Yes, for twenty years I slaved in your house! I worked for fourteen years earning your two daughters, and then six more years for your flock. And you changed my wages ten times!

Since Jacob was in love with Rachel, he told her father,“ I’ll work for you for seven years if you’ll give me Rachel, your younger daughter, as my wife.”

So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days.

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.”“ Who am I, and what is my family in Israel that I should be the king’s son in law?” David exclaimed.“ My father’s family is nothing!”So when the time came for Saul to give his daughter Merab in marriage to David, he gave her instead to Adriel, a man from Meholah.In the meantime, Saul’s daughter Michal had fallen in love with David, and Saul was delighted when he heard about it.“ Here’s another chance to see him killed by the Philistines!” Saul said to himself. But to David he said,“ Today you have a second chance to become my son in law!”Then Saul told his men to say to David,“ The king really likes you, and so do we.

Vengeance on my enemies is all I really want.” But what Saul had in mind was that David would be killed in the fight.David was delighted to accept the offer. Before the time limit expired,he and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. Then David fulfilled the king’s requirement by presenting all their foreskins to him. So Saul gave his daughter Michal to David to be his wife.

“ If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.

“ If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else— your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters— yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.

“ No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.

“ Then my father said to us,‘ As you know, my wife had two sons,

Jacob fled to the land of Aram, and there he earned a wife by tending sheep.

Soon after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban,“ Please release me so I can go home to my own country.Let me take my wives and children, for I have earned them by serving you, and let me be on my way. You certainly know how hard I have worked for you.”

And we responded,‘ Yes, my lord, we have a father who is an old man, and his youngest son is a child of his old age. His full brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him very much.’
