

И$ хожда'хђ же'ны ликђ'юще и^ гл~юще, побњди саё%лъ съ ты'сящами а^ дв~дъ съ тма'ми,

¹⁶

And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.

⁸

и^ разгнњ'вася саё%лъ ѕњ'ло лђка'вы б^о ја^ви'шася гл~ы преD ѓ^чи'ма саё%ловыма ѓ^ словеси` се'мъ, и^ рече саё%лъ, дв~дви даша тмы`, а^ мнњ` да'ша ты'сяща, и^ что же е^мђ не быs толи'ко црsтво”

²⁰

And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.

⁹

И$ б^њ пострњка'емъ саё%лъ дв~домъ эT того` дн~е и^ пото'мъ”

²¹

And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling-block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.

¹⁰

И$ бы'сть эT ё%трњшнего дн~е, и^ нападе` дђ'хъ лђка'выи эT г~а на саё%ла, и^ прорица'ше посредњ` до'мђ свое^го, и^ дв~дъ поя'ше въ гђ'сли ја%коже и^ по вся` дн~и, ко'пїе же в рђ'кђ саё%лю”

²²

And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak ye privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in thee, and all his servants love thee, and do thou become the king's son-in-law.

¹¹

И$ взе'мъ саё%лъ ко'пїе и^ рече поражђ` дв~да къ стњнњ`, и^ ё^клони'ся дв~дъ эT лица` его два'щи”

²³

And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, Is it a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? whereas I am an humble man, and not honourable?

¹²

И$ ё^боя'ся саё%лъ эT лица` двд~ва, ја%ко г~ь б^њ с ни'мъ, а^ эT саё%ла эTстђпи`”

²⁴

And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.

¹³

И$ эTста'ви е^го саё%лъ эT себе`, и^ постави е^го въ ѓ%бласти свое'и ты'сђщника' і^ и^схожDа'ше, и^ въсхожDа'ше преD люDми”

²⁵

And Saul said, Thus shall ye speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.

¹⁴

И$ бњ дв~дъ въ всњ'хъ пђте'хъ свои^хъ смысля` и^ г~ь б^њ с ни'мъ”

²⁶

And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.

¹⁵

И ви'дњ саёl ја%кото'и смы'слитъ ѕњ'ло, и^ сђмня'шеся эT лица` е^го”

²⁷

And David arose, and went, he and his men, and smote among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and Saul gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.

¹⁶

Ве'сь же і^и^л~ь, і^ и^ё'да любля'хђ дв~да. ја%ко се'и въсхожда'ше і^ и^схожда'ше, преD лице'мъ всXњ люді'и”

²⁸

And Saul saw that the Lord was with David, and that all Israel loved him.

¹⁷

И$ рече саё%лъ къ дв~дђ, с^е дщи моя` большая меро'въ, сїю тебњ да'мъ в женђ`, то'кмо бђди м^и въ сн~а си'лы, и^ побора'и бра'ни гн~и, саё%лъ б^о рече да не бђ'детъ рђка` моя` на неM, н^о да бђдеT рђка` и^ноплеме'нническа”

²⁹

And he was yet more afraid of David.

¹⁸

И$ рече дв~дъ къ саё'лђ кт^о а%зъ е^смь, и живо'тъ эTц~а мое^го въ і^и^л~и, ја%ко да бђ'дђ зя'ть црsкїи”
