1 Samuel 18:15

New American Bible - revised edition

Seeing how he prospered, Saul feared David.

See the chapter Copy

It is good for the man gracious in lending, who conducts his affairs with justice.

Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it.

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity.

Saul then began to fear David because the Lord was with him but had turned away from Saul.

and prospered in all his ways, for the Lord was with him.

But all Israel and Judah loved David, since he led them on their expeditions. Saul Plots Against David.
