1 Samuel 18:17

David Marries Michal

17Then Saul said to David, “Here is amy elder daughter Merab. bI will give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me cand fight the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be against him, dbut let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”

2 Samuel 17:8-11

8Hushai said, “You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged,
Hebrew bitter of soul
flike a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people.
9Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place. And as soon as some of the people fall
Or  And as he falls on them
at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’
10Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly hmelt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men. 11But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, ifrom Dan to Beersheba, jas the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.
