Saul said to David,“ Here is my older daughter Merab. I’ll give her to you to be your wife. Just serve me bravely and fight the Lord’ s battles.” Saul said to himself,“ I won’t have to lift my hand to strike him down. The Philistines will do that!”

扫罗对大卫说：“我将大女儿米拉给你为妻，只要你为我奋勇，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，要藉非利士人的手害他。”

扫罗对大卫说：“看哪，我将大女儿米拉嫁给你，只要你作我的勇士，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，要藉非利士人的手害他。”

扫罗对大卫说：“看哪，我将大女儿米拉嫁给你，只要你作我的勇士，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，要藉非利士人的手害他。”

扫罗对大卫说：“我要把大女儿米拉嫁给你，但你要英勇作战，效忠于我，为耶和华争战。”扫罗心里想：“我不要亲自动手，我要借非利士人的手杀他。”

扫罗对大卫说：“我的大女儿米拉在这里。我要把她赐给你作妻子；只要你作我的勇士，为耶和华争战。”原来扫罗心里说：“我不好亲手害他，让非利士人害他吧。”

扫罗对大卫说：“看哪，我把我的大女儿米拉给你为妻，只要你作我的勇士，为耶和华作战。”因为扫罗想：“我的手不对付他，让非利士人的手对付他吧！”

掃羅對大衛說：「我將大女兒米拉給你為妻，只要你為我奮勇，為耶和華爭戰。」掃羅心裏說：「我不好親手害他，要藉非利士人的手害他。」

掃羅對大衛說：「看哪，我將大女兒米拉嫁給你，只要你作我的勇士，為耶和華爭戰。」掃羅心裏說：「我不好親手害他，要藉非利士人的手害他。」

掃羅對大衛說：『看吧，我的大女兒米拉、我要將她給你為妻；只要你做我的勇士，去打永恆主的仗，就好了。』掃羅心裏說：『我不好親手害他，要藉着非利士人的手去害他。』

掃羅對大衛說：「看哪，我把我的大女兒米拉給你為妻，只要你作我的勇士，為耶和華作戰。」因為掃羅想：「我的手不對付他，讓非利士人的手對付他吧！」

掃羅謂大衛曰、我以長女米拉妻爾、惟當為我奮勇、為耶和華戰、蓋掃羅意謂、我不可親手害之、願非利士人加手害之、

掃羅忌大闢、自謂與其戮之由於己手、寧藉手於非利士人以害之。故謂之曰、爾當為豪傑、緣耶和華而戰、我必以長女米臘妻爾。

掃羅謂大衛曰、我長女米拉、我以之妻爾、惟欲爾為豪傑、為主而戰、掃羅自謂、我不親手害之、乃藉手於非利士人害之、

Saul said to David,“ Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage; only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul said to himself,“ I will not raise a hand against him. Let the Philistines do that!”

Then Saul said to David,“ Here is my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me and fight the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought,“ Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”

One day Saul said to David,“ I am ready to give you my older daughter, Merab, as your wife. But first you must prove yourself to be a real warrior by fighting the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought,“ I’ll send him out against the Philistines and let them kill him rather than doing it myself.”

Saul told David,“ Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I’ll give her to you as a wife if you will be a warrior for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking,“ I don’t need to raise a hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”

Then Saul said to David,“ Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought,“ My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”

Then Saul said to David,“ Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles.” For Saul thought,“ Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”

And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah’s battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

Saul told David,“ Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I’ll give her to you as a wife, if you will be a warrior for me and fight the Lord’s battles.” But Saul was thinking,“ My hand doesn’t need to be against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”

And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

Then Saul said to David,“ Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of the LORD.” For Saul thought,“ There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!”

Saul said to David,“ Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said,“ Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”

“ Please forgive me if I shouldn’t have done that. The Lord your God will certainly give you and your family line a kingdom that will last. That’s because you fight the Lord’ s battles. You won’t do anything wrong as long as you live.

The Israelites had been saying,“ Just look at how this man keeps daring Israel to fight him! The king will make the man who kills Goliath very wealthy. The king will also give his own daughter to be that man’s wife. The king won’t require anyone in the man’s family to pay any taxes in Israel.”

Saul said,“ Tell David,‘ Here’s the price the king wants for the bride. He wants you to kill 100 Philistines. Then bring back the skins you cut off when you circumcise them. That’s how Saul will get even with his enemies.’ ” Saul hoped that the Philistines would strike David down.

“ I’ll give her to David to be his wife,” Saul said to himself.“ Then maybe she’ll trap him. And maybe the Philistines will strike him down.” So Saul said to David,“ Now you have a second chance to become my son- in- law.”

The Lord doesn’t rescue people by using a sword or a spear. And everyone here will know it. The battle belongs to the Lord. He will hand all of you over to us.”

Why did you turn your back on what I told you to do? You did what is evil in my sight. You made sure that Uriah, the Hittite, would be killed in battle. You took his wife to be your own. You let the men of Ammon kill him with their swords.

His talk is as smooth as butter. But he has war in his heart. His words flow like olive oil. But they are like swords ready for battle.

But we will prepare ourselves for battle. We’ll go across the Jordan River and fight for the Lord. We will do just as you have said.”

In it he wrote,“ Put Uriah out in front. That’s where the fighting is the heaviest. Then pull your men back from him. When you do, the Ammonites will strike him down and kill him.”

The witnesses must throw the first stones. Then the rest of the people must also throw stones. Get rid of that evil person.

He said,“ The men of Gad and Reuben must get ready for battle. They must go across the Jordan River with you. They must help you fight for the Lord. They must stay with you until the land has been brought under your control. If they do, you must give them the land of Gilead as their own.

Everyone tells lies to their neighbors. With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it.

Then Moses said to them,“ Do what you have promised to do. Get ready to fight for the Lord.

Here is what the Book of the Wars of the Lord says about it.“ Sing about Zahab in Suphah and the valleys. Sing about the Arnon
