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.”

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：「我要把大女兒米拉嫁給你，但你要英勇作戰，效忠於我，為耶和華爭戰。」掃羅心裡想：「我不要親自動手，我要藉非利士人的手殺他。」

掃羅對大衛說：“我的大女兒米拉在這裡。我要把她賜給你作妻子；只要你作我的勇士，為耶和華爭戰。”原來掃羅心裡說：“我不好親手害他，讓非利士人害他吧。”

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、

His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!

He said,“ The men of Gad and Reuben who are armed for battle must cross the Jordan with you to fight for the Lord. If they do, give them the land of Gilead as their property when the land is conquered.
