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

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ преста̀ глаго́лати къ саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ дꙋша̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́на съ дꙋше́ю даві́довою спрѧже́сѧ, и҆ возлюбѝ є҆го̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ ѿ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀.

⁷

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

²

И҆ поѧ́тъ є҆го̀ саꙋ́лъ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны и҆ не дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ возврати́тисѧ въ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀.

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

И҆ завѣща̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ и҆ даві́дъ завѣ́тъ, поне́же возлюбѝ є҆го̀ ѿ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀:

¹²

And Saul was alarmed on account of David.

⁴

и҆ совлечѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ ри́зꙋ свою̀ ве́рхнюю и҆ дадѐ ю҆̀ даві́дꙋ, и҆ и҆́ны ѻ҆дє́жды своѧ̑ да́же до меча̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ до лꙋ́ка своегѡ̀ и҆ до по́ѧса своегѡ̀.

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

И҆ хожда́ше даві́дъ разꙋ́мнѡ во всѣ́хъ, а҆́може а҆́ще посыла́ше є҆го̀ саꙋ́лъ: поста́ви же є҆го̀ саꙋ́лъ над̾ мꙋ̑жи во́инскими, и҆ оу҆го́денъ бѣ̀ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма всѣ́хъ люді́й и҆ пред̾ слꙋга́ми саꙋ́ловыми.

¹⁴

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

⁶

И҆ бы́сть, внегда̀ входи́ти и҆̀мъ, є҆гда̀ возврати́сѧ даві́дъ ѿ побѣ́ды над̾ и҆ноплеме́нникомъ: и҆ и҆зыдо́ша (дѣ̑вы) ликовствꙋ́ющыѧ во срѣ́тенїе саꙋ́ла царѧ̀ ѿ всѣ́хъ градѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ пою́щѧ и҆ ска́чꙋщѧ въ тѷмпа́нѣхъ съ ра́достїю и҆ съ гꙋ́сльми.

¹⁵

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

⁷

И҆ и҆схожда́хꙋ жєны̀ ликꙋ́ющѧ и҆ глаго́лющѧ: побѣдѝ саꙋ́лъ съ ты́сѧщами свои́ми, а҆ даві́дъ со тма́ми свои́ми.

¹⁶

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

⁸

И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ саꙋ́лъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ лꙋка̑вы ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ глаго́лы пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма саꙋ́ловыма ѡ҆ словесѝ се́мъ. И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: даві́дꙋ да́ша тмы̑, мнѣ́ же да́ша ты́сѧщы: и҆ чегѡ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ (нѣ́сть), то́чїю ца́рства;

²⁰

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

⁹

И҆ бѣ̀ саꙋ́лъ подзира́ѧ даві́да ѿ днѐ ѻ҆́нагѡ и҆ пото́мъ.

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

И҆ бы́сть ѿ оу҆́трешнѧгѡ днѐ, и҆ напада́ше дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый ѿ бг҃а на саꙋ́ла, и҆ прорица́ше посредѣ̀ до́мꙋ своегѡ̀: и҆ даві́дъ поѧ́ше рꙋко́ю свое́ю (въ гꙋ́сли), ꙗ҆́коже и҆ по всѧ̑ дни̑: копїе́ же въ рꙋцѣ̀ саꙋ́ли:

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

и҆ взѧ̀ саꙋ́лъ копїѐ и҆ речѐ: поражꙋ̀ даві́да къ стѣнѣ̀. И҆ оу҆клони́сѧ даві́дъ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ два́жды.

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

И҆ оу҆боѧ́сѧ саꙋ́лъ ѿ лица̀ даві́дова, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бѣ̀ съ ни́мъ, а҆ ѿ саꙋ́ла ѿстꙋпѝ:

²⁴

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

¹³

и҆ ѿста́ви є҆го̀ саꙋ́лъ ѿ себє̀, и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ себѣ̀ тысѧщенача́лника: и҆ и҆схожда́ше и҆ вхожда́ше пред̾ людьмѝ.

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

И҆ бѣ̀ даві́дъ во всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ свои́хъ смы́слѧ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь бѣ̀ съ ни́мъ.

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

И҆ ви́дѣ саꙋ́лъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й смы́слитъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ боѧ́шесѧ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀.

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

Ве́сь же і҆и҃ль и҆ і҆ꙋ́да люблѧ́хꙋ даві́да, ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й вхожда́ше и҆ и҆схожда́ше пред̾ лице́мъ люді́й.

²⁸

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

¹⁷

И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ къ даві́дꙋ: сѐ, дщѝ моѧ̀ бо́лшаѧ мерѡ́въ, сїю̀ тебѣ̀ да́мъ въ женꙋ̀, то́кмѡ бꙋ́ди мѝ въ сы́на си́лы и҆ побора́й бра̑ни гдⷭ҇ни. И҆ саꙋ́лъ речѐ: да не бꙋ́детъ рꙋка̀ моѧ̀ на не́мъ, но да бꙋ́детъ рꙋка̀ и҆ноплеме́ннича.

²⁹

And he was yet more afraid of David.

¹⁸

И҆ речѐ даві́дъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: кто̀ а҆́зъ є҆́смь; и҆ ко́е житїѐ сро́дства ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ во і҆и҃ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́дꙋ зѧ́ть ца́рскїй;
