Introduction
Jonathan and David commence a lasting friendship; and David acts prudently with respect to Saul, 1 Samuel 18:1-5 . Saul becomes jealous of David, on account of the esteem in which he is held in Israel; and, in his fury endeavors to destroy him, 1 Samuel 18:6-12 . David is made captain over a thousand; and the people love and respect him, 1 Samuel 18:13-16 . Saul, in order to ensnare him, offers him his daughter in marriage, 1 Samuel 18:17-24 ; and requires a hundred foreskins of the Philistines for dowry; hoping that, in endeavoring to procure them, David might fall by the hands of the Philistines, 1 Samuel 18:25 . David agrees to the conditions, fulfils them, and has Michal to wife, 1 Samuel 18:26-30 .
