It was like this for the twenty years I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times.

Jacob was in love with Rachel and said,“ I’ll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”

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!”But David said to Saul,“ Who am I, and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son- in- law?”So when the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.“ I will give her to him,” he thought,“ so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David,“ Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”Then Saul ordered his attendants:“ Speak to David privately and say,‘ Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son- in- law.’”They repeated these words to David. But David said,“ Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.”When Saul’s servants told him what David had said,Saul replied,“ Say to David,‘ The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed,David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son- in- law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love,

“ Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

“ If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters— yes, even their own life— such a person cannot be my disciple.

“ No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

“ Your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons.

Jacob fled to the country of Aram; Israel served to get a wife, and to pay for her he tended sheep.

After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban,“ Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland.Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

And we answered,‘ We have an aged father, and there is a young son born to him in his old age. His brother is dead, and he is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
