When Saul saw that Jehovah was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him, he was more afraid of David

[jidong xiao]

扫罗图谋使大卫被非利士人所杀。（17～30。）扫罗的计画是将他大女儿米拉给大卫为妻；但他没有遵守诺言。（17～19。）当扫罗知道他的另一个女儿米甲爱大卫，他就计画将她给大卫为妻，作大卫的网罗。（21。）扫罗将米甲给大卫，条件是一百非利士人的阳皮。（22～25。）扫罗想要用这条件，以实现他藉非利士人之手杀大卫的计谋。

大卫将阳皮满数交给扫罗，于是扫罗将女儿米甲给大卫为妻。扫罗看出耶和华与大卫同在，女儿米甲也爱大卫，就更怕大卫，从此常作大卫的仇敌。（28～29。）不仅如此，每逢非利士首领出来打仗，大卫行事都比扫罗的臣仆精明。因此大卫的名极受尊重。（30。）

Saul plotted to cause David to be killed by the Philistines (vv. 17-30). Saul's plot was to give his oldest daughter, Merab, to David as wife; however, Saul did not keep his word (vv. 17-19). When Saul learned that another daughter, Michal, loved David, Saul plotted to give her to David as wife that she might be a snare to him (v. 21). Saul's giving of Michal to David was on the term that David would give him a hundred Philistine foreskins (vv. 22-25). Saul intended that this would fulfill his plan to kill David through the hand of the Philistines.

David brought the full number of foreskins to Saul, and Saul gave him Michal as wife. When Saul saw that Jehovah was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him, he was more afraid of David and became his enemy from then on (vv. 28-29). Furthermore, when the princes of the Philistines went forth against Israel, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul. So David's name was very highly esteemed (v. 30).
