And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. 18-27 Samuel, that good prophet, was so far from envying Saul, or bearing him any ill-will, that he was the first and most forward to do him honour.

At the end of this somewhat extensive time, there was a sufficient victory over the Philistines that hostilities, for a time, were abated. 3 But David’s men said to him, “Here in Judah we are afraid. This is either a summary of what Saul was about to do through his servants as intermediaries, which is possible, or a direct proposition to David. 2 Samuel 3:14 Saul covenanted with David for a hundred; and David himself says, 2 Samuel 3:14, that he espoused Michal for a hundred: hence it is likely that one hundred is the true reading. 3.

Saul thought, Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." 1 Samuel 18:27 New International Version (NIV) 27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins.

And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. We do not know why Saul failed to honor his promise of giving David his daughter Merab. At any rate, Saul employed his servants in an effort to persuade David to marry his daughter. It was not actually "a dowry," but the present which the bridegroom was supposed to give to the bride's father. It might have been because David (as he did later in regard to the dowry for Michal) indicated that he was unable to provide a suitable dowry. The health of our neighbor of many years was rapidly declining. Instead, David's many successful military missions led to his increasing popularity with all the people. l. 6. c. 10. sect.

This was the number which Saul had required (1 Samuel 18:25), and David acted rightly in not boasting that he had really given twice as many (1 Samuel 18:27). SAUL HOPED TO SEE THAT DAVID WAS KILLED IN BATTLE, "Then Saul said to David, "Here is my elder daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife; only be valiant for me and fight the Lord's battles." Not even the enthusiastic women could have referred to the victory over one man as his slaying his "ten thousands." David might well have thought that the attempt of Saul to kill him was merely due to a temporary fit of madness, otherwise, he would hardly have exposed himself a second time to Saul's murderous actions. We are well aware that some very able commentators take this paragraph as a record of what happened immediately after David slew Goliath; but it appears to this writer that there are substantial objections to that viewpoint. David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, &c. — By discovering, it is likely, the designs of … "The allusion here is not to the combat with Goliath but to one of the expeditions mentioned in 1 Samuel 18:5. Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, `The king desires no marriage present except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'"

But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.".

Just as the efforts of Pharaoh to destroy Israel led directly to the placement of Moses within the inner circle of the family of Pharaoh, bouncing Moses, as it were, out of the Nile river into the lap of the princess, in a similar manner, Saul's repeated efforts to get rid of his rival David resulted in David's marriage to Saul's daughter! 1 Samuel 18:27 27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and l his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and m David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law.
